Customer Reviews

Had so much fun and we were able to get so many plushies for only $20. It's honestly a deal! This is going to be a new hang out spot from now on. It's way better than shopping because you can win lots of things.

Absolutely loved my experience at this establishment! The prices are extremely fair (I spent $20 for 46 tokens) and I got such adorable stuffed animals. They have a point system where you can trade in unwanted stuffies to trade in and I highly recommend getting the capybara cross bag for only 2 points! Overall, super clean and the music playing (from Illit to Blackpink) makes the vibe so much better!

This was so much fun! The claws aren't rigged (seriously) and the prices are amazing! I had a super fun day with my friends and I would 100% go again

The staff here is so kind. All machines are 2 tokens per turn. So fun and you actually win things unlike other arcade centers. This is definitely my new go to for fair and fun times Edit: I used to love this place and it was my go to for a while and when I noticed they were offering labubus I was even more excited but once I won one and checked its authenticity guess what- it was fake. I even asked if they were real too and I was told yes. If you look at the website to what I attached it's not even the rea

My in-laws took us here. They liked the prizes and the games seem fair. We had a lot of fun. The kids managed to win some stuffies, so the claws aren't too loose. Most importantly, the kids had a blast and loved the prizes that they got. Better yet, if you frequent this place regularly, you can trade the stuffies in for other prizes so you don't have to worry about stale repeats.

There's so many claw machine shops in Bellaire now, but this is one of the original and best ones! Each pull will cost you a little under $1 (two tokens, and $50 gets you 130 = 65 pulls). We split the $50 pack for 3 people and ended up with about 15 total plushies across different machines. They have a trade-in system where about 35 trade-ins gets you a large plushie. I still feel like the large plushie machine is a bit rigged on timing, but we had a blast with all of the normal machines.

Cute stuff. You can exchange the one you don't want for another items. You need to coins to play. Claw are more harder than the store next door. This one is more harder for kids. But good your teens to have fun

This is our first time here and my kids love it! They left with a lot of prizes! Overall great family place to visit! Definitely recommend!

this place is so much fun! reasonable pricing and actually winnable claw machines, so this is great for kids! there's also a ton of different prizes that they change out regularly! even if you don't want anything they currently have in stock, you can save up your stamps for a prize you actually want later! highly recommend this place for a late night activity ??

This is a great place to bring friends family, great atmosphere, plushies were amazing. Great price and helpful employees. Highly recommend.

The place is super beautiful, you can choose the stuffed animal that you like the most and you will surely take it, the people who work here are very polite and friendly, you will have an incredible time with your children friends, I had a very nice time with my husband.

Our favorite! Out of all of the Claw places around this one was by far the best. The prices were better and the machines worked really well. It was a great experience. My kids got a good amount of plushies.

Beautiful little spot ?? I had so much fun and won tons of plushes! The plushes are adorable and the games are easy. Tons of variety (Sanrio, BT21, Naruto, Pok?mon, and more) such a vibe and they were playing only newjeans while I was here (love love love) super cool giant gengar outside too!!!

Absolutely loved this place! The vibes are immaculate?super fun music, tons of adorable plushies, and so many machines to choose from. Perfect place to visit when you just want something quick and fun to do!

Such a cool place, if you like the claw machine games at the arcade then this is the spot for you, reasonably priced with many claw machines where you can win small and medium size plush toys. it's open late and gets very busy. overall great vibe and something different to do.

A fun time! Left with a lot of plushies Craft Land is a hidden gem in the shopping center, especially if you're looking for something fun to do late at night! It's one of the only interactive arcades open late, and it's packed with charm. The claw machines are super affordable, making it easy to try your luck without breaking the bank. While the space is a bit tight, the vibrant decor and friendly staff more than make up for it. The atmosphere is lively, and there's a fun energy that keeps you coming back.

This place rocks. Their claws are strong and pretty forgiving even if you don't align it perfectly. Even kids can win, unlike some claw places that may be nearby that have the usual loose claws you see at arcades (Looking at you Claw Kingdom). Worth the money, and youll be leaving with a huge bag of prizes!

Super fun claw machine place! They have the cutest stuffed animals and it's a really enjoyable experience

Great claw machine place. Love the options in the machines and prize wall. Super friendly staff. This is also next to another great claw machine place. Worth visiting both if you can find parking. It's nearly always busy in the business center, so prepare to spend a little time finding a spot during peak hours.

Super fun and you win a good amount but some of the staff are so rude. I was teying to trade in stuff but she kept ignoring me. After i finally got her attention no smile and wouldnt even talk just kept pointing at the prizes.

SUPER cute place!! love the collection and service here! would definitely come again.

Fantastic spot for kids! They had a blast and walked away with plenty of prizes. The pricing is reasonable, and the claw machines are actually fair?making it easier to win toys compared to other places.

So fun. We didn't spend a whole bunch but still won so much :)))

A fun visit, the selection was nice and it usually changes and the workers are pretty helpful

Great experience for the value! Lots of fun prizes to win, for all ages! My 6 year old niece won 11 plushies, she's stocked!

Craft Land is the place to be where the fun never stops, and everyone wins! Karen, Alvaro, Casandra, and Jose made sure we had the BEST time. The variety of bright, colorful claw machines blew me away with so many Hello Kitty and Pok?mon plush toys. The best part? You can trade in smaller prizes for bigger plush toys! This place made me feel like a kid again, and I can't wait to go back. I walked into wanting the Snorlax but ended up staying long enough to develop a strategy and won two bags full of goodie

They love the clothes and having so much fun

This is a great place snd the prizes are good. I'm not even good at claw games but I won a bunch of prizes.

Super fun place, you will come out with a bag full of plushies! Worth it ??

OKAYYYY YALL! CRAFTLAND is our go to SPOT after a BOBA run at Chinatown! THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST CLAW MACHINES PLACE IN H-TOWN. My husband and I along with our cousins and friends come here at least twice a week. Their machines are winnable and tokens prices are reasonable. You literally could spend $50 and able to win 4,5 bags full of plushies. I like how they have different variety of sanrio characters, pokemons and tons of others updated weekly. Besides you can also trade in your winning plushies for

So much fun! Expected claws to be classically rigged but not only are they super fair but the toys are super nice and soft too! Staff were extra sweet and made the whole experience such a pleasure, I can't wait to be back!

This place is so awesome. Good music, Good vibes, super bright and colorful. Will be coming back to get more stuff animals.

Never been to a claw machine arcade before and I'm glad that this was my first time! I spent $30 and ended up getting 10 plushy toys which I think was definitely worth it! I went on a Friday evening around 720. It was quite crowded however it was still doable. it was pretty hot inside, but I definitely had a fun time! I would come back.

Tons of fun for folks that are seeking out that next consumerist dopamine hit ?? $10 for 22 tokens! (Works out to be 6 plays) The attendants are so nice and helpful too- they really want you to win!

Super fun and engaging!! Def recommend coming with friends!

So fun! My family and kids had a blast here and it's cheaper in terms of tokens. You get 22 tokens for $10. If anything, come here first and you can win a lot more items at this claw machine place.

This place is so fun! It's very family friendly and for all ages. The staff here are always friendly. Sarah and Ryan are always very nice and are always willing to help with rearranging the plushies in the machine or exchanging them. The claw machines are very easy to use too! I usually come once a week and win a few plushies to bring home. 10/10 :)

Had such a fun time! Claw games with great prizes, they rotated several times in the time i was there. Alvaro and cassandra were so friendly and helpful!

Great store, clear and really funny. I have played many time here. Best service

Came to visit after eating ramen in the plaza. I usually dislike these kind of stores cause I know it's just a money grab but you actually can win tons of super cute plushies. My toddler had a blast. Workers are friendly especially when some of the claw machines were messing up. Super cute store, very friendly. Highly recommend everyone?s a winner!

Wonderful experience as always . Friendly staffs. Great selection of games/toys.

Extremely Awesome. Their variety is very good and kept me entertained for a long time. ??

Love the vibe, great prizes all around. Had a blast and was able to win a prize. We will be back and bring friends.

We took our son here for his birthday celebration and the staff was wonderful! He was super happy with the plushies that he won. The place was very clean and the environment was inviting also.

The best fun for my kuromi loving child. She had a blast

I pay 35 and got 9 plushies Trade it for a Monsters Blind Box, what i receive was a fake version of the blind box? Seriously?? The color was way off and the place looks very bad. Plus the material looks nothing like the original! Are we a joke to you? The last video is my real one

We went to this one second and I'm glad we did. It's not as crowded and way more machine and I spent about 20$ the same amount and won about five plushies. Staff were nice as well thanks for a great day!

Awesome place for the kids and it's a 100% chance you will win something !??

I loved how we could switch our prizes for other things especially when they were so packed we couldn't move! Customer service is amazing, I come so often but definitely worth the wait! :)

Such a fun place! Very easy to get a bagful of goodies!

Came as a family and everyone had a good time spent $10 and got a total of 3 plushies.

A very pretty place with a nice vibe. The prize options are all very good and it's well priced for the tokens. Definitely will be coming here again!

Great place to play and have fun! The claw machine are lots of fun and easy to play.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
