A family favorite, plushies are very achievable with a cute variety to choose from, friendly and helpful staff.They have something for every age, you can trade your winnings in for larger prizes if you wish making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.
My kids and I LOVED this place! The plushies are very achievable and we had a blast. I don't remember her name, but the woman working on march 20th at around 5pm was an absolute gem of a person. We definitely plan to come back!
We had an amazing time at Crane Games! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind to my children, making the experience even more enjoyable. My kids have been talking about it nonstop since we left yesterday, and they can't wait to go back. It's definitely a place we'll be visiting again soon! Highly recommend!
My wife and I stopped by Crane Games on a fun date night, and we had an absolute blast! The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. Their enthusiasm really added to the experience. The pricing was fair, and unlike some claw machines that feel impossible to win, we both walked away with multiple adorable plushies! The variety of prizes and well-maintained machines made the evening even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a fun and rewarding arca
We took our 3 kids here today and had a blast! The kids all won a lot, with my middle daughter winning a whole bag of plushies! You can trade your winnings in for larger prizes if you wish. The staff was very friendly, the place was clean, and it was a really fun experience for all. We'll certainly be back!
This was an absolute blast! We each walked away with 4 plushies because in all honesty, they want you to win! If you're struggling, let them know and they will help!
This crane toy place is such a blast! The machines are well-stocked with cute and fun prizes, and they're not rigged like some other places. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is super clean and kid-friendly. Whether you're just playing for fun or trying to win something specific, it's easy to get hooked. Great spot for kids and adults alike! Hillary was a great help and was so kind and informative. We will definitely be back just because of her! :)
We stopped by during break since we are in the Aurora area. Once walking in, we noticed all the variety of crane games they had to offer. From all the cute plushies to keychains to coin pouches they had something for every ages. The facility is clean with very friendly staff that helps you win games through out your visit. We left there with so many cute plushies with the options to trade up to get something bigger.
Best claw machine place I've ever been to! The machines are fair, the staff is amazing, and the plushies are super cute. You can tell they really care about providing a fun and honest experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good challenge and quality prizes!
My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast here! The claw machines were super fun, with a great variety of prizes to go after. Some were trickier than others, but that just made the wins even more exciting! The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and we ended up spending way more time than we expected because we were having so much fun. Definitely a great date night spot for some nostalgic arcade fun!
There was plenty of free parking in front of the place. It was clean. The staff was nice and helpful. The prices were cheap. We spent about $25 each and we took home about 8 cute stuffed animals. There were 4 of us. The staff will move the stuff inside the claw machine so you can get it easily if you ask them. It's a fun time for kids of all ages. Good luck!
I went here about a month ago with my gf, and it was such a cute, fun, exciting, and engaging date!! The staff is incredibly friendly. I appreciate how the staff walks around switching up the items inside the claw machines. It makes the game experience feel new, and it gives the player a fair shot at winning a plushy. We will definitely be back to this location, and we are excited to check out their other location as well!!
We noticed this place by chance so we stopped in! For $20 we had a really great time and won a bunch of different toys! This would be a super cute date activity or a fun treat for kids!
SUPER FUN!! The plushies are incredible in quality, and I love their trade in system. Also very easy machines to use!!! Thx!!
10/10 recommend Crane Games. For a family day or date night. It was our first time there and it was so much fun. The staff was more than amazing, they were all so kind & friendly. they helped the kids win. They kept the machines full and fluffed. Over all it was a great experience. We'll definitely be going back.
So much fun. The staff will rearrange the toys so you can easily win. We came because we heard they had Labubus that you could win - we spent some money but came home with two (one, we traded up 20 toys for a box) and another where I luckily grabbed a box from the crane! A great place to spin some quality time with my daughter on Father?s Day. Staff are super sweet.
Such a cute crane game place! Yes you can actually win plushies and they have a cool system where you can trade in plushies for bigger ones! Such sweet staff and a fun time!
Omg!!!!!! My family and I had so much fun! We went a little late and close to closing but Alison was so amazing!! Her customer service and attentiveness was on point, she didn't rush us at all and made us feel so welcomed! We only had 30 min to play and came out with 20 amazing plushes and 1 keychain. We are definitely making Crane games a monthly outing for our family!
This is the best arcade ever! They have really good plushies and the staff is super friendly. I took my friends from Virginia and they love it! This place is amazing. Will def be back!
This arcade is the perfect place to have fun and win some great prizes. The staff is incredibly helpful and will provide you with all the support you need to improve your chances of winning. The atmosphere is bright and family-friendly, making it a great place for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, the cost of playing is very affordable considering the number of prizes you can win.
The young lady who worked last night (Friday) was absolutely amazing! She was engaging with all the kids and gave tips on how to get the plushies. I regret not asking her name as she was so amazing? we will be coming back! A fun place to go before or after dinner with your kid(s)!
Just found out about this place! 10/10 recommend!! Staff is super friendly??
Lots of cute plushies to choose from and we were actually able to win quite a number of plushies despite it being our first time. Staff were super friendly and easy going!
We love crane games!! All the machines have high quality stuffies and are win-able. The trade ups are also awesome!! If you have a little one with you, the staff will help stack the toys inside to make it easier for them to win. This place is the best and the staff is so sweet. Highly recommend!!
We had so much fun the people are so nice they will always help you.
The staff here are amazing! I brought my mother in law here to play, she has stage 4 brain cancer and was struggling to win. The staff came right over and helped relocate some stuffed animals so that she was able to grab them easier as she was struggling on her own. Will definitely come back!
We traveled to Japan this last summer and now we're jonesing to go back after visiting the Aurora location! The mini claws were fun and just not something you see everyday. It's cool how you can trade up for bigger items or crane coins to bank your wins for a future cash-in. The staff was super helpful and friendly, even helping to ?win? a prize if needed, great for the little ones.
Amy was amazing so nice and helpful!! We had so much fun getting toys!
Really enjoyed this place, the two girls Amy and Hillary welcomed us in with open arms and gave us assistance whenever we asked. Amy also didnt hesitate to help anyone, especially the kids and also had a beautiful smile when doing so.
This is a very good and enjoyable place. The employees were nice and made sure that you could win something. Claw machines had many items and the prizes were very achievable. There was also a variety to choose from and the trading prizes were very accurate for what they are worth. I would definitely recommend.
I had a great time here! The atmosphere and people were so inviting! All the games were so fun to try for and the upgrades all looked good to trade for. It's a great place to spend some time with friends and family!
Took our son here for his 6th birthday. Bright colorful store. $10 for 10 tokens. Staff is very friendly and tries to help people win prizes. Very fun place!
You know how your favorite game at the arcade is always the claw machine? This is your place. I'm Definitely coming back and bringing all my friends!!! Alex was super awesome, whoever hired this guy needs to appreciate his energy because it's a big factor in us having fun, wanting to come back and leave a genuine good review. I love that this place, it seems the staff wants you to have a fun time. What a fun place. Thank you!!!
Our boys love Crane Games!! And they have cute dolls that change so often! Ryan was so nice to us and took care of us. Thank you!
This place is amazing! My kids love claw machines but typically walk away with nothing. So naturally I was skeptical to come to a place with just claw machines. I'm not skeptical anymore! My little ones had great success and a fantastic time. It was Pok?mon palooza. The staff was incredible. We will be back!
We absolutely loved this place! The people working were SO kind!! They helped both of my kids win prizes and were just the sweetest! It's affordable too. We did the $20 for 23 tokens option and my kids had a blast! We can't wait to go back and support this sweet business!!
This is legit my favorite place to have a fun time. The staff is always so helpful and the prizes are not too hard to win! Tonight Jenny and Amy were absolutely rockstars!
Super fun place to take kids! Their toys are quality toys and they're constantly changing it up. My adult husband begs us to drive from the Springs to come here.
These plush toys look like they came from the dirty carnival. The claws drop the animals even with a perfect grab. It's really run down and not as advertised. Don't waste your time or money. We watched multiple people walk in and out within five minutes with nothing and looked so disappointed realizing the store is not as presented online
Very impressed! Staff are really nice and will assist to make sure you have fun! I'm going home with a huge bag of plushies!
This place is so much fun! The employees are super helpful and incredibly nice. We don't live close but we'll be back!
Amazing crane surprises for my nine year old daughter and my 17 year old enjoyed them as well! The woman working was so helpful and kind!
Teresa was absolutely amazing! She was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. You can tell she really cares about her customers and takes the time to explain everything clearly. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. If you ever go to Crane Cames, definitely ask for Teresa?she's the best!
Jillian was beyond amazing. This place is FUN and FAIR!!! Thanks to Jillian's kindness and ability to make it fun we spent close to 90+ dollars and BOY DID WE MAKE OUT!!!! (We won even more after this picture!!! If you ask politely they will reposition for you so you have a fair chance!) We played crane games in Akihabara, Japan and this felt wonderful and nostalgic of the atmosphere of fun and skill. We will be back!!!
It's okay if you don't go on the weekend! We came here for the first time on a weekday (Thursday I believe), and it was fun we left with two whole bags for $20! Then had to come again the week after that when my kiddo was on spring break. Then we went again today (saturday) and we spent $50 and literally left with 3 plushies. There were people also there complaining about the price and the claw machine dropping plushie even though it was a perfect grab. They seem to fling them back as soon as you get to the
Came here today with my friends, and Y and Ryan were so nice! They were super helpful and were just overall super sweet:)
Super fun! We came with my family family and the kids had a blast! Once so many cool toys will definitely be back! Thank you so much!
Love this place. They first opened And only one machine cost one token very affordable. A little update about this place. I asked for a job to work and a employee named Tien got mad at me because I was trying to get a picture In my head about the manger so I could have a image about what she or he looks like so when I see I them could ask for a job. After that experience when he got mad at me. I'm not going back after That experience but it's affordable if you like Crane games
My kiddos (3, 5, and 16 y/o) all love this place! Everyone always leaves with something and they have lots of cute prizes that have been different every time we come.
This place is amazing! I could spend hours here. It's now my favorite place to go. Will definitely come back!
My gf and I had so much! We paid $20 for 23 tokens and each play is 1 token! We walked out with over 5 plushies! And the employees are so helpful to help you win!
This place is fantastic! We took our 2 1/2 year old here to play games. It was such a wonderful experience for him and also for my dad and myself. The crane games here work very well! My son ended up getting enough stuffed animals to trade in for a different stuffy at the front desk. There is also a snack vending machine and several vending machines in the middle that have various other prizes. The lady gave us a bag to hold all of our stuffies in. She was so kind and thoughtful to our little one. I wish we
First time at this location and it was not fun. The staff was nice upon arrival but did not walk around or fluff up machines for us and majority of plushies were stuffed down into the machine. Also the trade in amounts for a Labubu are more at this location compared to their location in Thornton. We went to the other location in Thornton and it was 100 times better.
Great little place to bring the family! It's small enough you can all enjoy it together but big enough you can still have fun! Definitely will Come back!
Le-an and Julie are absolutely amazing! They showed us tricks on how to play. Absolutely amazing customer service. Inside the shop is beautiful nice and clean with lots of variety of prizes to get. Great for date nights! Will come back again!
responsive claw machines and cool prize restocks. It's satisfying to actually win something after a few trie great for both kids and adults!! Hillary, Allison and Jenny are super nice 10/10
Didn't think we would win as much as we did! The people who work here are super friendly and helpful, they're able to move items around to help you out!
Great place. It's a small location but didn't feel crowded. Token prices are reasonable, with options as low as $10. We spent $50 total and left with 6 prizes, but easily could have gotten more. They also offer trade in options for bigger prizes, and the staff was incredibly nice.
Awesome place to get dolls, and even has a level up program to get large ones! Kids live coming here and it's a great environment with friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!
Crane Games worked with us to host our 7yo's birthday party, and it was an absolute HIT! Kids loved it, parents loved it, we loved it! They opened early for us so that we would have the whole place to ourselves, they let us bring in our own table, food and cake (which is really important since our daughter has food allergies and the big indoor playgrounds don't allow that!). I'll admit that it's pretty hard to win the toys, but the staff were really helpful and would help out if kids were having a hard time
Me and my kids love the games here and have come back many times! Shoutout to Allison, one of the employees - she gave my kids some great tips and helped them win a plushie each, which they loved.
They had so many types of plushies and the idea of letting us trade in was really cool and smart Here's a photo
Stopped here for a fun day before our son had surgery at children's hospital the next day. We all left so happy and pleased with our bag full of stuffies! Amazing customer service and all around great vibes.
My wife took the kids and I there. I felt like I had walked into an Asian country or something. It was cool. The guy who was managing it at the time was cool. Never been to a place like that. My kids loved it.
What an amazing spot in Colorado!!! Lots of claw machines!!!! So much toys!!! staff is beyond amazing!!! Highly recommended and fun spot for family/friends/dates!!! You will enjoy!!!
Jenni and Hoai were absolutely amazing. They seen that I was struggling and offered to help. (Which is something you usually don't hear) we were welcomed and with a very kind walkthrough of the way that the location works. No stress and they are there to help you have fun!!
Such a fun time :)! Friendly staff and a lot of variety of plushies! And you can trade in smaller ones for bigger ones :)!
This place was awesome!! There's a wide variety of games with different plushes. I highly recommend for kids. The staff wants you to win! If your kids are struggling the friendly staff will open the machine and reorganize the plushes making them easier to win for your child! We walked away with 7 plushes!!
This place is so much fun. The atmosphere is so fun and we enjoy ourselves every time we come. No amount of tokens is too many when we have a mission. Quality toys and quality fun :)
BEST PLACE EVER!!! So affordable and fun even for adults lol. I come here every time I visit!
Great place for families and lies of fun! Allison was amazing ??
We ended up seeing someone share their story about this place. We took our kids today and it definitely didn't disappoint. Experience for yourself why everyone leaves happy out the door!! We'll come back time and time again!
Had a blast. I would definitely recommend for the family!
Smaller than I expected and narrow making it hard to move around. Games are packed into a tight space. Not a good place for adults to relax while kids play. Kids blew through the coins and the "fun"? was over in 15 minutes. Not a place for a birthday party or similar. Staff were friendly and the space was clean but I may as well have handed a business $100 and just walked back out. Each kid got two small prizes and there wasn't the excitement of the play or win like you might have at other arcades. W
We were not sure how fun a crane-only arcade would be but BOY were we surprised! We came in because we heard they carry Labubu dolls for prizes. We found out you have to trade 15-20 crane doll wins in for a Labubu (depending on the kind). Within 15 minutes we became ABSOLUTELY ADDICTED to winning enough for a Labubu! We ended up with 16 crane toy wins and 1 special chip that came with the $50 pack token bundle. We traded 15 in for a Timber Workshop plush Labubu (normally only found at the Pop Land amusement
Crane Games is by far the best claw machine place in the Aurora area. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. The prizes are all great quality as well as adorable. The overall environment of this place is just so refreshing and relaxing, the perfect place to go after or on break from work to just relax and play some crane games!! - Sunni
Mypartner and I used to come here 2-3 times per week & spend $300-$500 dollars per visit. Which was worth it since they used to have good prizes & the games were playable. Unfortunately, the place is going downhill like it's in a race for the bottom. The machines are left empty, the prize table is left empty & the machines are unplayable. We used to leave with 2-4 stuffed full bags, but today, I had to give up entirely & my partner was able to grab 3 without help and then failed to get 3 times with help. T
We came to have some fun and hillary did the experience so great. I highly recommend this place.
I came here with my friends I had such a blast. Jenny and Amy were so sweet and helpful I absolutely loved them 10/10 experience!!! <3
This place is so fun! The staff was amazing in helping my 3 kids have a great time. Super helpful kind and willing to help them get stuffies when they had a hard time. We will be back. If you're on a budget you will still have fun and walk away with prizes. Thanks to the great staff.
They are amazing!! So friendly and sweet! My kids love it here and we will come back many times!
Clean, exciting, and affordable. Took advantage of the free tokens in October. Staff were super cool. Will be back!
Lovely place to hang out with your friends. Staffs are friendly and it's absolutely a worthy experience?
Honestly the best place for adults and kids! The staff is always so fun and friendly and makes the experience so easy! A great date night!
This place was amazing!! I had so much fun playing the games with my friend; the staff are very kind and will move the plushies if you are having a particularly difficult time. 10/10 highly recommend.
This place is amazing. It's affordable with lots of options to win prizes. Plus, they help you! The staff are very helpful and friendly. And the atmosphere is peaceful and fun.
Friendly staff! Easy to get the stuffed dolls and fun experience.
We checked this place out this weekend and it truly felt like we were back at Akihabara in Japan. Cranes were pulling and the staff were super attentive. Cannot wait to go back and even check out their other location in Thornton!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
