Customer Reviews

Absolutely loved this place! The vibes were so cute and the staff so friendly. Greeted with smiles when we walked in. There were many claw machines to choose from and so many plushy/collectible options. Tony went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Will definitely come back in the future.

My friends and I have come a couple of times before but today was extra special as Cathy was a super sweet help! She was super friendly and explained how to play the games, while also being attentive to whatever we needed. Cathy is such a gem, definitely will recommend this place to anyone I know! <3

Mirai was wonderful! So many options of machines and prizes! Loved the traditional feel of this Gatchapon place and happy another one opened up where I didn't have to go into a mall to enjoy it with my son. Also Ella was an amazing host!!

I love coming to this place! The staff is always l friendly and welcoming and there's always a large variety to win :) Ella did a great job with explaining everything to me and was so sweet! Would definitely come again

Reuben was great, he's such an incredible and kind employee! 10 out of 10 place. It's so much fun and all the employees are so friendly and helpful. I def recommend coming here with friends or a cute date night!

Avery was wonderful and saved my life. He told me i could have his lamborghini and he introduced me to my future wife. He has vowed to deliver our future child and I am forever grateful ????

Some of the best model kit selection can absolutely be found here as well as a very knowledgeable staff about the machines and prizes! Yixin is very welcoming and his excitement is incredibly contagious once you're in the building~?

Avery was soooo nice! Explained everything to me! Ella and the other girls were also so sweet! I will definitely be returning! What a fun place!

So much fun, you'll definitely come out with something. Workers are amazing especially Victoria and Kaylee!! They're awesome and so nice and have the best customer service. Definitely say hello to them if you can!! ????

The employees are genuinely so nice. I was worried there would be a line but there was none! No machines had waits either. Staff would give out free plays and demonstrate occasionally. The prices are not bad either! I won every small claw machines after at most two tries. And the shop was well stocked with good prices too!! Highly recommend, so happy to see a place like this run by genuinely great people who are happy to be there and happy to help.

Love this spot. The workers are great and interactive based on the customer's needs. The prizes are great and I like the idea of the star system. Mina was awesome!!! Explained each machine with ease!

Doan was super helpful with me and my wife! We were able to obtain the black card super quickly with her help and advice. We absolutely love this spot and always come every other weekend. Definitely a staple to our weekend plans. My wife hopes that more of the Lulu the piggy?s will be in stock soon and we hope the Pok?mon cards stay there forever too. Thank you Mirai!

First time here! Mina and Emma have been great. Couldn't catch everyone's names ?? but Saturday afternoon crew goes hard ????

Thanks to Sissy for helping my poor soul :?) 5/5 EDIT: leaving home with a Big Boy Byakuya! Super fun experience haha. Got my hearting pumping

Love coming here! Its our favorite place to have family fun! Avery and ella go above and beyond in their customer service! We have won so many times! Come out and check this place out. So many sonny angles and labubus

Love claw machines? Perfect place to win some collectibles. Cathy was really nice! Update: Came again and won a Lisa Lightstick. Tony cheered me on and gave me luck.

Place is super fun, but staff makes it even better experience. Thank you Lucas and Victoria for taking care of us and making sure we had a great time. My family will definitely be back.

Yixin helped me a lot with learning about how things here work and helped me pick out a gundam. He knows a lot about the various models and about the different grades. This place is awesome and I have always wanted to visit this kind of place I've seen in Japan. But now it's local

My experience at this location was not great unfortunately. We paid $10 for 24 credits which was enough to do 'one' claw grab and lose. After that there was 'insufficient' funds for 'every' other game in the entire building. I will say the machines are pretty and the prizes seem very cool, however, I have been to several gatcha games abroad and this experience is not quite the same. Lastly, I have been a local guide for a very long time and I'm a bit confused how a new establishment has got 2k reviews in

Super fun!!!! Won something almost every time and had a blast doing it. The staff was super helpful and nice. Shout out to Averey for being super awesome ??????

This place is amazing. Dorothy and the rest of the crew are excellent and work efficient. Great customer service and the games are fun!! 10/10!

Mirai is such a cool place to hang out and win some pretty cool stuff! AJ helped us out a lot while we were here! Such a fun experience!!

I adore this arcade! Such a fun activity for all ages and amazing prizes. Won multiple blind boxes on my first time :) Highly recommend! Mina and Yixin are so sweet.

We spoke to Ella, and she was amazing. She gave us extra points and I thought that was very sweet. We came back a second time because the games here are so addicting. I highly recommend coming with friends and/or family. I won a labubu and I love it so much! :)

This place is so addicting! They had the CUTEST plushies and figures, I could literally spend hours here. If you're looking for a fun place for a date, to hang out with friends, or just somewhere to pass the time while having fun, I highly recommend stopping by!

Amazing place! Such a cool selection of surprises!!! Averey was amazing and helpful! Def stop here if you're in Orlando!

The place was cute everyone was very nice but I won't be returning there was a family in front of me playing one of the claw machines trying to win a labubu and they tried a couple times and won then the next person played and won when it was my turn they told me I couldn't play because too many people have won labubus recently so I have to wait but they wouldn't tell me how long. So I drove 40min for nothing couldn't play the one machine I wanted to play and a lot of the claw machines were empty. Again eve

I love mirai! Felipe and Sophie were some of the nicest workers and made the games even more fun to play! Will definitely be coming back :)

My friend and i went and it was super fun! The cashier was super informative and William was really kind and explained some of the more intricate games to us! It was worth the money , especially in the prizes they have, and We are 100% coming back soon!

Having a great time at Mirai playing some claw games with my daughter! Averey helped us out with moving some items that got stuck by the claw machine and helped us get a claw win on our next move! Will be coming by again

Half of the machines were empty, and the employees just ignored us when we walked in. Edit: Gave this place another try after a week to see if maybe they were just low on stock, and it's the same thing. The employees actually greeted us this time at least :/ Far too much focus on stocking high dollar figures and graded pokemon cards that they just sell to you instead of actually stocking the games, which is the reason you come. Last I checked, they aren't tariffing japan, where most of your products are f

Love this place!! Staff, is so nice! The places is so clean and friendly!! They will get all my money !!! Kenny and William are so helpful!!

Mirai is such an amazing place! The staff were very nice and greeted us when we walked in. There were a variety of items that could be won from all of the machines. I wanted to also recognize Averey for being patient and kind throughout this experience. He helped us a lot and I can't wait to go back!

Super happy I stopped by today! Staff was super kind, security at the door was well organized and I was able to get my moneys worth in blind boxes from popmart! I'm looking forward to coming by again. The staff was helpful with any questions we had and also whenever the claw machines would give us any issues they were really understanding. The pricing for credits is super reasonable too. I love this arcade!

Place is super cool and have amazing prizes. Music is fire and staff is super helpful and lovely. AJ was really cool and helped us out for when we had issues or won prizes. Definitely coming back again.

So fun !!! so easy to win and so many cute plushies , will def be back!!! Avery and Doan were lovely and so helpful !!!

Staff was so nice and literally gave us free plays to help get us the items. It's so worth the money. They make sure you don't walk out empty handed. As a college student, the price to play is so budget friendly. There are so many machines and everyone is always cheering each other on. Will be going back!

Mirai Arcade in Orlando is a delightful haven for fans of Japanese collectibles and arcade games.

The arcade offers a unique experience with its array of claw machines and blind boxes, providing endless fun and excitement. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both casual visitors and dedicated collectors. Whether you're aiming to w

AJ is the coolest! our first time and he hooked us up. will definitely be back!! :)

We drove over an hour to check this place out, and do not regret it! Everyone was super kind, very helpful with setting games if it fell too close to the glass, and it was heart warming seeing them hype up the little ones. It seems they're going to expand even more, and would love to make the trip again!

Averey was amazing! He's the goat! He made me and my girlfriend's first experience very fun, always made himself available whenever we needed help. We'll definitely come back again :)

This place is really cool and the staff are super nice. I appreciate any place that lets my dog Pepper in. The prices are very fair and it's a lot of fun. Lucas was super helpful and personable, explaining how some of the chance games worked.

I had a great experience thanks to Yixin. He went above and beyond to help me out and made the whole process so much easier. He was friendly, patient, and genuinely seemed to care about providing great service. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated and helpful?definitely made my day! Highly recommend this place, especially if you get a chance to work with him.

Mirai is absolutely incredible! So much fun and had some winners today! Also AJ was such an amazing help and the rest of the staff is great! Will definitely be coming back

So fun! Went to both the soft opening and grand opening and was able to get a bunch of sonny angel?s they have for purchase & in the games! The place was organized, clean, and the staff were all super friendly and helpful with any and all questions. An employee even gave me a free play & did rock/paper/scissors with me for the plushie from seeing me struggle on a machine so much! The grand opening was super organized and they are communicative about restocks when necessary.

Went for the first time today. Got 80 credits and was able to win myself a prize. All of the workers (especially AJ) were super helpful and around to answer any questions.

The staff was so kind and we won a lot of prizes! This group really deserves the business and I hope they succeed. Definitely support them if you can! ??

They have fake labubus in the claw machines that we spent well over 100 dollars trying to win on vacation! See photos the QR code is fake and registers back to pop beans! This place is a scam! You cannot send an email it returns as invalid. They do not answer the phone and voicemail is full! Go to GOTCHA their labubus are real. This place is a joke! I have disputed all charges on my card due to false advertisement!

Had such a fun experience!! Isaack was so much help, my sister and I both won have a seat labubus :))

Amazing place! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Easy wins!

This place is so awesome! So fun! A lot of chances to win. Good vibes too ?? Isaack is the man and was super helpful!

AJ is the definition of quality service. Do yourself a favor and come into Mirai not just for the immense fun you will undoubtedly have, but for the service you will get from everyone, but AJ especially.

Averey is the goat. He fixed my claw and I was able to win a Pok?mon pack! The hospitality is like none other. Truly a great experience!

Mirai Arcade is a fantastic spot with a great mix of classic and new games. Victoria and the staff are so friendly, the machines are well-kept, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you're a casual gamer or hardcore, it's a perfect break from the theme parks. Highly recommended!

Great engagement and service to patrons. Very friendly and overall attentive to customer needs and support for games. Associate Yixin went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed

Today was my first time coming to the Mirai gacha store and I had a wonderful time! Averey the worker was very kind and helpful, so we're the other workers too! The store has a very kind and friendly atmosphere, I will definitely come here again!

Super fun time at Mirai Arcade with friends! Definitely a must visit if you're in the area and love Labubus, blind boxes and gashapon! Averey was awesome and really came through for us! Definitely will come back!

Isaack was incredible! From the moment we came in he took great care of us friendly, quick, and always checking in at just the right time. His positive energy made our visit even better. You can tell he really cares about his guests. We'll definitely come again.

Had an amazing time at Mirai Arcade in Orlando! Great selection of games and a super fun atmosphere. Big shoutout to Mina, who made the experience even better. She was super friendly, helpful, and really made us feel welcome. If you're in the area, definitely check it out ? and say hi to Mina!

We came here with some friends not expecting a whole bunch but we had a bunch of fun and enjoyed a bunch. We were able to play and win actual prizes. AJ was assisting us if we needed any help and was super kind to readjust machines and prizes if it wasn't attainable.

Went to the gatchapons in the back and won some cute little pokemon figures! Mina was so kind and helped me learn how to use different macgines at the arcade. Love the vibe and prizes available.

Super cute place! Staff was very friendly and helpful. A lot better chances of winning / more worth the money than Gatcha!

GREAT PLACE! Mina was so nice and helpful! She was very attentive and super nice and funny! Love the environment and the goodies!!! :)

Mina was very helpful with my nieces! They adore her and she was very sweet with them getting them their prizes!

The employees are very nice and considerate. Ella gave us a run down of the place! It's a very nice place if you really enjoy collecting blind boxes and gachapon! There are also different claw machines and games, it's quite fun :)

We love coming to Mirai arcade so much and today was no different! My friends and I came in ready to play games for my birthday and were greeted by the wonderful and kind Cathy! She was truly a gem and helped us better understand the games and how to win! We walked out with so many goodies thanks to her! Can't wait to come back and have an amazing time again!

The atmosphere was super nice and the plushies and blind boxes were adorable. Plus the employees were very helpful, especially Quincy. I highly recommend it!

Tony at Mirai was the best! He helped us out twice picking out which Sonny angel hipper we wanted from the claw machine! Go to tony when you visit!

Super fun spot in waterford! Prices are decent and staff is helpful! And they have chiikawa! Thank you issac

This was my first time here and the staff was very nice. AJ gave a great walk through on the games. Great experience!

Super cool spot right in Waterford Lakes My family and I enjoy playing claw machines, if you stop by ask for Averey, he explains games very well and is incredibly kind. We will definitely be back ??

AJ was the best! Definitely coming back, the place is so cute!

Very nice place and very nice staff. The games are very fair in difficulty and there are really nice prizes if you are an anime fan.

I love the atmosphere of this arcade. It's been the reason I've started to frequent Waterford Lakes again after so many years. My man Lucas and Isaac were real helpful when it came to introducing my friend when I brought him for the first time and Doan was so helpful when it came to making sure our visit was great!! I'd definitely like to keep coming back.

Had sm fun today! Left with a couple of cute finds:)! thank you to Averey and Ella for helping us!

My friends and I have been wanting to come to Mirai since we first heard of its opening. We finally planned a day to try it out, and wow!!! It was such an amazing experience! The prices were great for a fun afternoon?we did the $35 option, spent about an hour there, and luck was on our side! We won so many cute stuffed animals and had a blast doing so. Everyone who worked there was great, but Yixin truly went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. From the moment he came up to us, his energy, fr

I had a great time here!! I got this in ONE play!! Also AJ was very kind and allowed us an extra play. Definitely come here!!

Came back in February with a group of friends and we had a blast. Visited today and their selection of merchandise is smaller, and the average price of each crane game SKYROCKETED. Spent less money last time and had a better experience than this time around. Staff were still nice and attentive but I can't see myself coming back with how expensive the games are now.

Been waiting for this place to open! Scored big time! Tony was helpful and encouraging! The rest of the staff was friendly and amazing as well.????

Dorothy is so hot and sexy and nice and wonderful and helpful. Very nice and fun place. Fun friendly vibes!!

The Mirai Arcade has an amazing interior and very clean throughout the whole place. All the staff are very patient and good sports. They really go beyond customer satisfaction espiecally Ella!

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025!

Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
