Spent $10 didn't win anything it attentionally drops everything it picks up. That's crazy never have i played a claw game that drops everything. When I asked the man behind the counter why all their machines keep dropping all the plushys. He said it's set up like that only at a certain time of the day you will win. And then laughed at me and said thanks for playing...?????? Ok please don't go to this place you are being cheated here.
They have about a dozen claw machines with soft, high quality plushies and stuffed animals. Unlike claw machines at a typical arcade, these machines felt like they had grip and you actually can win the prizes. We played for about 15 minutes and won 6 little animals. You can trade up for larger prizes behind the desk, but the kids liked the small ones so much, they wanted to keep them. They also sell snacks, and have a little activity table for little kids that don't want to play. Lots of fun, and we will de
NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN, HUGE RIP OFF. No wonder no one was here when my daughter and I came, everyone is figuring out its a rip off to play here. The claw hits hard when it retracts, which knocks whatever you caught with the claw off. I told the guy at the counter and then he says "the weight of the toys could be too heavy". I'm looking at him like "oh cool not only does the claw bang against the machine to knock toys out of the claw but now you guys are using toys too heavy for the claw to pick up" RIP O
We had a good time and everyone got a prize.
Very nice friendly people. Easy to win prizes!
Most obvious money laundry front I have seen lol.
Good service and awesome prices
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.”
