I've been to a lot of claw machine places, and this is by far the top one on my list! The staff are incredibly helpful and kind, and they genuinely cheer you on and help you win. The place is spacious and has a huge variety of plushies to choose from. The plushies are also good quality which I appreciate. I will definitely be back! If you're ever in the area, definitely stop by--you won't regret it!

Brought my sister's two kids to Chibi Claw in Garden Grove, and we had a really good time. Ron and Nguyen were awesome. They were friendly, patient, and took the time to help the kids instead of just standing behind the counter. They gave them a few tips on the machines, cheered them on, and really made the whole experience fun. The kids left feeling like they won, and honestly, that's what made the day. It's nice to see employees who actually care about making sure everyone has a good time. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again, Ron and Nguyen!

Dozens of neatly arranged stuffies in claw machines

Haiku: Chibi Claws Assorted stuffies Friendly and helpful workers Neatly arranged friends. --- We stumbled across this claw machine store while at Great Wolf Lodge (it's literally right next door). We've come a couple of times and both were top experiences. This place has really cute animal stuffies like Sanrio characters, Pokémon, Kpop Demon Hunters, and other adorable and endearing animals. What sets this spot apart from other stuffed animals gaming centers is that the staff is phenomenally friendly and helpful. They are constantly arranging the animals into neat rows for easier claw grabbing. I was having a difficult time grabbing an adorable croissant Jellycat-dupe, so the staff helped stack it higher for me to have a better chance at grabbing it. It worked! The coins are $1 per coin, but the machines here seem to be easier with better chances at securing a "strong claw grab." Also, the staff will help you upon request. We always leave with a bag stuffed with stuffies! There's also a section of the store where you can upgrade your stuffies by trading only day-of grabs. This is the perfect spot to bring the kiddos for a casual birthday outing. They don't have event space for rent, but you can bring your kid & friends and buy their tokens. They will go wild and have THE BEST TIME! Happy grabbing!

This is such a fun place, I love how they rotate the stuff animals out so it's always new and fresh. Each machine costs $1 to play, and you need to exchange your money for Chibi Tokens. You can ask one of the workers to move the stuff plushies for you to make it easier to pick-up. They also can coach you on how to win. We've won a ton of plushies and our collection keeps piling up. If you get enough, they give you a complimentary free bag! You could exchange (current) plushies the day you win them for bigger ones at the front. Shout out to one of the workers, Jordy! Excellent customer service, looks like he loves what he does and he just radiates positive energy. Thanks again for all you do, Jordy!

Came here on 8/29 and this place is great, the workers are very helpful, funny and friendly. Each machine is one token which is way better compared to other places in the area. It's $1 per token but if you spend more they give extra tokens. They also have a reward program where you can save your trade ins for your next visit. I traded 25 plushies for the big cyndaquil and the quality of the bigger pluses are excellent. Will be coming back for the other big plushies.

Mofusand! Hard to get but eventually got one

I've been here three times and I LOVE IT! Super friendly staff who help you figure out how to win and also help place items in a way for you to grab them if requested. 1 credit per machine which is great because your money can go further. Trade ups available but only on same visit. Only reason why it's 4 stars is that it can vary how much you can win depending on the types of stuffies (heavier harder to win) and their positioning in the machine. I like the challenge of figuring it out though. It's in a mini mall complex so free parking.

Been to a ton of claw game spots, and this one is definitely fair. Not my biggest haul, but we spent $20 and walked away with two prizes. The employees are super cool--they go around adjusting the plushies in positions that make them winnable. All the crane strengths felt fair, with no sudden drops at the end, and every game was just $1 (1 token), which is awesome. We ended up snagging Steve from Minecraft and a capybara. Fun times!

Thuy N.

My friends and I had so much fun at Chibi Claws and we won so many plushies. I even won enough plushies to trade for the big capybara , which costs 17 to trade and has high quality. The employees here are super friendly, and Jeff, one of the staff, keeps rearrange the plushy to help us win. I can't find any other claw shops that actually want you to win as many as you can like this place. They even show tips to help you win on most of the machines. We will definitely come back here cause "Chibi Claws is cheaper than therapy" when you need to relax or release stress. P/s: They also have new LABUBU and Demon Slayers character boxes in their machines!

Silen B.

This place is super cute and addicting. Each play is one coin ($1). They have lots of cute plushies options. It was our first time so we're not very good, but I noticed a lot of other people were winning quite a bit. The claws do not have good grip (typical) but the games are still winnable. The worker noticed we were trying quite a few times to win a prize for our young son and he was very nice and helpful. Our little boys loved it!

Irene N.

I've been here a only a couple times, but I've always had great experiences. They offer a variety of claw machines, all with plushies and even some with snacks! Most claw machine places fill their machines with ugly cheap toys that look like they were either made in the dark or purchased off Temu for a penny. However, this place has a bunch of cute plushies! LOADS of sanrio, such as Hello Kitty and Friends. I've even seen some Miffy and pokemon. They also offer trade ins, meaning you could trade in your smaller prizes for a big one. I've never had any bad experience here. Service was always good. I think one of the workers saw me struggling, so he came over and offered to rearrange the prizes for me so they were easier to grab. He even gave me advice on where I should aim to get the prize! Overall this is a great place for families or even a little date night event. Definitely would recommend everyone bring their kids and loved ones for some fun!

Sallie R.

If you love the excitement of challenging claw games, this spot is the place for you. We spotted this place after our night at Great Wolf Lodge. My kids loved the prizes we won from cute plush animals, pencil holders, candies, and even snacks. For $20 worth, we got plenty of prizes and big bangs for your bucks! So worth it! Staff were friendly and gave us hints on how to win. You also have the option to trade in your plush animals for bigger ones. Super fun entertainment for the whole family.

Annie M.

First time checking this place out and it was cool. We've been to Kawaii Klaw and this place was similar but had different plushies. They do exchanges if you want to trade the ones you just won for another they have behind their cash register. Just know that once you leave with your plushies you CANNOT go exchange or return due to a hygiene policy. They have a loyalty program if you know you'll be back for more claw fun.

Chibi Claws is super cute and they have a good amount of claw machines! I think they switch out the plushies often depending on the rate of how quick the plushies are won. It's about $1 per play. If there's any plushies you win but don't like, you can trade them in at the counter. I love seeing people win! I've seen Sanrio, capybara, Chiikawa and other plushies here, so there's a variety of options, I recommend checking out Chibi Claws if you're in the area! read more

I echo everyone else's sentiments on the owner.

Such a fun and exciting claw shop! Everything from the quality of the plushies to the kindness of their customer service was superb. Jeff, one of the workers, really went above and beyond. He helped reposition the prizes so we could more easily access it, I can't name another claw shop where they do this - they basically help you win so literally everyone had a bag full of plushies. Overall, such a fun place to go with friends and family, even solo! Can't wait to come back again - it's never ending fun read more

This place is really amazing. We came here on Valentine's Day with the family after some time at Nickel Nickel next door. We used 6 tokens total, with each token costing $1. My daughter got this nice good sized capybara stuffy after trying multiple times (she's 9). The person at the front was so nice and friendly. Everyone is a winner, by the looks of how well their bags were filled. We can't wait to come back! read more

Chibi Claws is by far a top claw machine arcade in OC! I wish there were more locations! (Irvine Spectrum or Outlets of Orange) great price for the amount of plushies you can win! The plushies are also of great quality! The trade ups are also a plus and you truly get a great bang for your buck! Service from the claw attendants are amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful alll the time. We comes here about 1x a month but will make it weekly after finding out they get new inventory weekly! We love Chibi Claws! read more

A fun claw machine store for both beginners and players. The arcade is quite well-maintained, with friendly owners/staff going around and ready to assist and provide way to enhance your experience here. I love the branding they did, putting their cute mascot up on each machine as well. The machines had a variety of plushies, and it was easy to navigate and find the arcade you want to try. There was a way to trade up for a bigger plush toy too. This was great way to wrap up the night walking from nickle games. read more

Fun time with the family. Each claw is $1 and depending on how many tokens you initially buy you are provided a few additional bonus tokens. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. They are also helpful if you are struggling to get a specific prize. The prizes are set up to help you win as opposed to most machines where the object is to make it look easy, but be difficult.

My kids really wanted to check out a claw machine and this was the first place that popped up. They had different varieties of plushes which was nice. The man working there was friendly and helped us by placing some of the plushes where we were able to get them. Although my kids only walked out with 3 each (hoping we won more) the staff there really helped us out and kids got what they wanted! Place was clean and when we got there it got busier as time went. read more

Yay claw machines! Lots of soft plushies available to try your look at. Very clean place, still quite new, cute branding everywhere. You can even ask a staff to help you reposition a plush. My one feedback is it's dark inside aside from all the machine lights so without the door being open, I would have thought the place was closed. It doesn't feel as welcoming as it could be. The room vibe doesn't match all the cute plushies. read more

One of my child is obsessed with claw machine so we decided to stop by. There is a lot of variety of games that they invented through claw machines and had a lot of different plushes. Ranging from pokemon , hello kitty , kirby and many more. I also like how everything was 1 token to play. And the claw machines are of high quality and lets the kids win. Ive been to other claw machine places where it was very hard for my kids to win. We left with 4 bags full of plushes and the kids enjoyed it. Thank you! read more

Best local claw machine in town! I love that you can trade in the plushies for credit to save and redeem a larger prize later. There's different stock every week and staff will reposition and help you win your prize. Don't be afraid to ask! There's also a five star reward system which pays out if you come often like me. You can also switch out any plushie in that same machine. I want to say the payout is every 4-5 tries; but if you got skills, chances are, you can make it payout more. The type of plushie varies. It could be lookalike anime, copycat Pokémon, or original characters. Sometimes you might get official licensed merch too. read more

I wanted to write this review because we all had a such a good time. It was a small place but they made winning the claw machines so easily. It wasn't like those spots that would purposely rig you and take your money. You actually win here! They let you upgrade your plush toys as well here.

An honest review for my recent visit: Staff/service 5/5 - Very friendly, happy to help, attentive and kind Facility 5/5 - Clean, fair amount of machines, good variety of plushies and prizes Claw Machines 2/5 - They definitely stock their machines on the lower end so the threshold to lift and carry the plushy to the Dropbox is much harder. The claws are quite loose and drop once lifted, some didn't even manage to grip the prize. I've been to many claw machine places, especially ones that you trade up for prizes. Some of them stock their plushies well and have a higher win rate and sell by volume of returning customers and some are basically plushie slot machines with high threshold for payoffs and difficult win rates. This place seems to be the latter. Would I come back? Quite frankly, no, unless I was with friends who were visiting or really wanted to gamble. Ultimately I gave them 4/5 stars because i'm not going to heavily penalize their loose claws due to claw Machines all having some aspect of gambling in them. However, to win my repeat business, I expect a place to have moderately higher win rates (most consumers want to feel good about their purchase and I unfortunately did not). Generally repeat customers are created from being satisfied with their overall experience, as much as I appreciate their kind staff, I can't say the same about their pay off rates. read more

This is an awesome claw machine arcade that is just a five minute walk from The Great Wolf Lodge. They offer nice promotions and bonus coins for larger transactions and an opportunity to trade up for larger prizes. This place is located in a pretty busy and popular shopping center but there is usually plenty of parking in the large parking lot. The machines are clean and staff is very friendly. Highly recommend this for anyone in the area looking for a fun arcade with decent payouts on prizes. read more

I read the reviews before coming and there is definitely a reason this place deserves 5 stars. It was our first time coming here with our daughter and we had hopes to maybe win 1 or so for $20. The employee or owner, would walk around, watch us and make sure that we were actually winning. Like you know how other claw machine places purposely stuff the dolls so you can't win? This place is the opposite - he would go around and like place the doll for us and tell us where to aim so we could win. As soon as he came by and helped us, we won one immediately. We then proceeded to win like 4 more dollars for $20. And these are not cheap dolls. They have a winning formula here - I'm hoping they aren't losing money and I wish this place long and happy success. They made my daughter's day and we had such a blast. We will be coming back here whenever we are in the area (unfortunately, we are a little further out from here). But definitely made me come back to Yelp to write this review - great job. read more

Woot woot...We enjoyed like kidos...Such a great place to be and such a fun night! We got the best customer service. They were welcoming! You can pay for token/ with cash or card! I agree with the feedbacks about their machines because we kept some of them and it was so weird that the machine moved so firm that toy fell down!!! It wasnt satisfying feeling but it makes sense you are not there to win most of them! It was nice of them that they were offering to rotate them even though in some cases it didbt help but again it was good feeling to know they are there to make your experience great...The plushies were so cute and you were able to trade in before you walk out of the place! Atmosphere was great...People were excited, laughing some of them angry to not catching it some of them were happy! Overall it had a high energy and it was fun to be here and definitely we'll back!

They have a great variety, and the claw isn't weak, although it did take a few times on some machines to get a winning, I think that could be from the prize being a little heavy. Overall, I think the price is good a dollar per try, they had good music going on, a good amount of customers in there, even though it's in a mall that's slowly closing down.

This is located within the Westminster mall, on the second floor occupying a pretty large space. I came to this location because the Groupon I had only worked here and not at the Alhambra location. The worker at the location was nice and took care of my Groupon. She gave us a basket for our tokens. She mentioned that this is probably the largest Kawaii Klaws location out of all the another areas. There are easily 30+ different claw machines in this location. There was enough variety in plushies among the machines, but I wish they had more as there were a lot of commonalities among Sanrio and a lot of bunny inspired plushies. We left with 4 plushies on this visit, the staff working their was friendly and she said she loved my bf's and my energy which I thought was so lovely of her to mention...I asked her name but forgot but she was really sweet. If you're looking for a place to kill time and want to try and score some cute plushies this is the place!

If this is not the greatest arcade in Southern California, I don't know what is…read more They still use coins for their machines here, and they still print physical tickets that you can redeem for prizes. They have over 100 games, just as much as, if not more than, your local Chucke cheese. You can host parties or just come on a casual day and have a blast. It does get packed but is not crazy packed; it's still really fun. Price point is the best selling point of the arcade; you pay in nickels exactly what the name implies. Most games cost about 5 nickels at most, which is about a quarter per game. You can order quarters in bulk, 3, 5, 9, or 10$. It is a baggie filled with nickels for whatever price point you decide to buy. You can also request additional baggies to separate your coins between People or baggies for your tickets. Admission is about $2 per person to get in, but it is not expensive at all. With $20, the four of us spent a good 1 hour and 30 minutes having fun. We were also able to get some really cool prizes at the end. My kids loved it, and although it is a drive for us from the San Fernando Valley, we will be making this trip very often because it is so worth it. Highly recommend this arcade spot.

We…read moreslightly moved the machine to try to reach it, and instead of simply warning us or explaining the safety concern, we were kicked out. There was no warning, no signage, no posted rule, and no indication whatsoever that slightly moving a machine could result in being removed from the arcade. We were paying customers there with our children, enjoying our time, and the entire situation was handled extremely unprofessionally. What was unfair was being immediately asked to leave over something minor without any warning or clearly communicated policy. Parents, just be aware: you can be a paying customer with your children and still be kicked out without a warning over something you were never told was a rule. Ps: homegirl with the glasses and light brown curly hair had a rude attitude, unprofessional behavior, and the way she handled the situation resulted in extremely unfair treatment toward my family. Very disappointing experience.

There are some typical crazy bends and places you have to hit the ball to get to the hole. Also some structures you have to get into at some point.

It was definitely a lot smaller than I remembered now that I am an adult, but it was truly the perfect size theme park for toddlers. It's nice that pretty much everything is included, just a couple of things that cost extra, like food to feed the animals, souvenirs, arcade games, but mostly everything we wanted to check out was included. Our kids are 3 1/2 and 5 and pretty much enjoyed all the rides! The roller coaster is a little rough, but I think it just depends on your kid, since my younger one really enjoyed it. They have food available to buy in the center of the park and tables all around, making it really easy to just take a break to eat something. I like that everything is really close to each other, so you don't feel like you're walking around a maze to get around. I wouldn't even bother with a stroller because everything is so close to each other. The tickets are the same price for anyone above one year old. I do wish the kids tickets were a little bit cheaper, but other than that, I thought it was a pretty fair price, considering you'd probably pay the same amount for a similar type wristband for rides at a fair for example, and at least younger kids can ride all of these ones. You probably wouldn't be able to spend a whole day here because of the size but an afternoon or a morning is plenty, especially for this age range.

We had an absolute blast at Chibi Claws this weekend! From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff made us feel so welcomed. They even shared some fantastic tips that surprisingly helped us win a number of cute plushies -- they even have Sanrio! The setup is super convenient since they accept both cash and card (perfect for those of us who rarely carry cash). Each game costs just $1 per token, and we found the pricing to be quite reasonable. We also loved the option to trade in our plushies for larger ones, but we were so obsessed with our wins that we decided to keep them! What truly stood out was the quality of the plushies. They were so much better than what we've encountered at other claw arcades, and you can really tell they take pride in the selection. Plus, the ambiance is inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some friendly competition. Getting to Chibi Claws was a breeze, right off the 22 freeway, and we appreciated the free parking. They're open late, which is fantastic for those spontaneous night outings! This place is perfect for date nights, family outings, or just hanging out with friends. If you're looking for a fun and charming spot to enjoy some arcade action, definitely check out Chibi Claws! The combination of great vibes, high-quality prizes, and friendly service makes it a must-visit. Can't wait to go back! read more

Chibi Claws was such a fun stop for our Valentine's date night! My husband and I love claw machines, and this place did not disappoint. The machines were exciting, well-maintained, and had such a great variety of prizes. We saw everything from Pokémon, Sanrio, and capybara plushies to snacks, keychains, and even a cute Stitch & Angel Valentine's special, which was perfect for the occasion. The pricing was also pretty reasonable, which made it easy to keep playing without feeling like we were overspending. One thing we really appreciated was the thoughtful tips posted on each machine to help improve your chances -- such a helpful touch! The staff were also incredibly attentive and kind. They were quick to step in and offer assistance or adjustments, even without us having to ask, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Another great feature is that you can trade in your winnings toward larger prizes or different options, which adds a fun incentive to keep playing. Overall, Chibi Claws was such a cute and entertaining experience -- perfect for a date night or anyone who loves claw machines. We'll definitely be back! read more

I visited this claw machine store three times, and overall, it was a very disappointing experience. My first visit was amazing. The machines had decent claw strength, and the staff member was active, friendly, and helpful. They walked around, checked on customers, adjusted prize positions, and made sure people were not wasting too much money on one machine. I was able to win about one plush for every $5. Unfortunately, my second and third visits were completely different. The machines felt much weaker, and the staff member mostly stood at the counter using his phone. He occasionally adjusted random machines that no one was even using, which honestly just made me wonder why he was touching them at all. On my second visit, I spent $20 just to win one plush. On my third visit, I spent over $40. The plushies are cute, but the customer service and machine quality were very inconsistent. I do not think I would come back again, especially not on a Monday when these staff members seem to be working. read more

"I recently discovered this place when my fiancé introduced me, and we visited on Halloween. We were warmly greeted by Danny and Kelly, who provided phenomenal customer service and were incredibly attentive throughout our visit. The store was offering a Halloween goodie bag promotion for purchases of $50 or more, which included an exclusive plushie (not available in the claw machines), a Halloween-themed Pokémon pack (a favorite of mine), stickers, and candy. Danny and Kelly went above and beyond by helping us reposition plushies, giving us a better chance of winning! The claw machines are only $1 per try and feel fair--the claw actually grabs the plushies, making it a fun experience. I highly recommend this spot for date nights or outings with friends and family. Thank you, Danny and Kelly, for making our date night unforgettable!" read more

This claw machine spot is a total gem! If you're in the LA area and looking for a fun, affordable outing, this place is a MUST. Not only are the prices way more affordable than other places around, but the added bonus is that you can actually trade up your prizes! The variety of prizes is awesome, too! The real standout here though is the staff--so friendly and accommodating. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a great time.

Last week, I was here with a friend who was visiting from Vietnam, and it was noticeably warmer than usual. For some reason, the AC was off, and the place became extremely warm and stuffy, which made it uncomfortable to stay and browse. Another issue I've encountered over the past few visits that annoyed me is the constant pushing of promotions. While I understand the the staff are likely being instructed to promote them, it has gotten to the point where it feels like the promotion is being shoved down my throat, rather than simply being mentioned as an option. It made me feel like I was at a car dealership! Haha! I don't blame the employees personally, because it seems like this is something they've been instructed to do. Every employee did the same thing to my friends and me when we visited during the promotion period. However, repeatedly approaching and pressuring customers makes it difficult to enjoy the time there. Regardless of whether it's management's policy, this is not an effective way to run a business or attract and retain customers. I really do like the store and the staff, but addressing the temperature and dialing back the pressure around promotions would make the overall experience much more enjoyable.

Prizes were GREAT quality! Squishy toys were so cute and Stuffies were larger than I expected. Smiles on everyone's faces at the end of the night. Corey was so easy to work, great communication, easy process to book, made accommodations last minute for more items. I really can't rave enough about it. Tim was wonderful too! Quick set up at event and tear down, doesn't need much! PLEASE consider Coco Claw for your event if you want your guests to have fun. I could envision this at a Sweet sixteen, Quince, bar mitzvah, at a wedding for cocktail hour, school dance events for all age levels, retirement parties.

UNLOCKED: Escape Room

You know what they say about the gift that keeps giving? Well, we love it when one experience leads…read moreus to another, like how reading a good book sends us to a good TV series, or, in this case, a fantastic escape room spurs us on to discover ... the Human Crane! Game On! UNLOCKED Arcade is one of six escape rooms that UNLOCKED offers, in addition to a couple of tabletop games, which, sadly, as a duo, we probably won't be checking out. In spite of what it says at Escape Games Global, we DID NOT ESCAPE with 3 puzzles left, but we enjoyed ourselves so much at UNLOCKED, we headed to Dave & Buster's that same week because one of us is an arcade virgin, and we appreciated even more just how immersive Game On! UNLOCKED Arcade was! UNLOCKED is located in a business complex that also houses an interesting café downstairs, but we did not try that out this visit because we had dinner and The Outsiders musical waiting for us at Segerstrom. Parking was plentiful and we walked by the shared restrooms on reaching the top of the stairs. We were met by Dom, our genial game host, who had no objections that we arrived early so that we were able to get done in exactly 60 minutes. In fact, the timing turned out to be great because we had just enough time to do the room, food and show. After declining Dom's offer of the use of the restrooms and signing the online waiver that is also logged with Escape Games Global, we were shown into UNLOCKED's small but super-comfy lobby to watch the nice introductory video. Dom made sure to ask up front if we wanted to be prodded throughout the game (yes) or to have hints given only when we asked (er, no!), and also to point out the timer in the room. The video games, claw machine, skee-ball (favourite!) and other classic arcade games installed for Game On! UNLOCKED Arcade helped to provide a fully immersive and on-theme experience. It was interactive and, interestingly, turned the competitive nature of arcade games into an exercise in teamwork. This room was what we consider Third Generation (G3), because it was pretty high-tech, even as we were stymied by a number of hands-on arcade favourites and the controller of Gameboy generation games. Our 60 minutes was supposed to be spent on winning tickets and prizes for our birthday boy best friend, but really, it was spent on playing the games so much we forgot we had to escape the room! The puzzles and challenges were linear for the most part, but the entire experience was really a game within a ton of games so it was hard to pick a starting point. Once we got started, though, we were able to keep going. If we had a group of four, we would have been able to work four stations concurrently, but as a duo, (single really because one of us was a strictly non-electronic games person - TG for the cipher and other material games!) it was more challenging. Game On! UNLOCKED Arcade was more pricey than our most recent number of out-of-state games, but it was right on par with SoCal prices, and, in fact, extremely good value for the amount of fun we had, and that it is located in Costa Mesa. We appreciated the option of using Venmo for tips and it was a nice change to receive a Polaroid in lieu of a digital picture. It would have been the perfect room for us to play before watching The Who's Tommy - but The Outsiders was also an exceptional production. Can't wait to top this five-star experience with UNLOCKED, though - the Game On! UNLOCKED Arcade certainly set a high bar!

I'll start off by saying that yes we did enjoy the room we did overall. There were some…read morequestionable issues we had with the room though. I won't spoil anything but just for example, something in one of our rooms required a tad bit more force than usual for an escape room. We got to a point where we were completely stuck. Something that we had checked seemed as if it was tougher to open than the typical escape room strength needed to open something. So we assumed it wasn't meant to be touched. Well the game master gave the clue that the thing we looked at early on was actually usable. Typical escape rooms make it very easy to tell if something is meant to be used or not. If it's easy to move or open then it's fair game. If it does take some force then generally not something meant to be used. Anyways yes we did escape. Even if we thought some of the puzzles were a bit of a reach, I could see how they go there with their line of thinking. Maybe it's just that game we did. Not sure if they are all like this.

It does have an open space though and plenty of benches to sit at. At the base of the park are water tables where kids can splash around! At night, the fountain is completely different though! The tree roots allow kids to also explore, play, and crawl which is cool! My daughter spent a little while playing in this area and Goofy's How To Yard. During the summer hours, this area is open from the following 8:00 A.M to 8:00 P.M 10:30 P.M to 12:00 A.M It does close for the fireworks and additional shows. I do recommend stopping by CenTOONial Park during the evening! It is a different experience in Toontown during nighttime!

Boardwalk Arcade

Review #1010 2026-080…read more The Boardwalk Games & Arcade features different interactive games as well as an arcade with the latest & most popular games. The latter was reimagined in 02/2025 as The Factory Floor Arcade to feature a 1920s factory theme with 70 games & virtual reality attractions: Godzilla & Rilex Coaster. Players can redeem their winnings at the redemption counter that's stocked with prizes. The outdoor area is lined with traditional midway carnival games of skill & chance: 3-Point Challenge, Beach Ball Bust, Boardwalk Hoops, Bonkers, Dune Buggy Dash, Gearhead Knock Down, Hang Time Challenge, Hi-Striker, Ring Toss, Strike Out, Surf's Up, The Guessing Game (Knott's operator either guesses age or weight within a specific margin to win a prize), Woodstock's Birdbath (this is a "winner every time" game), etc. Both require additional fees from park admission. We rarely play at the Boardwalk Games & Arcade unless there's a collectible toy that caught our kids' eye. While it's a couple of dollars, it adds up due to the difficulty level, except Woodstock's Birdbath (but its prizes are less desirable), & the frustration of not winning anything after spending a lot of time & money. A $5 plushie might cost $50 after multiple failed attempts... yikes! We limited our kiddos to $20. One of the handful of times my eldest played, H won a Squishmallow at one of the booths on her 1st try! ^_^ Whoohoo! Recommended: If you're pretty skilled or just damn lucky, I'd say go for it!

Okay so an arcade at a theme park should come with certain expectations, but C'MON!…read more The games here are new and working, which is great, but the PRICE is way too high. If you are here and you are absolutely itching to play at an arcade, it's fine for what it is, but the ticket redemptions and the price per play is a big rip off. In addition, they have claw machines that are all set to such a low rate of winning that it's totally not worth it at all. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are really in an arcade mood, there are plenty of spots outside of the theme park that you can go to.
