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!

I love their selection of plushies for prizes, excellent customer service, and ambiance. I def will be back~

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!

We won a Totoro!!

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!

How cute is this?
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.

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.

Great place to visit in DCA!…read more Just an FYI, I noticed that unless you have your stroller designated as a wheelchair, you can't bring it in and you have to park it outside for those who have children. Kids love this place as they can run around, go down a slide, and use the tire zipline among the rope climbing areas. I think it's a more physical and interactive space where they can also learn about the wilderness and how we can take care of nature around us versus just running around a regular playground. You can interact with the cast members there and sometimes they have photo pass opportunities here too. For Oogie Boogie Bash, this area is used for the Villain's Grove and during the Xmas season you can meet Santa here or decorate some cookies. I went during the Hoppers Collaboration and it's a cute little "scavenger hunt" with signs of the critter characters, a puzzle to decode, and photo opportunities with some free stickers. Super cute and fun! Hope it becomes permanent since the theme is perfect and since I love Tom Lizard.

They can climb on rock walls, play up in the rope house and even do tire swings. My kids can play here for hours without knowing. If we need a break from rides and the heat, this is the spot we like going to and just let the kids run around. My kids are still pretty small so I follow them but bigger kids can just explore with you feeling confident that they are contained and safe. Great spot. Totally recommend.

This place has been around since I was a little kid so I was really excited to be able to take my…read moreown kids here. 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.

This place is the best option for kids and parents time…read more The rides are all them good Food is ok not going to lie but still hit the spot when need it I really recommend this for kids.

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.

Adventureland Treehouse is a fun and unique attraction that's great for a relaxed visit. The…read moreelevated walkways and themed treehouse design make it feel a bit whimsical and different from typical park spots. It's enjoyable for a short break, especially if you like exploring scenic or creative structures. That said, it's more of a quick walkthrough experience rather than a long activity, and it can feel a bit limited if it's crowded. Still, it's a nice change of pace and worth stopping by if you're already in Adventureland.

It's a simple experience. You walk up the trunk of the tree, explore the various exhibits up in the 'canopy' above, and then slowly make your way back down. it's a quick walk, but there's enough to look at that you'll most likely see something new with each visit. I appreciate that. It's overload, but it doesn't feel like overload. With all that said, I think more than most rides/attractions at Disneyland, this one is a skip for me. It's nor horrible, but you're not missing anything by not going on it. I've always seen this as either a time killer or a 'huh. Haven't been on this in forever.' It's never anywhere near my list of things to do when I come to the park. It's just kinda...there. And I feel like the fact that it is constantly retooled speaks for that. I feel like the park doesn't really know what to do with this space. They keep trying to keep thing relevant, but just never really get it right.

Friends all arrived earlier to get checked in and then they give you bracelets to make sure you've paid but also for re-entry. You can go home to make sure your kids have a nap and then go back to use the pass all day. it's pricier but worth it if you go all day. It's quite a spacious place with trampolines, some swinging ropes, different areas to climb up, a little water room where they provide you some rain boots and rain jackets. They have a bunch of different slides too. An area that is mainly for older kids and an area for the younger kids. It's quite well-designed., I love that they even give you slides to wear to the restrooms so your feet do not get wet. Note: EVERYONE has to wear socks all the time, so make sure you bring a pair. They sell them at the front as well for both kids and adults. For the birthday party, they give you a room to use for 1.5 hours. It's quite a large room and they have balloons, plates, utensils and pizza. They even have this cart cleaning station with napkins and wet wipes too. Employees are there to help with clean up and it's quite nice since the table is U shaped so lots of seating area. We had about 15 kids and the parents and it was still a lot of room. The employees help with cleanup as well. Quite organized. I think in general it is a great place if you want a one stop shop. Parents have to accompany kids, but lots of place for the parents to walk around and keep an eye on the kids if they are able to go alone. I went into the structure and it's not at all too low for the adults to walk around if you're following younger children. Definitely a comfortable spot and I like how plush the floors are.

I've hesitated a lot to post but as I've been coming almost everyday or having a monthly membership it seems like I MUST due to some lacking of how the business is being run. 1. The staff/ employees are not attentive to running the business hours. They are nice but they do not pay attention to the customers. There will be days where the devices like the carousel is not plugged in to start the day when it's past the opening time. I would ask couple of times on different days letting them know it's not plugged in. (My husband also had gone couple times told me the carousel was not plugged in). Not only the carousel but the arcade for Mario Kart would not be set up where I would call up an employee and ask them about it to set up so the kids not just my child can play ready to go. When a business opens the place should be ready to go for the customers but it would be funny that the customer would have to ask to have the things ready. I am surprised and frustrated because I'm like wondering why isn't the carousel working? Is it broken? No it was just not plugged in ready to go. Why would the business be opened if it's not ready for its customers to use their equipment? I've seen sadly that the employees are just having fun amongst themselves talking in the front but they don't pay attention to the customers wanting to purchase food or drinks or snacks where they have to then just go to the front. I've seen some parents calling the staff for attention but they're not answering where they end up walking to the front. Seeing that is very frustrating because the employees are not doing their job. They don't watch our kids but at least pay attention to the customers trying to purchase one of their own goods. 2. The cleanliness IS NOT MAINTAINED.. This week my mother in law went to play pie and told me she had killed a roach near the car carousel. I'm so sad and disgusted to hear this. I don't know how the facility is being taken care of or how often but this explains a lot. I'm very disappointed to hear this because my child loves to come here but seeing some things on how the business is run makes me feel lack of trust, worries and not safe environment. I'm just hoping things can improve..
