Also when it is payout, claw grabs and does not let go until reaching back home to prize chute. Just see videos that they do not play games like both duck locations in Eagan and mall of America. Tokens can be purchased any amount since $1 per token. Claw machines are mostly 1 token with a few that take 2 tokens. Single gatcha machine takes $8 worth of tokens but you get a token back when you return empty gatcha egg. Post on social media and you get free tokens. My son and I spent $15 and got 4 plushies and 1 gatcha toy. Totally worth it to play and guaranteed to win with some help.

Drove 30 minutes with my 4 year old to find out no one ever opened the store. Hours say 11:30am and…read morethere are no signs on the door that say they are closed. Tried calling and no answer. Business next door said they weren't open yesterday either and he thinks they may be on vacation. My son and I are extremely disappointed by this. We wasted time and gas money. They could have at least had the curtosey to put a sign on the door. I'm sure if they called the business next door they would have done it for them. Very irresponsible and disrespectful management. We will not be returning.

The location is across from the food court inside the maplewood mall, next to the entry at Kohls…read more Very friendly staff, it was a good opportunity for us to just unwind as we were perusing through the mall and got done at the arcade downstairs and were up to grab some food. This business has claw machines for which to operate you can buy coins from the counter. Prizes are mainly plush toys but every machine has a different selection and then if you win enough plushies, you can redeem them for bigger prizes also. We bought $15 worth of token and got multiple plush toys. Would recommended checking the place out, if you are in the mall.

Before you judge my 3 star review please read. So I remember someone telling me about this little…read moreclaw machine arcade in the Maplewood Mall. I stopped by months ago but then walked right out because I was not impressed by the prize selection. After those few months I decided to give this place an honest try. I life claw machines and I am decently good at them. This place might not have tons of claw machines with tons of prizes or tons of trade ins but they are a lot better than I gave them credit for . The machines have strong claws , some are challenging but the games are fair. Staff are super nice and are constantly checking on people to help them reset a game or help them set up a game. They give tips and they're very friendly . They have a reward system which I honestly have only seen at one other claw place so far which is Duck in Eagan. . I would definitely recommend this place to check it out but in comparison to other claw arcades it's a step below. Not as many trade in prizes and the claw machine selections are okay. It is a fun place and with $5-$20 you can win a decent prize or two.

It almost seems like some of the items were too slippery so you couldn't get a good drip on them. Claw games are notoriously bad though so I don't see this as too different from a standard claw machine. The workers might help with placement of a particular item for kids so ask for some help. I'm appreciative of their help and still think it's worth a visit.

My first time visiting a claw arcade. We were grabbing coffee next door and needed to waste a bit…read moreof time before our next plans. We luckily got there early before it got busier. It's a smaller arcade. They have a prize upgrade system as well as if you win a prize out of a claw machine and it's not the color you want they let you swap it with a different one (has to be from the same machine). They are also kind enough to "reset" the plushies to help make it easier to win them. It for sure can get addicting quick trying to win particular plushies. They do charge a small fee for using cards vs cash, so I suggest bringing a bit of cash. You also get more tokens the more you buy. Each machine takes 1 token to play. I felt like the prizes were a lot better quality than what I thought they would be. You can trade 15 of the smaller plushies for a big one (or different prizes in general). Overall a fun place. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Nice staff.

This place has probably any game you can think of to play. And you just pay a flat fee for free play! They have rock band, pac-man, mortal combat, fix it Felix, Tetris, classic super Mario bros, N64, and tons of pinball machines to name just a few. The kids also found a room in the back where they could watch a movie on a big projector screen. I think you can even do birthday parties here! There is absolutely plenty of space.

There's bubble machine and you get free lollipop on the way out. The place is a dream come true land for kiddos who love cars/trains, imagine play. We enjoyed here and came back again. You get punch cards too. It's a great value for indoor play. There s restaurant right outside and you can honestly be here all day. The owner are so nice and friendly, lots of sitting options for parents. Highly recommended.

You walk into a huge gaming store and they have a few little hangout areas and a bar in the back where you can get wine, beer, sodas, and some small snacks. There is also a water fountain where you can fill up your own water bottle. The tables were pretty small, but worked out for a 500 piece puzzle - and lighting was perfectly fine. I think it was only $30 to sign up for the puzzle competition and you got to keep the puzzle at the end. I would come back!
