I heard about this place on TikTok and Instagram for a while so I decided to check this place out after I ate Korean BBQ that was nearby. The place looked very clean and very cute (since it was space themed). Also, the staff was very welcoming and kind. The guy who worked there was very helpful and explained the rules and tips since it was my first time there. I spent around $20 to get tokens and what's really nice is that if it's your first time there then you can get more tokens depending how much you bought. Also, if you want a certain item then you can ask the staff to rearrange it so that you can get a better chance at getting that item. I would definitely come back again! read more

Come support this business! Damian, the owner, is a class act. This establishment truly employs the sweetest and most kind hearted employees. That alone makes me want to go back. Now let's move on to the cute stuffies. Let me be the first to tell you... these cute stuffies are taking over my life. My kids are obsessed and they think I'm T.I. Singing 'you can have whatever you like' but I'm really just balling on a tight budget. The machines can be anywhere from 1-4 coins and most of the prizes allow you to trade up. They're super trendy and up to date with what's in. The employees are helpful and help move the stuffies if you really want something specific. We always save 8 for the Photo Booth, it's kind of our 'thing' now. There's capsules, arcade games, and keychains. Lots of photo op opportunities. Fun tip- become a member. It's worth it! read more

My daughter is obsessed with claw machines so we had to go check out Cosmic Claw! It's super cool inside. The girls working were nice and very helpful. My daughter went around from machine to machine testing her luck and skill. She ended up with a handful of winnings. She decided to trade most of them in for a big prize! We'll definitely be back! read more

Had the best time at Cosmic Claw with my partner! I kept seeing tik toks of this establishment so I had to go! It's a small arcade with around 25-30 claw machines for stuffed animals, blind boxes, and gatcha capsules in the back. The staff are friendly and attentive in interacting with kids and helped us by resetting the machine after we failed a few attempts. We won a plushies so we were definitely happy. They have a paid membership for $20 so you can get extra tokens. You can pay cash via a kiosk or pay card with a staff member. Brought home two capybaras! read more

We decided to stop by this place because we knew it just opened a few weeks ago. I saw that it was being built awhile ago and anticipated it's opening. It's neat to have a place like this in out town. It's in a small strip mall and has parking since it's next to a small bakery and restaurant. I wish it had a lighted sign out front since we drove up and it was dark in the lot. It looked closed. You could only see light from inside the front door We went inside and were greeted right away from the guy behind the counter. He said if we had any questions to just ask. We were taking pictures and taking it all in. It was decorated with space men and New Years decorations. Kind of neat. The claw machines were all in the middle of the place and Gotcha machines in the back. It was really neat. They gave us member prices on our tokens. The machines all take tokens and not real money. There was a machine to do change but the guy said he could exchange the money for tokens at the front desk. He gave us a membership deal. We got 16 tokens for ten bucks. My wife and I went around trying some of the machines. There were two other staff members walking around to help you. If you couldn't win a stuffed animal. They would open up the machine to help you get it easier. We tried a few times and my wife finally got one. It was satisfying. Thanks to the staff member to help us out. We at least won something. The claws seemed pretty strong grip compared to other machines I have used at other locations. Most machines took 2 tokens to play. It was nice to try but some of the prices seemed high for what you got especially for the Gotcha, (Gashapon) machines in the back. There were no Anime toys worth lots in any of the machines. I think having those really hard to get items would make the place much better. At this point I don't see going back more times. The amount of machines is also lacking. Maybe put some more challenging type machines or something to challenge two people at once. Still this is a unique place to be here in Elk Grove. Worth a look for sure. read more

Such a fun spot to take the kiddos! I came with my 4 kids. Age ranging from 2 year old to 19 year old, lol. All 4 had fun! Owner even helped me 5 year old win a prize. Great staff and owner! Def coming back! read more

Great place to do a little activity! They have a decent amount of claw machines and gashapons! Round1 probably has more of a variety of claw machines, but I haven't seen any place with as many gashapons as this place. The staff is super friendly and personable! They want you to win a prize and will help you, without doing it themselves haha Prices for playing were decent. 20 dollars for 30ish tokens. Each play is dependent, but minimum 4 tokens from what i have seen. If you're a member you get better deals and of course if you spend more money the ratio of tokens is better. The place is at the edge of town, so it is kind of far, but it really is the only place I can think of in Elk Grove with this kind of activity. They constantly update their IG page with new plushies or gashapons and are quick to listening to feedback. Give this place a try! read more

Had so much fun at cosmic claw this weekend! There were claw machines with diff toy sizes as well at gachas in the back. You can save up your winnings and trade them for bigger prizes and blind boxes. There was a photobooth in the back that took tokens as well. The staff members were really nice and attentive. They adjusted the position of the toys in the claw when my friends and I struggled. My friends and I enjoyed ourselves and ended up with quite the haul! Can't wait to come back again! read more

Saw the word "arcade" and I personally hoped for more games and not just claw games... but that's ok. It's a lot packed into a small space. The staff was great - thank you Damien for welcoming us in. As first time guests we got a perk with a few extra tokens with our $20 purchase. If you communicate with the staff that you tried a couple times to win a prize they'll open up the game and reposition the prize to help you out. It was a fast $20 spent but we had some good laughs. We walked out with a few stuffys and a quick family memory. (Many games were just 1-2 tokens) The place was super clean. I only deduct one star because there was some machines in the back that were empty- not sure why. I meant to ask but was distracted by trying to win a prize :-) read more

It was mine and my kid's first time at this claw machine arcade the other day. It's a good size, very cool inside and all the lights makes it so fun for the kids. The attendant there is very helpful and so nice. The kids can't wait to go back. They did win a few times so that was nice that the machines weren't rigged. read more

Workers are so kind they help you get toys or snacks the best arcade ever! First half of the review was written by my son and I agree. These guys are the best, 5 stars and more. read more

So cool a claw arcade opened up in the area! It's smaller than I thought but still plenty of fun. The workers are super friendly and helpful. Quick to help you redeem prizes or rearrange the prizes to better positions for you! We came in mid day Saturday and it was busy but not packed. Lots of cute prizes and the claws aren't too weak so yo have a good chance of winning! The membership is $20 for a lifetime membership and you get more coins for each tier. Could be worth it if you plan on visiting a lot! read more

Found this place on TikTok, saw nothing but good reviews so I was excited to stop by. We visited around 6PM on Saturday for my birthday. It's a small but lively arcade! Employees were very nice and prices are reasonable. They have quite a few different machines that range from snacks, stuffed animals, blind boxes, and also have a photo booth and gashapon machines in the back. We paid $20 for 32 tokens but the employee gave us 36 as a new visiter gift (they also offer a membership as well). You can also ask the employees to rearrange whatever prize you're trying to win and they'll gladly do it for you. We had lots of fun and the other customers were also very friendly, everyone cheers whenever you win a big prize. You can trade in certain wins for bigger prizes upfront as well. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely come back again in the future :) read more

We came here on a Sunday night. They are only opened on the weekends. I think the hours are from 1 pm to 8:30 pm. The place wasn't busy on Sunday. The place was small. They didn't have a whole lot of prizes in the machines. Some were empty. They offer a membership and you can buy tokens al la carte. They have a person patrolling the floor to offer help for players. She would give you tips and try make it easier for you to catch the prize. It's nice of them to do that. The place is pretty cool. It was fun. We didn't spend a whole lot of time there, a lot of the machines didn't have much. read more

Was lucky enough to snag one of the soft opening reservations. Had a blast here! They have a good amount of claw machines on the main floor filled with different character plushie/blind boxes like pokemon, Sanrio, labubu, smiskis, miffy, nailong, etc. I only played on the plushie machines and the cost ranged from 2-3 tokens a play. They have a trade counter at the front too where you can trade in your prizes for something else. The gachapon hall had a good variety of different things too. I got the mini gachapon machine and it was super cool. They all varied in token prices. There is also a photobooth, I didn't use it but it took tokens as well. Staff is super nice and helpful if you need to readjust prizes if the claw is out of reach/hard to get. Overall a fun addition to EG and can't wait to come back! read more

Got to check out Cosmic Claw Arcade tonight for a special soft launch and it was amazing! The staff here are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was amazing, and the pricing for tokens with what it takes to play is such a good deal. They even have a membership system which gets you extra tokens and deals in the future. There's a variety of claw machines and "gum-ball like" machines to get prizes. I love the prize selections and concept here. You can also trade up your prizes for different prizes and they have really good selections. This place is great for solo fun, date night, hanging out with friends and family, folks of all ages. It was truly an out of this world experience and I can't wait to go back again! read more

If you like collecting plushies, definitely check out Elk Grove's newest and first ever claw arcade. They're only taking reservations at the moment but are planning to officially open soon. The store is small but there's a solid selection of machines so you won't have to wait too long. The astronomy-themed interior is mesmerizing. You can tell a lot of time and care went into curating this store. The employees are so attentive and want to help you -- don't be afraid to ask them to adjust the position of the stuffed animals. They offered to help us a lot when we were struggling which was nice of them. The claw machines reward you on persistence, so you'll need to fail a couple times before payout. I love the variety of prizes offered here; there's labubus, Sonny angels, smiskis, sanrio, pokemon, and more to win. If you have enough plushies, you can even trade them in for a larger plush or other prizes. We swapped our smaller prizes for a bigger Nailong plush, but we also had the opportunity to choose from different vinyl records, which is pretty good value. read more

Fun little place to bring the kids. The staff is super nice and helpful. If you missed a couple tries they assist you in trying to get the item. The kids love it here. read more

Tucked away on the edge of Elk Grove, I first found this place on social media and I decided to check it out. Really new so inside had a super clean feel and look to it. Cons: Tokens can get pretty expensive, it's really small inside. Went on a Friday night and it was so crowded Pros: staff was super nice and friendly that I asked her to fluff up the plushies and she set it up so that we could actually win. Close by, great for small families and date night. read more

Super cute place. There are a ton of claw machines with plushies ranging from Sanrio, Pokemon, Shiba Inu, globe, etc. The employees could help you position the dolls so it's easier to grab if you need help. We got $50 for 90 coins. We used 70 coins and my kids got 3 medium sized plushies and 1 keychain plushie. In total probably spent $38 for 4 plushies. I think we were there for 20 minutes . read more

Cosmic Claw in Elk Grove is such a fun spot! The ambience is super cool and the whole place has a great vibe. The service was super friendly too, which made it even better.

This place has great decor and amazing staff! Pros: - the staff are very helpful and will give you tips if needed, and moves around stuffies a few times to make it easier for my nieces. - Tell them it's your first visit! The were helpful and generous - fun variety of stuffies - a trade-in system to get bigger prizes - we had no trouble finding parking Cons: - pretty small inside. Made it hard to get around when a lot of people were there. - it was fun, but ended quickly read more

Cosmic claw is a fun new spot! I love the location since it's so close to home and is surrounded by plenty of nearby stores. This makes it convenient to stop by anytime. It wasn't crowded when we went so we got to try different machines without having to wait around. The staff was very friendly and approachable. We weren't very lucky but they tried to help us by moving the prizes a bit! Luckily, we got one that night. The claw machine prices are reasonable. We didn't spend too much so we were there for a little over half an hour. Since the place is still brand new, I'd love to see this place grow even more. Maybe adding small snacks or food options in the future would make it even better! Overall, it was nice to support and welcome a new local business. They have a lot of potential and excited to see where this takes them! read more

Cosmic Claw was a hit with my son. Staff were friendly and quick to help when he got stuck on a machine. He bounced around trying different games and walked away with a nice pile of wins, then cashed most of them in for a bigger prize at the counter. Made his day. read more

This is a true Elk Grove gem! I cannot tell you enough how kind the staff is here! They went out of their way to make my 3 girls time spent here enjoyable and made Mom and Dad not feel like we are throwing money in the wind. It is clean, fun music is playing and our family all had so much fun. This was the perfect way to spend time after lunch before school starts. We can't wait to visit you again for our girls birthdays. read more

The staff are exceptional here and make the experience stand out. It's small, but it's very well themed and the variety of prizes is great. This is the only arcade I have been to where I didn't feel like I was ripped off after I left. It feels like you get your money's worth here. We have returned multiple times! read more

TLDR; LOVE THIS PLACE, SUPER FUN AND GREAT SERVICE AND QUALITY PRIZES! Friends, fam, and strangers alike - this is the biggest 2025-2026 recommendation that I can give for Sacramento and especially for an entertainment establishment. THIS is the place that Elk Grove has been waiting for all these years, and it DELIVERS!! *Customer Service* I have never been to an arcade with this phenomenal of a service. You can tell that each staff member genuinely loves working there, and is so helpful and enthusiastic in cheering you on and ensuring that you have a great time and walk away with something! They're also super attentive, a kid was struggling next to me and I saw one of the staff members noticed and stepped in quickly to help with them. I got a chance to quickly chat with the owner, who seemed like he has a deep care for the community, and it made me really respect the intention and design of this store. *Ambiance* Words don't do it justice. From the moment you walk into the door, the illumination and curation of the cosmic theme is immersive and beautiful. From the floating astronauts to the planets to the neon blue/yellow color scheme, being here was magical. I lost track of time and any sense of reality (in the best way) as I tried to win the cutest miffy plushies and smiski blind boxes. There is seating located in the middle of the store (great for if parents want to sit while watching their kids) as well as adjacent to the storefront window. The mascot is also super cute, love capybaras!! *Fun Factor* 11/10 - This place is great for families, for dates, for anyone who's a fan of japanese arcade culture, tbh anyone who wants a good time. The prizes are also RLY GREAT QUALITY, literally every prize is cute. The prizes in the machine and the counter is soooo worth the value (you can not only trade in plushies for a bigger plushie, but also a VINYL or a CD or a BLIND BOX etc). Even though I didn't walk away with a smiski (next time i'll get you!!), I was still happy bc the prizes I got from the mini claw machine and the other claw machines were still very cute. There's a photobooth, claw machines, gachapon, mini claw machines, and other machines. They also recently had a Halloween themed weekend, and the machines transformed with themed plushies (ahem, spoopy miffys omggg love). The attention to detail is awesome. *Parking/Location* This is in a plaza with several other stores, so parking is pretty plentiful. It's a great place to spend time if you're doing some waiting time for Oz KBBQ. It's located next to a dance studio and another unit that's awaiting to be filled. Super excited to see where this business goes, and you already know I'll be coming back again and again! Highly reco and a hidden gem!! read more

I saw this place on IG, brought my daughter in to play, and we walked away w/ a grip of stuffed animals, keychains, and a squishy buttered roll (which smells just like butter!). The claws are a little loosy goosy BUT they have multiple staff (4 while we were there) who offer help while observing when folks can't get their desired prize; they open the box & take great care to reposition it for you in a way that's almost surefire to obtain. There's a big variety of games & prizes there, too, despite the space being one room of around 700 sq ft- some machines rely on grabbing a plush "earth" from the floor, then choosing a prize from the wall behind it, which was surprisingly very fun; staff gave us a solid "tip" on how to clutch the earth because as with the others, it wasn't an immediate grab. Keep in mind, the place is a business that needs to make money to pay their rent & staff, so expecting to go in & win with every attempt isn't feasible. Their machines use tokens which you buy for quarters at a smaller ratio (7 tokens for $5, 32 for $20, 80 for $50, I forget how much for 100 tokens lol. They give you a few extra tokens free if it's your first time in- some machines use 1 token (not many of them), some 2 (about 40% of them, & with very decent prizes), some 3, some 4 (about 50% of them, and those have the best prizes). The Labubu machine may be the hardest I played, actually any of the 2 or 3 machines that rely on picking up an actual box. It can be a rigorous journey if you get invested in winning on one of the box machines, my friend, because you must keep it in your claw long enough to reach the promised land of the drop zone. Something I thought was really cool was, they also have a wall behind the register which you can trade in your machine-gotten-goodies for larger prizes, with each of your prizes amounting to a different number of "stars"- though not all prizes have star value, MOST of them do- so you discern which big prize/s you'd prefer based on the stars your smaller prizes are worth. For instance, my daughter traded a graduating hello kitty & a graduating capybara for a large capybara on vacation. They have some pretty big prizes up there and even some vinyl, for the right amount of stars. Lastly, there's a huge machine in the island area of the room towards the back which is a "string cutter," but which has an enormous stuffed creature in it (hanging from the string you're tasked with cutting)- we didn't try this bad boy but we saw a few different groups try it & right before we headed out, a crowd in the back roared with success- someone successfully cut the string & liberated a giant anime dragon - after I'd say about 20 minutes of focused attempts & an unknown amount of tokens. The dragon was very cool, though, and I hope it's there again next time so I can make my move and show it the world from outside the glass. You may reflexively weigh the prizes you walk away with against the money you spent on tokens, but beware: this rad little "clawcade" isn't just providing stuffed prizes, keychains, and scented faux baked goods- it provides you with memories with your kids, your friends, and yourself, which is difficult if not impossible to price out, and they care enough to have multiple staff at all times to help you get the goods you're eyeing. So go support EG's Cosmic Claw, it's a good time, all of the workers were very kind, and everyone around us was having a blast right along with us - especially the group who saved the dragon ... read more

Cosmic Claw is such a cute place ! I got a chance to reserve for their soft opening and the place is so cute ! Located near Oz Korean BBQ it's such a cute place with a variety of claw machines and gachapons! The staff is also really nice and helpful, they fixed the plushies for me when it was in a really bad spot which I really appreciated. Anytime they saw me struggle so bad they were right there to help me so nice !They had a variety of plushies and you can even trade in the plushies you win for even bigger plushies or blind boxes ! I was surprised there was Miffy plushes in the claw machine!! Overall the place is so cute and I love how we have an arcade so close by in Elk Grove. Here's my winnings for today! :D read more

Great place to hang out and have fun ! The workers are very helpful and the place has great things to win. Very worth it !

This is the 2nd claw machine establishment I've been too and it was pretty disappointing based on the standard set by the first. The grips are weak and prone to dropping when it hits the top . The workers are nice and willing to move things around but that still doesn't change the mechanics of the claw machines themselves . Not a good place to bring a group of children although it was nice of them to give my niece a "free"birthday bracelet. The kids won a few things but I expected way more for the money. read more

Such a cute arcade, my son (age 8) had a blast playing all the claw machines. It was clean and I liked that they had sanitizer by the door. Overall the best part was the staff, they were all so attentive, helpful and so great with the kids. Top tier employees! We will be back. read more

Very small, so not a big selection. But customer service was great! Super friendly and helpful. Only won one small plush for $20, but claws overall felt relatively strong (so they give you hope, lol). Nice to have a claw arcade in EG. Wishing them success :) read more

Worst game place I've ever been to in my life. It's so hard to win anything I'm just showing my kid that they can nail it every time and still lose because they said the voltage so low on these machines that nobody can win unless you lose about 10 times in a row I was told. Maybe improve it also by letting people win it's cool. You adjust it for kids and maybe a different kind of toys weidner, scope of kinds of toys.... This place is two blocks from my house and I'll never come back willing to bet they're out of business by the end of the year. read more

First time here and it was a really good experience for both my daughter and I! Place is small, cute space theme, and everyone was friendly. They were more than happy to reassemble the items so it can be easily won which I appreciated so much because not many places do that. Sometimes, we didn't even have to ask, they'd just come and offer it- so nice of them!! You can trade in your items for other prizes at the counter. They have squishies (my daughter's main reason for wanting to come). She won a decent amount and the price wasn't TOO bad. We would be back for sure! read more

This cute place is such a fun family outing. We come to Cosmic Claw Arcade from time to time, and every visit has new prizes to win, which keeps it exciting for my son (and honestly, for us too). The best part is the people who work here, they're always friendly and they will actually help you when you're having a tough time getting a prize. You can tell they want you to have a good experience, not just spend money and walk away frustrated. My son always leaves happy and wanting to go back right away, and that alone makes it worth coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, family-friendly spot! read more

I had an amazing experience at Cosmic Claw Arcade. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by warm smiles and friendly workers. I played a couple of the claw machines, and the workers were kind enough to help position the prizes in an easier way to win after they saw us struggling, that way everyone walks out a winner with a prize. I would definitely recommend coming here, as it is a perfect fun activity for friends and family. read more
