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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our visit today with my nephew to Cosmic Claw Arcade was absolutely fantastic!!!! Their customer service was 10/10!!! They went above and beyond to help us explore and enjoy their arcade! We will most definitely be back! 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

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

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

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

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

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

The most helpful and friendliest staff! Tip: don't be scared to ask for help! IYKYK! We will for sure be back!

Nice plushies! Love the decorations and winner a prize shortly after I got there is even better:)

It was our first time at a claw arcade, and it was so much fun! They want you to win so much that they offered to move the prizes around inside to make it easier! They have some low to the ground that only take 1-2 coins that were great for my 6yo. We went during soft opening and can't wait to return again and again. read more

Cosmic Claw Arcade - This was our bounty from $20. - Arcades Near Me - Elk Grove, California

We took our 3 kids to this location tonight and had an absolute blast! The claw machines worked really well. All 3 kids walked away with 2 prizes each. And I won a prize as well. There were a lot of machines so there was a large selection of characters to try for. Definitely coming back again.(probably soon lol) We are excited that Elk Grove has a new fun place to enjoy. Best arcade in town in my opinion. Staff very friendly and super helpful. Recommend to anyone looking to have fun. read more

Employees are super nice. If you're a member, they give extra perks (tokens). I hope they eventually make the space bigger.

This place is so nice! The staff were awesome. Had such a great experience and we walked out with several prizes.

We took our 5 year old daughter here and she had a blast! The workers were so helpful and rearranged the prizes so our daughter had an easier chance of winning them. We left with many prizes! Unlike other claw machine arcades who tend to rip us off, we felt the money we spent here was worth it with the amount of prizes we won! We definitely will be coming back here and highly recommend this place to take your kids. read more

Predatory and rigged. The machines grab toys almost every time, then conveniently let go at the top. We watched our kid go from excited to crying hysterically after "winning" over and over -- and leaving with nothing. Staff offering to move toys or hand one over just proves the machines are designed to fail. Worst family outing we've ever had and the fastest way to throw away hundreds of dollars. Avoid. read more

I used to hate claw machine places until I tried cosmic claw! The staff was amazing. They kept helping me until I won a prize! I have never been to a place that treats customers this well. Aside from the staff, a feature I really loved is the trade in option (if you get a lot of small prizes you can trade for a big one). Also, I wanted to note how many people I saw leaving with 10+ plushies!! When I go to other claw machine places it's never like this! Whoever owns this place deserves a pat on the back! read more

Super cute activity to do during the day, I would recommend checking it out for fun I would again to see what other stock they have next time to be worth the try. read more

Cool new spot in Elk Grove! Lots of cute claw machines and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. If they see your kid keep struggling over a machine they will help rearrange the stuffies for a better chance. You can also trade the stuffies you get for points to collect to get higher prizes, super helpful option! read more

We had so much fun at this arcade. We met some friends here and the place was busy and buzzing with excitement. There were lots of great machines with prizes that ranged from super cute and tiny to larger than my youngest child. When anyone (adults included) were struggling to get a certain prize, the staff were quick to help rearrange to make it easier to win. We left with a huge bag full of goodies, including a Labubu that my oldest won from one of the claw machines. I can't wait to go back and see what new prizes there are. I would recommend this arcade to anyone, kids or not. read more

This is a great place for the kids. Folks actually want you to go home with something....even if it means restacking the plushies to make it easier to win. read more

It was great! They were very helpfull. Our son had a great time. We will be back again soon.

This is genuinely the best claw machine/arcade experience I've ever had. This small Asian owned business is ran by a very kind and caring family. It's obvious that they aren't trying to money grab you and genuinely just want to see the community come together. It's safe to say that if you come you WILL leave with some type of prize with you. If you are stuck on a machine they are willing to help you. I don't usually write reviews however this place was truly phenomenal. 10/10 recommend read more
