So much fun! Britney was super nice at the cashier! The selection of plushies are better than next door. Very family friendly and lively. Yes, I won plenty of prizes! read more

Craft Land - Arcades Near Me - Houston, Texas

Me and some friends stopped by Craft Land the other night after dinner, and it ended up being a really fun time. It was my first visit, and exploring Houston's Chinatown at night just adds to the vibe. Bright lights, great energy, and cool little places like this tucked into plazas. We came mainly for the claw machines, and they definitely delivered. These aren't your usual scammy machines where you walk away empty-handed and annoyed. The win rates here are actually decent. We saw a bunch of people pulling out prizes, and we managed to win a few cute plushies ourselves. There's a wide variety of machines too, with everything from small trinkets to giant stuffed animals. This place could be a fun date spot if you're both a little playful or competitive, but honestly it's perfect for kids. The atmosphere is light and casual, and there's plenty to keep them entertained. One thing I didn't totally get was the "tufting" part of the name. After looking online it looks like you can do rug making workshops but I'm not sure where they'd host this as the place was full of claw machines. That being said we didn't check that part out, but maybe next time. Overall, Craft Land is a cool little late-night adventure, especially if you're in the area and want to mix a bit of nostalgia and prize-hunting into your night. read more

There's so many claw machine shops in Bellaire now, but this is one of the original and best ones! Each pull will cost you a little under $1 (two tokens, and $50 gets you 130 = 65 pulls). We split the $50 pack for 3 people and ended up with about 15 total plushies across different machines. They have a trade-in system where about 35 trade-ins gets you a large plushie. I still feel like the large plushie machine is a bit rigged on timing, but we had a blast with all of the normal machines. read more

Fun atmosphere, lots of colored lights I felt like a kid in a candy store. Claw machines galore. $5 for 10 tokens, follow on IG and you get 2 free tokens. Staff was friendly. Had so much fun, I was able to score 3 dolls. Each machine requires around 2 tokens. It was truly a fun day Sunday coming here. Dolls I snagged are going to the doggies, they were so excited to get the dolls. Would definitely recommend this place for kids and adults alike if you're looking for some fun. read more

The selection of plushies here remain one of the best for the claw games. The pricing structure is very good, too. For $20, we got plenty of coins for two kids to share. When one of my boys kept trying (and failing) for the same plush, a worker came and helped him by reorganizing the plush pile so that he would be more successful. We left with three keychains (one coin per play) and got seven plushies (2 coins per play), which is what we got last time for our $20 as well. I forgot exactly how many coins we got but they tried about 2-3 plays per plushies won. A few times it took 4 or 5 tries to win and almost always someone came to help by then. It was very crowded but they were good at keeping an eye out to make sure the kids left happy and not disappointed. This is still my go-to for claw machine games oyt of the 10+ Ive visited in Houston and the surrounding areas. The plushies are nice quality, they always have sanrio or pokemon plushies, and the customer service is top notch. The claws do not seem overly weak, either, and so it doesnt feel rigged. read more

I've visited Houston several times, and each time, I stop at a place like Teso to play claw machines. It's super addictive, and before I know it, I've spent hundreds of dollars! On my latest trip, I discovered Craft Land. I arrived Saturday 2/15 evening around 5 PM and spent $20 for about 46 tokens. I was pleasantly surprised by the claw machines here; you don't lose every time. I'd say the chances of winning are about 4 out of 10 plays. Each play costs 2 tokens, and if you win, you get cute small plush toys. Each small plush toy equals 1 point, and if you collect enough points, you can trade them in for larger prizes, like bigger Pokémon plush toys. I had my eye on a big Bulbasaur, which cost 45 points. I kept playing and eventually spent $300 to collect enough points for it. However, I noticed a staff member watching me closely as I won, almost as if he didn't like that I was succeeding. I brushed it off and continued playing. The next day, I came back because I wanted to get another big Pokémon, Espeon, but it was already claimed. I spoke to the manager, Jessica (I think that was her name), who said she only had Flareon available for 35 points. I focused on winning enough prizes to get Flareon, but then I saw it placed on a shelf labeled as 40 points, which made me lose interest. I found a claw machine that was much easier to win from, so I kept playing that one. It had a capybara coin pouch as a prize, which didn't attract many players since everyone else was after plush toys. However, the same staff member (short hair with glasses) kept staring at me, making me uncomfortable. Eventually, he asked another staff member to stand in front of the machine, blocking people from playing it. He later emptied that machine to prevent anyone from playing anymore. Is there a policy against winning too much? I had spent around $500 over the two days, so I figured redeeming a couple of big Pokémon plush toys shouldn't be an issue. When I finally gathered around 30 points, I showed interest in a Cyndaquil, but there wasn't a price sticker on it. I asked another staff member how many points it required, and after checking with the manager Jessica, he said it was 35 points. I bought another $20 in tokens, and once I had enough prizes for 35 points, I went back to redeem Cyndaquil. This time, the same manager told me it was 40 points. I was frustrated because she had just said it was 35! So, I bought $30 more in tokens. I asked the manager if I could get a stamp (if you spend $50, you get 1 point stamp; $100 gets you 2 stamps) since I had spent $50, but she said it had to be in the same transaction. I thought that was odd since it was still $50 spent overall. In the end, I played enough to redeem Cyndaquil for 40 points. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Craft Land if you're hoping to win a lot of prizes. The staff seemed to hover over me when I won, making the experience uncomfortable. While some employees were friendly and helpful, others took their roles too seriously and showed annoyance when customers won. The manager wasn't very welcoming either and frequently changed the point system, leading to confusion. I'd suggest checking out Claw Wonderland across the street instead. The staff there are much friendlier, and I had a better chance of winning without feeling scrutinized. read more

Went to china town and my family but once we started wining a whole lot they told us they can sell us any more token, the manager said every time we come here we take way to many plushies and that he thinks we're selling them, he discriminated against us for winning to much we didn't even empty a machine just won't about 10-20 plushies I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're ready to fight for your refund like we did today read more

New addiction unlocked!! When I first heard about claw arcades, I thought people were crazy but to find a place where I can actually win some adorable plushies has got me hooked! My family typically spends about $30 a visit here and we leave with about 14 plushies which is approximately a 50% win rate. For me, that's impressive since I probably have had a win rate with claw machines of less than 5%. You can trade in plushies for any on their shelves or trade in for points to save for later trade-ins. Also, if you get a plushie from the machine, you can actually trade it in for another one in the same machine!!! I've only been to 1-2 other ones but this one has me hooked! Fun for families, couples, friends and singles - everyone! read more

Good place for entertainment. Its located in the centre of chinatown. Such a good place for hangout

Flash back to when I was a kid spending all my quarters at the claw machines. Great date night idea for the first timers. But great for a group of friends too. They mix up the goodies if you ask them to which is very sweet of the employees. You'll definitely leave with a handful of goodies or a backpack worth (bags are free). You can trade in your stash for a bigger item. All fun and games. Will definitely be back again! read more

Craft Land - Their interior - Arcades Near Me - Houston, Texas

I visited this spot 2nd during a recent visit to some new businesses in Chinatown. Once you walk up the steps onto the 2nd floor, it's 2 doors down from the business directly in front of the steps. I was able to get my first plush within a couple times, so pretty easy I would say. The difference is this space isn't as large as the other popular one and requires twice as many coins, but you receive 2 tokens for every dollar. Basically they're the same price per play in the long run. Maybe the best part about the playing is the trade in at the end of your play for some nicer plush. The best deal is to exchange more money for tokens since you receive bonus tokens and special coins. They do have a special right now for a free plush with a Google review. read more

Craft Land - This is a really cool and beautiful place and plus its incredibly affordable and the plushies are sooo cuteee - Arcades Near Me - Houston, Texas

The service was pretty great. The place is very clean. There's a lot of options for one token. They also sell cups for points as well.

"Conveniently" located two doors down from Claw Mania, Craft Land is another claw arcade. There's a mix of machines with mini and typical sized plushies. $20 gives you roughly 40 coins and each of the usual machines uses 2 tokens, making it $1/play. YMMV but so far Craft Land has the best win rates in my experience. On average the claws have pretty strong grip making it possible to win multiple times from the same machine. Pushing it up above Claw Mania and all of the others around Houston. read more

We spent $30 and got 11 plushies. Really really really great win rates. Super nice staff. They are super fair which is fantastic. I usually would never leave a review for a claw place but this place is awesome and the win rates are very highly appreciated read more

Never been to a claw machine arcade before and I'm glad that this was my first time! I spent $30 and ended up getting 10 plushy toys which I think was definitely worth it! I went on a Friday evening around 720. It was quite crowded however it was still doable. it was pretty hot inside, but I definitely had a fun time! I would come back. read more

Craft Land - Arcades Near Me - Houston, Texas

Unfortunately have been coming here for a while and collecting plushies to trade in and finally came back with a certain amount to be told " we can't accept them once you leave the store " we have been here multiple times and never once been informed of that rule nor did we know you get a point card that keeps track of your plushies. Won't be back now wasted a lot of time and money. read more

This is a great example of a business that reinvent itself to make sure they stay in business and capitalize on the success of its neighbor's overflow of business. It is a direct competition of the next door, the place is busy on the weekend and it can get crowded on the inside, they are really fast at exchanging your money and refilling the machine. Given how busy it is you have a better chance of catching a prize there. read more

This was perfect for the kids! They have a good assortment of stuffies to choose from!

This locate right above kungfu tea. It's small, and the AC is not strong so it can get hot easily. Cute and quality plushie. 1 coin to play and that equals $1. Overall, three stars bc it's small and AC not strong but I would come back. read more

I bought $100 worth of coins, when I begun to win plushies to trade up to a big one. The staff decided to empty the machine I was using and turned it off. Because "it was letting me win too many times". When I asked for a refund for the remaining coins they refused. Don't spend your money here. GO NEXT DOOR!!! read more

Good Prices and cute rewards!! will definitely recommend for a girls night or family time. There's also great restaurants around the area.

I love this place so much! Though it costs 2 coins per play for the plushies, you're guaranteed a win if you're paying attention so you get your money's worth - unlike other places where each play costs just one coin but the grabbers are flimsy so you rarely ever win. You can keep your wins, trade them for bigger plushies, or trade them in for a punch card that shows your points so you can come back, earn more points and trade it all in for a bigger plushy. My friends and I had such a great time! I'll go back and definitively recommend going here over any of the others close by. read more

SCAMMERS!!! I wasted $60 and hours collecting 24 bears to trade for 4 'Sonny Angels,' and they turned out to be FAKE! The quality is awful, and it's obvious they lied about the prizes. How dare you trick people like this? If you can't give real Sonny Angels, don't advertise them! You're stealing money from people and wasting their time. This is beyond disgusting and unacceptable. DO NOT PLAY HERE--they're liars and scammers! read more

Super cute and fun time with a good variety of prizes! I'll definitely be coming back to win some more!

This is my favorite claw arcade in Houston. Prizes are of great quality and the majority of the prizes are super cute! We usually come out of here with a bag full every time because we just want to keep them all. You can also trade in any unwanted prizes for points. Pricing is fair and reasonable here. All machines are two tokens per play which is super affordable. You can get 100+ coins for $50 PLUS 1 extra point for the spend. I think it's 130 coins but don't quote me on that because I don't recall exactly lol. Staff is super kind and friendly every time I have been here. Trade up options for prizes are pretty decent too! I definitely feel like I get the best value here and it's more suitable for bringing a group of kids for this reason. read more
