Cute idea. Took my kids here for my son's birthday. The place was immaculately clean, well lit, and the attendant was very friendly. The concept is simple. Win plushes, trade them in for upgraded, larger plushes. The execution is simple, but I've got to say, they're charging way too much for this. You buy token packs, and they have a surcharge for card use. (which is likely in violation of their merchant agreement.) Basically, you're paying about seventy-five cents to a dollar per play for $1 toys. Yikes. The kids had fun, three kids, $50, gets you about fifteen minutes of enjoyment. Like I said, expensive entertainment. The games aren't terribly hard, but bad odds for the expense vs value. They will "fluff" the machines up if asked, but the machines they have give a herky jerk on the claw when it retracts which negates any skill aspect of the game. I'd guess 9:10 whatever you grab will be knocked loose on the claw retract.
The actual prizes in the machines are very very poor quality. Two prizes we won were unstitched right out of the machine. Two more tore within a day. The place has potential for sure, but their pricing needs looked at or the prize quality needs to go up if they want to be successful. read more
