Gave this place another try and really glad we did. Even from our first original visit, the staff member we met was very kind to our toddler, which always means a lot to us parents. We came to the Waikīkī location because we've loved the Las Vegas one so much, so we were excited to check it out. We got to learn more about their business, which made the experience feel more personal. They also have a system where you can trade in certain qualifying plushies for bigger prizes, which is a fun touch. The customer service truly goes above and beyond. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuine. They even give you a little pouch for your tokens (same like in Vegas) so you can keep all your tokens together. They have specials going on so you can also get the best bang for your buck. Most importantly, we had so much fun! Our toddler left happy with a few plushies; and that alone made it worth it. No need for a suitcase full, just a few smiles and we're good. Like the Las Vegas location, they give you a complimentary clear plastic drawstring backpack to tote your winnings in, which is always appreciated. Really glad we came back! Happy to say, just like in Vegas, this is a five star spot for us now. This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last. Note: they do validate parking if you're parked in the Target Parking Structure.

Fantasy Claw is low-key addicting in the best way If you've got even a little competitive spirit, be ready to get hooked. The machines actually feel winnable (which is rare), and the prizes are legit...way better than your typical arcade junk. Clean setup, good vibes, and perfect for killing time whether you're with kids or just acting like one. Pro tip: once you start winning, it's hard to stop. Definitely a fun little Waikīkī gem

I spent $60 and they gave me 30% more tokens. Games are 1-4 tokens depending on what you're playing. Claw machine games are so addictive but here you also could have a better chance of winning and the stuffies are really cute! I ended up initially winning 9 different things but traded 5 for a Snorlax. Loved it, staff were so friendly and accommodating and you can trade up in increments of 5 items won. Highly recommend if you're looking to get out of the heat or need a break from the beach!

FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!! Came in randomly on a Monday the kids saw the lights and the claw machines and immediately ran in. We got the $60 deal token, and it was so worth it. Everyone had fun. Adults too! We've gone to other claw machines places and we also play random claw machines at the malls, stores or wherever they have them. This place has got to be my favorite so far!!! Yoko was working when we came in and her costumer service is excellent!!! She made us feel so welcomed and she was so helpful! She made our play time here so much more enjoyable! Thank you for an amazing first time experience! We're already planning to come back again!

This place is so freaking adorable but you can blow money quickly (like with most claw games) but the staff was great and we did take home prizes. All the kids were having fun so I'd definitely recommend it

Fantasy Claw Arcade is really fun to do at night in Waikiki and my friends and I had a lot of fun. We're glad we stopped by! The token packages are really great and customer service was excellent!

At least our girl won a prize $30 care bear plush since this was her only prize after spending all her tokens.

If I could give this spot 0 stars I would. We've taken our kids to plenty of these places & this was by far the worse. Boba places give you better odds than this spot. We took our 5 year old and 10 year old here today as a treat post dinner. There was a single worker so getting help just to start off took a solid 10 minutes and that was just to purchase tokens and there was only 1 person ahead of us. We paid $60 for tokens so kids could play plenty of machines and come out with what we thought would be a couple of decent plushies and just have fun trying out the different claw machines. Again we've been to plenty of these arcades and usually come out with each of their bags filled for same budget of tokens, but not all arcades are equal so even a few wins would've been gre Think again, each kid won a single tiny keychain plush. A boba and a carebear. That was it. They prizes were overall bleh in the machines. Outdated Halloween theme plushies, temu-ish Pokémon, and assorted other unknown plush prizes. But that aside the thrill is really winning and not the actual prize a lot of the time right?! Welp the machines were awful, mismatched prizes inside machines where the claw was either too small to even open wide enough to grab a prize or too big that whatever it grabbed would just fall between the claw hands. Parents, save yourself the money and your kiddos some heartbreak and just take them to Dukes Lane and let them pick something to buy at one of those vendor carts. Luckily each kid won a prize and we just hyped them up so they wouldn't be as disappointed. If you're ever in SoCal we suggest ChibiClaws - A+ prizes and they even give you tips on how to play on the different machines to help. They're staffed well and make sure each kiddos leaves happy. I guess at tourist traps like Fantasy Claws at the International Marketplace they don't count on repeat business, so they're ok scamming. We visit Oahu often though and we for sure won't come back. You have been warned

Came here on a date night with my husband and we had such a great time! Most games were only 1-2 tokens, so very reasonably priced. We won multiple plushies and even a gift card, and the attendant was very kind and explained the process very well. I always wanted to come to a claw arcade and this was a great one to do so!

All our winnings from today, such a fun spot!!

Zhe H.

Fun, colorful claw machines with a good mix of prizes. Some take patience, but the wins feel satisfying. Easy to lose track of time and leave in a great mood

Fun arcade great for kids. Friendly environment, great for the family. Easy to win ! Will recommend

Very nice machines and high quality prizes. I appreciated the old-school coins you purchase to play instead of the cards. The claw games range from just 1 coin to 4 or more. The staff member Vanni was very helpful and her tips helped my niece win her first real Labubu. It's a great little activity and escape from all of the shopping and crowds in this mall area. read more

This place was such a fun little surprise. It is on the pricier side, but the experience kind of makes up for it--mostly thanks to the woman working there. She genuinely wanted people to win, which you don't see often in claw arcades. The group of adults ahead of us didn't win at first, and she actually encouraged them to give it another shot... even slipped them an extra coin. She did the same for the kids with us, which made their day. We spent about 30-40 minutes there and went through around $60 in coins. If you're in the area and looking for something different to do, it's definitely worth checking out. Fun vibes, friendly staff, and a little boost of luck never hurts. read more

Great location inside the international marketplace. The more you spend the bigger the discount on tokens. Most of the claws took a lot of tries to actually get something. I'd say 75% of the time we didn't get anything. There were a few times that the employee gave us a little "help" which was nice. There were a few machines out of order. It was clean but there was no air conditioning. read more

I went to Fantasy Claw Arcade for the first time today with my sister and my boyfriend, and we had a wonderful time thanks to Yoko! Unlike traditional claw arcades where you walk away with nothing after spending $100+ we ended up winning 20 small plushies to trade in for a larger one. There are a number of machines to choose from, all with different prizes like plushies, Labubus, and Pokemon Cards. Yoko was able to help us readjust some prizes in the machines that were difficult to get, making the experience much more enjoyable! We will definitely be back soon!! read more

Great for kids, the arcade has a variety of ticket-winning games and standard arcade games. The staff is pretty helpful and nice but don't expect too much in machine generosity. Sometimes you win, mostly the arm loses grip. But that's to be expected. There does seem to be a large variance in game prices though, with some just a bit expensive and some having you scratch your head. Don't expect deals here but be realistic about what it costs to play games here and you'll be ok.

We stayed for 30 min before going elsewhere Only standout moment were the bouncers. They were super nice and funny.

Lots of tables to cater for large groups and a bunch of dart machines available -- you do have to pay to play. There was no set menu and the bartender was nice to let us know that if we shoot her a name of a drink she can make it for us. I got a Midori Sour and it was perfect! Not super strong and more of a melon flavor. Price was decent at $15. I'd say make sure you know the names of a couple drinks beforehand. They did have a couple of specials with one being an "18 year old Filipino Girl"....Okay.... A bit of a weird crowd though with a couple creepy men, so come in a large group! There were a good amount of people in their 20-30s, but the ambiance wasn't giving after some instances.

Best of all the people who ran the shop were friendly and helpful. SELECTION: Pokemon and Magic the Gathering are plentiful here. They had more than most shops and a good selection of Japanese Pokemon. Sadly no Japanese MTG in stock, but a really good selection otherwise. SERVICE: Excellent! Very helpful staff and friendly.

We've…read morebeen here twice with our 6 kids and it's always been younger children playing which is a relief from the other location which allows older children and teens to participate on the second floor to which they do not always stay. The parking is good. It's fenced in which may seem suspicious but I'm sure it's an attempt to protect its customers and the business. This location had everything operating during our visit. The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the business is very clean. It's remarkably tidy in fact! Kudos to the staff. My kids enjoyed the slides the most. There is a lot for kids and toddlers to do here. There is one slide that I was concerned about where it's seemingly a straight drop but it's not but still my heart skips a beat when I think of a smaller child attempting to slide down it. So be warned. We visit during off hours where we nearly get the place to ourselves! And for anyone wondering, they do offer military discount! I would highly recommend this Keiki Kingdom Location above all.

We came here today and the sacks for the slide were missing so my daughter doesn't want to use the slide (her favorite) Next is the trampoline. We love to jump and throw the basketball and I asked the staff and they said they threw the balls away. I'm like okay then the ball machine that makes the balls float is broken too. When I talked to the staff about it they kinda just looked at me. They should let customers know on what's broken since we're paying full price thinking everything is available for use. I probably won't be taking my kids here until things get better. Super disappointed

My family and I had a great time at this claw arcade. Admittedly, I don't often frequent claw arcades because, quite frankly, I never win and always feel like I've spent money without anything to show for it. But, the experience at this Fantasy Claw Arcade was hands-down the best I've had, and I attribute that greatly to the kind employee working at the arcade. She was so encouraging and so welcoming and genuinely seemed to want everyone coming in to have a good time. I was with my young son, and she checked on us while we were there to make sure we won at least something, which we did. I wish I got her name because it's really employees like that who take an ordinary experience and make it so special and memorable. I don't know how claw machines work. The ones I've played always seem to drop my potential win before it makes it to the prize chute. But, we actually walked away from this Fantasy Claw Arcade with several nice stuffed prizes. And, they give you a cute little plastic bag to put your winnings. I recently went to another claw arcade (not Fantasy Claw Arcade) with my son elsewhere on the island, and we lost $20 in a matter of a few minutes. At Fantasy Claw Arcade at the International Marketplace, I felt we played for a much longer time and had a much more positive experience. If I have a hankering for going to a claw arcade, I'd pick Fantasy Claw Arcade in a heartbeat. Fun times and friendly customer service! read more

5/5 - Amazing Experience at Fantasy Claw Arcade Hawaii! Fantasy Claw Arcade Hawaii is such a fun hidden gem! The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine friendliness and made the whole experience feel welcoming. A huge perk for locals -- kamaʻāina get extra tokens, which was such a nice surprise and made our visit even better! The arcade has a great variety of plushies in the machines, from cute classics to trendy characters. What really stood out was how attentive and helpful the staff was. If any plushies were stuck or jammed together, the staff member would come over right away to re-fluff and reposition them, making sure we actually had a fair chance to win. It made the whole experience feel fun instead of frustrating. Overall, we had a fantastic time here. It's the perfect spot to stop by on a date night, especially if you want to kill some time before restaurant reservations or just enjoy something lighthearted and entertaining. Definitely worth checking out--we'll be back! read more

We walked in before they locked the door after closing, not knowing it was closed. The owner was extremely nice and professional and allowed us to stay and check out the machines and store, even letting us each play a game for free! So fun, def need to come back when they're actually open. :) read more
