I love this place! I usually get $60 for 75 tokens and every machine is 1 token. Thats such a good…read moredeal because the machines aren't rigged. If they are they are doing a good job letting people win most of the time. I think there were a few machines at time I had to try 8 times and gave up because I couldn't pick up the plushie. But usually one token I get one plushie. This place is absolutely addictive but I like it over other places because you can upgrade your plushies for bigger ones at the front desk. It's such a nice treat because if we have a bunch of little ones we don't want, and a big one we do like better, it's worth it. I leave with at least one big plushie that I exchange for 8 medium plushies, and a few more medium plushies. Total I take home each trip 1 big plushie, and 3-6 medium to little plushies. Other claw machine places I feel cheated because you either have to put a bunch of coins in to play once, or the plushies aren't easy to grab. This place is not only affordable, but you put one coin for each machine for one play. It's really fair and wants you to win. The cherry on top is the plushie upgrade exchange after you're done playing. I come here at least once a month because it's really fun

I would call this a hidden gem in Torrance. I had heard about it, but finally decided to visit…read more Best part, it's free. No charge. It's located in the civic center, in the back, so you can't see it off of the street. It's almost a game of hide and seek, where you need to find it. Even when I did finally find it, I wasn't sure I was at the right place or if it was even open. However, I was not disappointed when I finally walked inside. It's a teeny place. More like a gallery than what I would call a museum. Open floor plan. Great art though. An eclectic collection of paintings and mixed media when I visited. There were a couple other parties viewing the artwork. Not crowded. Parking: Free lot.

The line had around 50 people in it, but the wait was only 10-15 minutes which is the same wait time as a ride at knotts so it's not that bad. This maze was SUPER SUPER SUPER scary!!! I was screaming and grabbing on my Bf's shirt the whole time! The optical illusions and the scary people mixed with the darkness was beyond creepy! I can't believe I thought it was going to be a kid maze!!! There were grown men screaming behind me and the woman behind me peed in her pants. It's not overwhelmingly nerve wrenching or anxiety ridden; it's exciting. I'll definitely be dragging my friends here next year ;) Tip: $5 donation is appreciated, but not necessary ;)

I do appreciate art. The space is small, but i was expecting more exhibits. Since the visit was timed, it was nice not having to rush while taking fun selfies and welfies. The caviar tin can ball pit felt a little dirty which was expected. Note: it is a little challenging (and comical) getting out of that ball pit! Staff member was really friendly. The exhibit ends at Del Amo mall soon and is moving to another location.

It's a small venue , good to take a few pictures for memories and not much else.. My kids all mentioned how short this visit were for them and they expect to see more art pieces. I did want to acknowledge the employees. I wish I could recall their names . Both ladies , were friendly , energetic and constantly smiling. They volunteered to help us with taking pictures.

Everything here is really quality and there are so many different genres so there is something to love for everyone. It's located in a small shopping center so there is a free parking lot attached in front. The man behind the counter who I interacted with was very polite and I enjoyed speaking to him, he also mentioned that they buy toys back from people they sell too, so it really is a community and shop. I would say pricing is fair and I was able to find some really unique one off items as well as some blind boxes. This is more for the collector and someone who can appreciate things versus children, however, there would be things for kids, too, it's just for those who can appreciate the items. I would suggest and plan to be back again.

I assume he was the owner of the shop but he was kind, informative and answered any questions we had!

Strolling through the small-town vibes of downtown torrance is a delight. Keep in mind it can get a little warm at times so I reccommend wearing a hat to keep cool.

I score amazing pieces each time. Prices for Jewlery can range from $1 to $1k+ In regards to parking, it can be a bit tricky since its mainly residential parking available but I always manage to find parking near El Prado park.
