This is not my first time at a claw machine establishment but I truly enjoyed it like all the others I have visited. First, the employee (owner?) at the front was absolutely the sweetest. Explaining everything to my friend since it was her first time trying a place like this. It's a great place to waste an hour with friends or family. Kids would absolutely enjoy it. It is small, smaller than any other claw arcade I've been to but their point system is better than others I have seen. You have 2 options: 1. Keep your prizes 2. Trade in your prizes for a better prize behind the counter. Including but not limited to Pokemon cards and the current popular needohs. Not sure if they have a point system where you can turn in your plushies and save points, I didn't ask, but if I were local that would be an awesome option. Need help with a machine, they oblige you in any way they can. Making it easy for the smallest to oldest person playing. The establishment is cute, love their little stuffed animal photo op in the front. I would say if anything a better range of toys that are popular would have been more enticing to spend extra coin. Would totally come back! read more

Store owner (I believe) was soooo friendly and amazing !! He taught us how to play specific games that weren't claw machines and overall the vibes were fun! Shop had amazing music and good clean vibes and the prices were super affordable! I kept wanting to play! 1 Token per play would come back here! read more

Galaxy Claw - Arcades Near Me - Riverside, California

Claw machine arcade, near the Riverside Plaza. This is more than just "win what you can grab in a machine." Galaxy Claw both let's you trade prizes from specific machines AND there are prizes you can trade up to. Specific Machines: If you grab ANYTHING from a specific game, ask the staff here if you want to trade for another plush from that game. This means you should always try to get the easiest plushie in a machine, not the one you want most. Prize Counter: You can trade plushies you get from different machines, for larger prizes from the prize counter. If you want a bigger prize, you've got work to do! PROPS: It's clear the staff cares about this location, and wants to give people a great experience SLOPS: It's kind of a strange location to find, but once you know where it is it's not hard to get to read more

We visited Galaxy Claw Riverside in February 2025 and had a wonderful time! Price: 1 token per play. Affordable token packages and they also have monthly plan Claw Machines: they have a variety of keychain and medium size claw machines. They also have different games like the spinning clip and 10 second game. I felt the claw strength was very fair and the claws have grips, which is a good sign. Prize Trade Wall: Wide selection of plushies, blind boxes, anime figures, PopMart, Labubu and I think I even saw a Nintendo Switch 2! You can trade you plushie in for points and you can save up over multiple visits Customer Service: Their staff and owners are very friendly! They walk around and restock the machine and customers if they need help. If there's a certain prize that you're trying to win, you can ask them to help reposition the plushie I did a $20 challenge (22 tokens) and was able to win 8 plushies, which is way above average compared to other claw arcades in California! Definitely check out Galaxy Claw Riverside if you're ever in the area! read more

Cute and perfect little date idea! We got finished eating frozen yogurt across the street and wanted to have a cute activity!!! Once you come in you get greeted by Jesus who was the owner of the place! Tokens were cheap and one coin was per machine and owner can switch the prizes as long as it's from the same machine! The plushy wall was adorable and really perfect for a picture! It was a small claw machine place but the vibes and prizes were worth it! Owner gave us tips and tricks on how to make it easier for us! They have labubus for trading, skull pandas, and bigger and cute prizes! Will come back again when I'm out here again! read more

We drove all the way from South LA to come visit this place. Smaller than we had anticipated, but the kids had fun. Great business owner, very knowledgeable, gave us pointers on how to use to the claw machines, and was very accommodating with swapping out plushies for different ones that were won from the same machine. A good hour to spend for some quality fun especially if you have kids. read more

Kids had a great time! Owner was super sweet and helped our kids win more toys. We will be back.

This place is every kid's dream and honestly... kind of fun for adults too If your kids love claw machines, this arcade is a total win. The machines are bright, clean, and actually winnable (which is huge). Tons of cute plushies, toys, and prizes that kids genuinely get excited about not the usual sad keychains you see elsewhere. The atmosphere is super kid-friendly: clean floors, good lighting, and a safe layout where parents can relax while the kids play. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially when little hands needed help redeeming prizes or figuring out machines. We loved that kids could walk away feeling successful instead of frustrated. Perfect spot for: Birthday outings Weekend fun Quick reward after a good week We'll definitely be back. Just be warned: your kids will NOT want to leave read more

Galaxy Claw - Arcades Near Me - Riverside, California

We made a visit yesterday, It is a smaller arcade but we loved it and it was perfect for my autistic son. The galaxy and planets theme was sooo cute. We were having trouble winning a plushy that my son wanted, the employee was nice enough to show us some tips and tricks to win! He even took the time to set up a plushy so my son could easily win it after losing a few times. Best costumer service! We will be back :) read more

My wife, 10-year-old son, and I were passing by after a Halloween party and were told Galaxy Claw is giving out 5 free tokens to whomever walks in wearing a Halloween costume. We were all wearing a costume, so we were given 15 free tokens and won 3 prizes! What made it even friendlier is that the man running the store WANTED us to win and offered to rearrange the toys in the claw machine to achieve better results, and he did! Multiple times! This is a great business and plan to return to actually spend money here! :) read more

Super fun experience with our family! Workers were so helpful and our girls loved the prize options!

Customer service was amazing. Such friendly people who work there. Such a fun experience! Highly recommend!

This is the BEST claw machine arcade around. The owner is so nice and attentive to his customers. He accommodates smaller children by providing a stool so they can play any machine. He also provides vouchers so whatever prizes you win can be traded in that night for a ticket. That ticket can be used the next time you come in so you can work up to the bigger prizes. Overall, it's a great place to have some fun with your family & friends! Would definitely recommend!!! read more
