Claw Machines here Claw Machines there they are everywhere I'm guessing they have about 40-50 of them all of which have fun and unique prizes to win! A few of them create more of a challenge where you have to pick up a ball and then drop it in its right section to win making for a harder unique challenge! Some of the machines have food you can win which I always love to see as it's more fun to win things that aren't always stuffed animals. They have an assortment of random things to buy here as well which is kinda cool because some of the products are here to find here in the states. Overall this is an awesome Claw Machine arcade in the middle of the mall so do yourself a favor and just PLAY THE CLAW MACHINE! read more

Gatcha!!! Absolutely loved this place! I came with my boyfriend around 3 PM on a Saturday, and we had such a fun time. The whole vibe gave me that nostalgic feeling--just like the gatcha arcades in Japan. I only wish it was bigger! The U.S. seriously needs to get with the program when it comes to these kinds of spots. They had such a cool variety--Labubu figures, Skullpandas, Pokémon cards, and a bunch of other collectibles. Heads up though: if you're trying to trade your plushies for the higher-tier prizes, it can get pretty pricey. I ended up spending around $150 without even realizing it. Still, it was totally worth it for the experience, and I'll definitely be back (but a little more financially prepared next time lol). Really hoping they bring bigger locations down to Florida--preferably Miami! read more

Gatcha - Gatcha!!! - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Gatcha is one of my all time favorite places to go for blind boxes and to fill my crane machine fix! This clawcade is located inside the Florida Mall right next to the Crayola Experience and Dick's Sporting Goods. This spot has a plethora of kawaii and anime plushies and figurines. It is also one of the few spots around Orlando that sells authentic Pop Mart Labubus which is of course very hard to find now a days. Gatcha has a point system where you could trade in your plushies you won that day for points to use towards their blind box selection. They also have an honor system where if you spend a certain amount on a game card and don't win...they'll still give you a free plushie so that way you don't leave empty handed ... which is truly such a nice gesture! Definitely check this spot out on your next trip to the Florida Mall. It's a great place to spend some time with the fam! read more

No idea how this place gets such good reviews at least with respect to the claw machine side. Each machines uses 6-9 credits which is really high priced. The machines themselves will grip and pick up the toy of choice then drop it before reaching the chute. We won one small toy only because the tag got caught. Extremely disappointing for a child who has previously gone to much better claw machine places. Do not recommend. read more

used to be such a great place, i've come here on multiple occasions since they first opened. now it's over $2-3 PER TRY. don't be fooled by the pricing. on top of that the machines are rigged like CRAZY, with $20 ZERO prizes, tried two machines consistently and didn't reach payout with that. same story the last time i was there, unfortunately they stayed disappointing. insane. read more

Love coming here, we got a smiski we really wanted here!! It was pretty busy but enjoyed coming read more

I have visited the crane machine place in Waterford Lakes but this place seemed so much better. The machines seemed to be slightly easier to actually win something. The front has a store that you can purchase items as well. The environment is a bit noisy and when I visited there seemed to be a large group in the ball pool and climbing area. I don't think this is an extended experience but I think you could easily kill an hour here playing and watching. read more

love coming to gatcha SNACK as you always win something. There is a game for everyone in the family. Lots of fun in one place! The regular gatcha used to be good where you always won something but now they have made the claws so weak with 25 tokens you won't be able to win anything. So disappointed read more

Overall, it was fun! The music and vibe inside was perfect. It reminded me a bit of the claw machine buildings in Japan. I attended during their grand opening weekend so it was busy, but it wasn't packed! The staff were nice and respectful. The people inside, the guests, were also nice and didn't push or take over machines. Everyone waited for their turn. We purchased our ticket or admission online through Eventbrite. They had run out of the keychains as part of the promotion but we were provided with a backup option, which was okay. I don't watch the show the character is from so I'll give it away. It would have been nice to select a keychain of my choice since I bought a promotion that included a JJK keychain. Some of the machines had issues for me and a friend! The staff was trying to fix it and did their best, but were unsuccessful. I was unable to play the machine and plush I wanted to win because it wasn't working with my card. The staff was apologetic and gave me one free play on the machine (I didn't win it during the one play). We got 120 credits ($35) each for the promotion and I ended up buying 62 more credits ($25). We only ended up winning a key chain and a Kirby plush. I'm a little saddened we were not able to win more with SO many credits. NOTE: I just found out after I left that if you don't win and spend $25 you get a plush regardless. I left with no plush for the $25 I spent. It isn't written on anything in the store. I read other reviews. Parking: No issues! I suggest parking close to Dick's Sporting Goods. It's right inside the main there. read more

I love the concept of this place! I wanted to take my son to an arcade and this place popped up under my searches. My son and I are big fans of claw machines and Gatcha is the perfect place to have some fun! Located inside the mall near Dick's sporting goods, Gatcha is a spacious play area. You simply can't walk past it and not go in. They offer toys and plushies for you to purchase and they also have a play area for the smaller kiddos. We purchased a play card at the kiosk near the entrance and began our claw machine extravaganza. They have many options and the prizes are good quality. I would definitely take your kids here, they'll have a blast! read more

Awesome spot to try some claw games. There is one where the prizes are snacks and one for plushies and toys. The card you get at the plushie ones cant be used at the food one which I think they should change so you can switch between both. read more

Gatcha - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place is an absolute hidden gem! Our flight home on Spirit got delayed (of course) so we ended up with a few hours to kill. We visited the Florida Mall and upon seeing the playground in this place we knew we had to try it out. It's a little pricey at $16 for 30 minutes per child but the playground is EPIC. It reminds me of the Discover Zone playgrounds from the 90s and had my millennial heart on fire! The gachapon machines are also very fun. Students and teachers get 10 free tokens per day, and I was actually able to use that to win both my kids a small plush. Everything was very clean, and the little socks they give you for the playground are actually very cozy and cute. The price prevents me from giving Gatcha 5 s, but we will def be coming back! read more

We're on vacation and made a day trip to the Crayola experience. After we were done with that, we noticed Gatcha and all of their fun crane games right outside the Crayola exit. We actually had this bookmarked since we love crane games soo much. There was a sign outside that had a promotion. If you spend $25 and don't win anything, you'll get a medium prize for free. Say no more fam, with 2 daughters we loaded a card with $50. This got us 175 credits, and each game ranges 3-15 credits depending on the size of the prize. Lenny and Mercedes were there to help us through the whole experience as we played through the store. They were so amazing, and my daughters loved them. Mercedes even took them around the store and let them play some games for free. The girls had so much fun with her. Lenny also took some pictures for their instagram too. The girls felt like celebrities and got so many plushies to bring back to NY. Added bonus, Lenny recommended some great lunch spots for us. We enjoyed amazing pho after this. This place isn't huge, but the staff makes it feel welcoming. They said that a 2nd store is opening in the mall! I guess it's really popular. Wish we had one in NY! 5/5 highly recommend read more

Gatcha - Crane machine - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place is a Crane Game Addict's heaven. Found this place on the way to the bathroom at The Florida Mall and couldn't help myself. I may need CGAA... xD Their customer service is great. If you catch a plushie, you can trade it for another plushie in the same crane! like if you like a different plushie more than the one you caught or the one you got is misshapen or whatever, they will give you a better one in the crane. They will also offer to move plushies around in the crane to help you win it!! It helps a lot! If you catch 7 plushies, they will give you a cute canvas Gatcha tote bag to put your plushies in. (See pic) If you purchase $25 of tokens and you don't catch anything, you will not leave empty handed, just let the attendant know and they will give you a plushie. If you spend $50 and don't catch any plushies, they will give you two plushies. If you only catch one, they will give you the second one. Basically, for every $25, you get 1 guaranteed plushie. Don't play the ping pong ball drop ones. It is a waste of money and needless frustration. Those are not skill games. Those are based on luck. Very bad odds for those. Same for the game that is a single claw and you need to make the box drop. That one takes many attempts to get the box to fall. I have played so many crane games of different sorts that I kind of have it down to a science. See below... ===Tips for cranes:=== Choose a plushie that is not buried in the pit. Choose one that is sitting on top of all the other plushies and is not being held down by anything or even touching it on its sides. The friction against the other plushie is enough to keep the plushie from getting picked up. Or it gets in the way of the claw closing correctly around the plushie you want to pick it up. Aim for the largest/heaviest section of the plushie, ensuring that all three prongs will wrap around the plushie. You do not want to be too far from the middle. The plushie will fall out of the claw if it is not centered right. Do a test run. Or.. wait around and watch other people play them first. Learn from their mistakes. See if the crane claw twists as it descends. This will tell you if you need to position the claw differently. Sometimes you catch the plushie and it picks up but when the claw hits the top it falls out. That slight jarring knocks the claw open just enough to make the plushie fall back down. If you notice your crane do this 3x, stop playing that crane. Personally, I will let the clock run down and it drop the claw on its own rather than me pressing the button to drop the claw. Also gives me time to look at it from both sides of the crane to see that I am centered where I want to be. I've had more success with doing this. I could just be weird. Lol. Give it a try. It's fun. Gatcha has some really cute plushies. They have good quality ones. Even Sanrio and Pokémon ones. Not the generic/cheap ones you see in the cranes in other arcades. read more

My first time visiting Gatchaland at the Florida mall. My 9 year old loved it! I paid $25 for 50 tokens and she was able to play a good amount of games. Everyone was super nice and helpful! Hannah, Quang, and Alex were working the day I went and all were super amazing. We walked away with at least 4 bags of treats and 2 drinks all for $25. They also do birthday parties. read more

If u plan to come here only for the claw machine then you will be greatly disappointed. They set it really high. We couldn't get one thing. We were only able to get anything because we played the ping pong game and got lucky. The labubu price here is super high too. If u have money to throw around this place is good. read more

Place is such a scam! All the machines are rigged, absolutely absurd they can operate like this. If your kids can play in the play area then it's good for that. But under no circumstances put any money in the games. These scumbags should be ashamed of themselves for doing that to kids games for $.50 cent toys. read more

We went to this place and it was so much fun! The workers were so nice and friendly. We came in a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't packed , there were like 4 other people here at the time. You have so many machines to choose from and all so unique. I loved that they have sweet and salty treats along with toys as well for all ages there is a wide selection of goodies. This is such a cute date night or even taking some friends before you have a nice dinner . It's such a fun activity and I wish there were some of these where I live . I like that they play soothing music and the ambiance is so chill. It is very reasonably priced as well you can get 20 coins for $10 for example. My bf got something and they were so nice and they asked if we wanted to switch flavors which we did and I'm glad because I'm not a fan of peach and chocolate . Just a heads up , every machine is around 3-4 coins. read more

I can't say that I was truly impressed by this place. Technically, they have two locations at this time in the mall. If you are not familiar with them, they are an Asian based claw machine game company. This is not like normal claw machines that you may have seen at other stores. Some of the things you can win are fairly high. The price for tokens feels a bit high, but considering what you can win I guess it makes some sense. I was drawn in by some stitch that I wanted to see what they look like. This was in the store section where they just sell some things along with a lot of collectible style toys. The machines themselves hold a wide range of toys and collectibles and some food items. They also have a children's play area that you pay to use. We did like some of the collectibles, but in the end we didn't purchase anything if you are really into these types of places then you will probably enjoy it but otherwise, it's probably not gonna be where you want to visit. You could conceivably spend a lot of money really quickly here. read more

Super dope snack shop with interactive prize machines. Variety of snacks & drinks. Check out Gatcha for your next challenging snack grab!

Dropped $50 and didn't win a thing. Plenty of other people had prizes so guessing we were just duds, but all in all it was fun. Would've been nice if the machines had even number credits (vs decimals). Ended up with an odd amount of credits left and gave it to a kid to add to their card. Fun time. But maybe I should've done more research on how to win toys. read more

One of the only reasons I still come to the Florida mall. I love the concept of a crane game spot like this. It reminds me of my trip to Japan and how Gotcha games and shops like these are extremely common here. The prizes are of good quality and are of desirable toys like Pokémon or Sanrio characters. The games are pretty easy to win. The claws don't seem like they've been loosened to much to avoid legitimate wins. The staff here are friendly and kind. The prices are fair $10 for 24 tokens, which gets about 8 plays. I usually play the small keychain game in the front of the shop. It's my favorite and had the best win ratio (in my opinion). read more

Read a REAL experience. Our family went on a Sunday. There are 2 places...one with food/snacks and one with toys. You have to buy tokens. The food one had bored staff and machines were barely stocked. I won a soda and our daughter won nothing. $20 In tokens. Went to the toy one. Another $10 in tokens. Barely stocked machines and ,again, nothing. Many items you can buy straight out but they're super overpriced. I've won more stuff at Dave and Buster's or District. read more

Fun place and won a lot of plushies would go here again! Kind and friendly customer service!

Gatcha is a UFO Catcher claw machine shop located next to a video game arcade inside of the Florida Mall, by the Dicks Sporting Goods. It took us a while to find it because it is not on the mall map or listing. The shop is dark, all the overhead lights are off, so you can feel the excitement of the claw machines glowing. There was no AC when I was there, so it was unbearably hot inside. The shop was quite crowded, and all of the good machines were taken. Like other reviews have noted, and from what I noticed, about half of the toys in the machines are bootleg. You can clearly see which toys are fake vs real, so just choose your machines accordingly. The machine that I wanted was full of Kuromi, but there was a line. It would be great if they added actual Gatchapon machines, so it would be worthy of being called Gatcha then. Maybe the shop should just be called UFO Catcher instead. If they added Purikura machines, it would definitely pickup some more business. read more
