    This place recently opened up in Fair Oaks so I decided to try it out. It's right next to The Guild and Dick's Sporting Goods on the 1st floor if you can't seem to find it. Surprisingly I have never seen a place where it's just entirely filled with claw machines. We have places like Dave and Busters & Round 1 that do feature those machines but not purely just those cabinets by themselves. Inside you'll see a touchscreen monitor that you can pay to get coins to use to play the claw machines with. It's like 1$ for 1 play pretty much. You get more if you spend more of course so essentially the best option and costly too. The claw machines feature lots of stuffed animals and some were really cute. I wasn't there for too long but I ended up getting a cute plush after playing a cab for a few minutes. It's a great spot for kids to enjoy since the sheer excitement of just winning one is convincing alone. I can't really say about the staff because I didn't interact with them but they seem really nice and was able to be helpful for the people that went up to them. Would I come back? I don't see why not. I would love for them to add some Sanrio products to the claw machines. I'd spend the whole day getting one of each.

    My son and I had a blast here. We are big fans of claw machines. Each claw machine is two tokens. And the smaller ones are one token. They have such a variety! We are definitely coming back!

    As far as clawmachines go, these are pretty fair. I LOVE clawmachines and I stopped by the Fairfax mall just for Kako Claw. I was worried about rigged machines in most malls, but these were great. I spent $20 and got 3 plushies. I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area again. The free bag was also really cute and convient if you want to keep walking around the mall.

    This is a fun little claw arcade spot. The plushies in the machines are super adorable. But... definitely on the pricy side, $1 per token and takes 2 tokens per play. If you are lucky, you may be able claw enough small ones to exchange for a bigger one under $50-$100. However, sometimes the value of happiness can not be measured using dollars when financially permitted Definitely recommend to check this spot out when in the mall. @winedinenvacay

    This place is so cute! It's right by The Guild, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Coldstone Creamery. I saw some videos on social media and decided to stop by here to check it out. You can purchase tokens to play the games- some are 2 or 3 tokens each. As someone who usually sucks at crane/ claw games, these ones are super easy to get! I got one on my first try. Some claws have a lot of rocking back and forth when moving towards the drop slot, so keep that in mind when trying to get some of the plushies. The more tokens you get, the better deal. $10 for 10 tokens $20 for 20 tokens $50 for 55 tokens And more! Check it out if you can. You also get a complimentary drawstring bag to carry your plushies, and the staff are super nice. The main issue that I have with this place is that most of the plushies aren't the "official" plushies of certain brands, like Pokémon and Sanrio.

    Claw machines in the DMV?! Sign me up! I saw this place on TikTok, and as claw machine lovers, my partner and I had to stop by while in NOVA. There's a decent amount of claw machines with cute plushies ^w^. Things I liked about this store: - they have a point system where you could trade small plushies you win for bigger ones - the staff are friendly and helpful, giving you tips and even rearranging plushes if you ask or they notice you struggling - they have little pink shopping carts to help you hold your plushies and tokens - the tokens shoot out of the machine super fast when purchasing - they provide free drawstring bags to help you bring home your wins We spent $50 and were able to score 3 plushies. Each play was 2 tokens. Not super practical obv since you could probably buy them for a lot cheaper online, but some other places you might not even win at all.

    Amazing cute prizes!

    Still love this place and the staff but a little disappointed with the selection of plushies. The management should really check out the prizes at other claw arcades like Round 1 or watch some YouTube videos. The machines should also be kept filled and the plushies should be fluffed so they look more appealing. People would play more if these slight improvements are made.

    I absolutely love this place and come here often. The atmosphere is really reminiscent of our trip to Japan; the fond memories of the claw games always brought a thrill whenever we visited them. The machines are fair and the employees are always willing to help and answer questions. There is a great selection of prizes that include anime figures (Dragonball, One Piece, Naruto, etc.) from Banpresto/Bandai that are placed in 3 machines. I would say it's definitely the only reason to come to an otherwise partially vacant Fair Oaks Mall.

    I'd give it 3.5 stars. I got the Trio package for our 3 boys that included a round of mini golf,…read more$15 in arcade game credits and a round of laser tag. The arcade games are pretty expensive and they blew through the $15 in less than 15 mins. The mini golf course was short and compacted on the main floor so the courses were not as fancy or intricate as some larger outdoor mini golf courses. The boys finished all 18 holes in less than 30 mins all by themselves. The laser tag was fun too. The vests were pretty big and heavy and it looked so big our littlest guy but he held his own. It seemed crowded when the summer camp group of kids were there, but when they all left, it wasn't crowded at all. Coming from LA, where anything fun is crowded, it was nice to not have to wait in long lines. We wanted to try the laser maze, but it wasn't working. The workers were all teenagers, and the manager guy looked maybe early 20's but they were all helpful. It was fun to spend a couple hours in the hot afternoon being indoors.

But they loved it, especially the gigantic green monster that would occasionally pop up and tower over the course. There are many different packages you can purchase. I ended up going with the combo golf and arcade package. It was a fairly good deal and I knew there was no way I would be getting out of this place without my kids playing a few rounds of Air Hockey and Skee-ball. I also enjoy a good arcade game myself. Some of the games, not all of them, dispense digital tickets. We managed to collect enough to get some fun toys including a spider that would crawl down a wall and an ice cream cone where you can launch the ice cream right off. My son thought this was the best invention ever! Overall, our time here was spectacular. We can't wait to visit again!

    Pizza is SO MUCH BETTER than it was many years ago. I also had the bone in hot honey wings...YUCK!…read moreI asked for extra crispy, but didn't get it that way. They are fatty under the slimy skin. Never again. The place is clean tho, which is nice, and it seems the games all work. They do have the "adventure" thing which is just an enclosed obstacle course which the kids loves but it comes with an extra cost which sucked. They occasionally have an employee "guarding" that area because u need a red armband to get in. But honestly my kids were playing in there for 20min before being spotted and told they had to leave or have their parents pay. The bathroom is clean but beware of the water as it comes out strong and will soak your shirt because it's aimed at a weird angle. Also the automatic hand dryer stops after about 3-5sec which is useless and irritating. OVERALL, I will come back. Oh...maybe turn the music down a bit. It gave me a slight headache cuz it was so darn loud.

Games that used to give out 100 tickets were changed to only give out 25 max, and scores that used to reward 10 or more tickets now only rewarded 1. My daughter was very disappointed as she was able to get much less in prizes than usual. Despite it being a busy weekend day, they were also very understaffed which caused service to be very slow. Next time we go to Chuck-e-cheese, we will try another location (in the hopes that it will be much better). If not better, that will probably be our last visit.
