    Seating area in the back where you can eat food. They let us decorate it for a surprise birthday party!

    Nova Claw is a great place for anyone who enjoys crane machines. The token prices are decent but what I really enjoyed about the business is the ability to trade in plushies for points for better/bigger prizes. Another plus is they have open seating area in the back where you can bring your own food/drinks to enjoy. We hosted a birthday party here and they let us decorate and bring our own food/drinks. The staff here is always super friendly and helpful, shoutout to Chris for the amazing service. I was about to get in on their VIP program before they raised the prizes but still a good deal since my friends and I go often! Overall I always have a fun time coming in the area. I did find the payout on the machines is a little on the higher side but with the ability to trade in for better prizes and prices for tokens makes this a 5/5 experience for me. If you have trouble getting a prize with machines after trying multiple times the staff is very friendly and can help (as long as it's not the labubu machine).

    Pretty big selection of claw machines and flexible prize options! Each machine needs a different number of coins per play, and there are listed difficulty levels for each machine for some degree of transparency. If you win a prize in a machine you can keep the prize, or ask the staff to either exchange them for a point that you can spend on big prizes later, or exchange that prize for a different prize within the same machine. The pricing was a little steep, but I still had a great time. At places like this, the staff is super important for a good customer experience and the staff here is great! Very helpful and nice, and can help adjust the positioning of the prizes in the machine to make it easier if you keep spending coins on a machine without winning. Thanks to the amazing staff I'd come back!

    New claw crane games to win prizes like labubus! They run specials and this month they were giving extra coins with purchase. Each game has a difficulty level however the lowest difficulty is still pretty difficult especially for a beginner. I recommend to go for the 2 star difficulty games and win the smaller plushies to swap for the higher end prizes like the labubus. The workers are very nice and will help adjust some of the prizes for you to try and get it. The only one they cannot really help with is the coke labubu game. (Tbh it's so difficult I wouldn't reccomend trying this because it's much easier to go for the 2 stars and collect plushies to swap them for the labubu) Unfortunately I wasn't able to win any prizes on my own but the workers do try their best to help you!

    High quality Sprigatito.

    My family had so much fun at Nova Claw when we were in the area. We were enjoying a cup of tea at Happy Lemon (which is amazing btw) when I noticed plenty of people walking around nearby shops with Nova Claw plushies. My son loves Sprigatito and wanted to see if he could win one for himself, so we decided to give them a go. What stood out to me most about Nova Claw is how different it feels from arcades of my youth. Instead of being dark or cramped, the space is bright, stylish, and comfortable. The claw machines are genuinely fun,m and my son managed to win both a penguin and a Sprigatito plushy. The prizes are higher quality than what you'd find at most fairs and arcades, which means they are a little denser and trickier for the claws to grab. That's fine by me, I'd rather my kids win something worth keeping instead of cheap, throwaway plushies. The staff also helps by repositioning plushies if they are lying flat or awkwardly shaped, so you are never left feeling cheated. The owners were kind to the families, checking in and making sure everyone was having a good time. Seeing all of the people walking around the arcade with plushies in their arms says a lot, they clearly don't rig the machines just to take your money. They even ask for feedback to make the experience better. Overall, it is a fun spot to visit, and my both of my sons had a blast. They are already looking forward to coming back to win more plushies in the future.

    This place is awesome, I have a 3 year old that loves claw machines and this was the best experience we had. Staff is super helpful and make the experience so much fun especially for our little one. 10/10 recommend especially for families with small children!

    This place just opened recently, so keep that in mind. It's a small crane game spot tucked away in a new shopping center. I'd seen some videos about it and figured I'd check it out. You can trade the prizes you win for bigger or cooler ones, which is pretty neat. They've got all kinds of stuff behind the counter--Labubu, Pokémon, Sanrio, anime, and more. If you trade in some plushies but don't want to take them home right away, you can save your points on your account. Rachel was working when we went, and she was super nice--she explained everything, helped us register our accounts, and showed us how to trade in prizes.

    So so so cool! Honestly such a cute little spot for a little spontaneous date night of hangout with a small friend group. The staff are very lovely, we appreciate all the tips and tricks Krish gave us, the lady working along with his was very sweet as well and did great at explaining the trading and reward system.

    See all

    This was one of the most disappointing customer experiences we've had, not because of a rule--but…read morebecause of how it was handled. Our six-year-old son loves racing. He's been racing regularly since early November at another Andretti location and has already been officially verified as meeting the height requirement for the junior track. We came to this location excited, with family in town, expecting the same consistency. Instead, he was denied access based on a manager's visual guess from behind the counter. No one measured him. No policy was clearly explained. No customer records were checked. And the manager refused to even come out to engage directly. If height requirements are about safety (which we fully respect), then they should be enforced objectively and consistently. Guessing from a distance is not safety--it's laziness and poor leadership. What made this worse was the complete lack of empathy. Watching a child who loves racing go from excited to confused and disappointed--without explanation or care--was heartbreaking and entirely avoidable. The Andretti name stands for precision and professionalism. What we experienced here was the opposite: disengaged management, inconsistent policy enforcement, and a total breakdown in customer experience. We didn't ask for special treatment. We expected competence, consistency, and basic respect--especially when dealing with kids. This experience ruined our visit and seriously damaged our trust in this location. Until Andretti addresses these leadership and operational issues, we won't be returning--and we'll think twice before recommending it to other families.

    From the adult perspective - the customer service is lacking, the prices are steep and the main…read moreattraction - the race cars, are slow and expensive. The race cars are really the main attraction here and the entire place revolves around the racing. You cannot make a reservation. It's a first come, first serve situation. There are four racing categories (see below), so if you come with a group of mixed ages or heights you may not all be able to race together (I've witnessed this shock when birthday parties assume they can race together). The Intermediate and Junior Races are slower than you'd assume. I could jog faster, but the WORST part is the speed. They go so slow and are controlled so it's nearly impossible to pass another racer or actually RACE! The Mini Mario has some speed and speed is adjusted based on the general age of the racers in the heat. The cost is $29 down to $15, which doesn't sound horrible, but after waiting for a long time for your group to be called and then racing for 1min to 7 minutes, the cost is really high! High enough you're not likely to get in line and do it again. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ugh. There are kiosks and a giant line with actual people at a counter. Don't be mistaken YOU MUST go to the kiosk FIRST and fill out waivers, although there are no signs anywhere telling you that. We've filled out waivers on line before arriving, only to find ourselves at the front of the line and told "we can't find it, now to to the kiosks and get back in line". It's awful. The employees don't seem to like their jobs, or likely are sick of people being upset at them for the HORRIBLE process management has set up. We've never been able to find someone on the floor to help us when a video game eats our money or doesn't work either. The guys in the race area are hit or miss. Sometimes they're patient and kind. Other times they mumble and seem pissed off to be there. GAMES: The video games are the same as other places around town, but after driving all the way out here, searching for parking and then racing for 5 minutes we've always felt like we need to play a few games to make the trip worth it. FOOD: We've never eaten here, but it's basic bar food (hamburger, hot dogs, nachos, etc) and the cost is high for such basic food. We'd rather pay the same amount for better food options in the area. All that to say, expect to spend $$$ to come race, eat and play at Andrettis. Make sure your group has checked the height & age requirements to make sure you can race together. And finally, come with a lot of patience. ----- Race Categories ----- ADULT RACE 7- Minute Heat. Adult Races are for drivers at least 54" Tall and either 18+ yrs old or 15+ yrs old with State Issued Driver's License or Permit. Max Weight: 300 lbs. INTERMEDIATE RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Intermediate Races are for drivers at least 54" tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 12 yrs old. Max Weight: 300 lbs JUNIOR RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Junior Races are for drivers at least 48" Tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 7 yrs old. MINI MARIO KART RACE: 5- Minute Heat. Minimum Height: 36″ Tall. Maximum Weight: 90lbs. Recommended Ages: 4-6 yrs old.
