Rare is it that I leave reviews but this place is a hidden gem worth finding…read more Tucked away in a little strip mall, this place might look unassuming from the outside, but step in and you'll find a whole world of fun waiting for you. Between the classic pinball machines, well-kept pool tables, and the laid-back vibe, it's the perfect spot for a date night. The owner is genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet and is clearly passionate about every machine and every detail of the experience. You can tell he really cares about keeping the place running smoothly and making sure everyone has a good experience. It's rare to find a spot that's this chill, authentic, and just plain fun. Whether you're into billiards, pinball, or just hanging out somewhere low-key with good energy, this place absolutely delivers. Best part of the night is the adorable shop puppy "Snowflake" who will challenge you to a game of tug-of-war. Would most definitely go again, but will make sure to bring cash next time as it is a (reasonably priced) cash only spot.

Also when it is payout, claw grabs and does not let go until reaching back home to prize chute. Just see videos that they do not play games like both duck locations in Eagan and mall of America. Tokens can be purchased any amount since $1 per token. Claw machines are mostly 1 token with a few that take 2 tokens. Single gatcha machine takes $8 worth of tokens but you get a token back when you return empty gatcha egg. Post on social media and you get free tokens. My son and I spent $15 and got 4 plushies and 1 gatcha toy. Totally worth it to play and guaranteed to win with some help.

Drove 30 minutes with my 4 year old to find out no one ever opened the store. Hours say 11:30am and…read morethere are no signs on the door that say they are closed. Tried calling and no answer. Business next door said they weren't open yesterday either and he thinks they may be on vacation. My son and I are extremely disappointed by this. We wasted time and gas money. They could have at least had the curtosey to put a sign on the door. I'm sure if they called the business next door they would have done it for them. Very irresponsible and disrespectful management. We will not be returning.

I took my partner here for his birthday and we had an absolute blast…read more First thing I want to do is give Kevin a huge shoutout. From the moment we walked in he was AWESOME and helped us have the best experience we could have had. We were the first ones there and it was my partners first time trying any VR. We are adults and love gaming so it was the perfect thing to do for us. We had our own semi-private stall and Kevin helped us get familiar with the mechanics of not only the VR headset and controller equipment but also the little differences in each game that we played. He made himself available consistently throughout our time there and we all had a good time together. We ended up staying longer (nearly doubling our original time) because it was so fun. At one point we got a little hungry so I ran down to get some pizzas from the Brick Oven Bus, a food truck that parks right outside the brewery in the parking lot of the building. We brought up the pizzas and some drinks and spent our afternoon immersed in the coolest technology. It's really a trip, highly recommend. There were games for everyone, all different ability levels and easy to switch in and out of games. The only hold up for us was it was a little bit difficult to get in and out of the building. We had to call up to be let in the locked door and then it's kind of a weird, big, empty building. It was, however, the Sunday after Xmas and could have just been our odd hours of visit. We will definitely be back to play again! Thanks Kevin!

It almost seems like some of the items were too slippery so you couldn't get a good drip on them. Claw games are notoriously bad though so I don't see this as too different from a standard claw machine. The workers might help with placement of a particular item for kids so ask for some help. I'm appreciative of their help and still think it's worth a visit.

My first time visiting a claw arcade. We were grabbing coffee next door and needed to waste a bit…read moreof time before our next plans. We luckily got there early before it got busier. It's a smaller arcade. They have a prize upgrade system as well as if you win a prize out of a claw machine and it's not the color you want they let you swap it with a different one (has to be from the same machine). They are also kind enough to "reset" the plushies to help make it easier to win them. It for sure can get addicting quick trying to win particular plushies. They do charge a small fee for using cards vs cash, so I suggest bringing a bit of cash. You also get more tokens the more you buy. Each machine takes 1 token to play. I felt like the prizes were a lot better quality than what I thought they would be. You can trade 15 of the smaller plushies for a big one (or different prizes in general). Overall a fun place. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Nice staff.

I have been to other claw machine establishments, but I was excited to check this one out. I stopped by during the week right after they opened with two coworkers. We were the only ones there and the owner took the time to explain how everything worked. We were all going to buy 10 tokens, but it appears you get a better deal if you buy them together. The claw machines range from figurines to stuffed animals and snacks. If you want, you're able to collect small prizes and trade them up at the end. Fortunately, I don't think we were the best at claw machines, but I was thankful the owner saw which games we were playing and moved to some of the items around. He also gave us advice on how to win! Realistically, we were in and out within about 15 minutes, having spent $30. It's a little expensive but right in line with all the other claw machine establishments. We walked away with three stuffed animals and a bunch of snacks. We definitely had fun and I recommend checking it out. It's not nearly as chaotic as some of the other options nearby.

It's 250 for 10 kids plus their parents. You have a private room to play with all of their toys but can also enjoy the entire play room. Lots of tables full of trains and cars, doll house, coloring, bounce house, ride on. You have live music or you may caught the owners singing karaokes. There's bubble machine and you get free lollipop on the way out. The place is a dream come true land for kiddos who love cars/trains, imagine play. We enjoyed here and came back again. You get punch cards too. It's a great value for indoor play. There s restaurant right outside and you can honestly be here all day. The owner are so nice and friendly, lots of sitting options for parents. Highly recommended.

Yesterday, I walked past Playland Arcade at Eden Prairie Center. It had been three years since I…read morewas at this mall. I didn't remember an arcade. No one was there, so I checked it out. You basically get a card and load it with points. The best bang for your buck is loading $50 on it. Since I wasn't sure whether I'd like the games and such, I loaded $20. I swiped my credit card and my points card dropped out of the machine for collection. The game that caught my attention was Space Invaders Frenzy. It was on a large screen. Two players can play. The shooting gun was massive, but extremely comfortable to use. I played this game and loved it. It became my favourite one. You can hold down the trigger to shoot without pressing it like crazy as if you wanted to break it. I managed to get on the top ten high scores. Yay! There is a photo machine at this arcade, but the camera wasn't working. Bummer. I tried one of the claw games. I never do well playing them. All prizes are round in shape, so it's difficult to get the claw to grip anything. There is a hand sanitizer stand, but it didn't have any liquid. It was a downer. Luckily, I had some in my purse and used it before I found a washroom to properly wash my hands. I had a fun time. I have plenty of points on my card (it's 4 points for a game of Space Invaders), so I'll be back for more fun to satisfy my 80's arcade game fix. (392)
