Cool place but it's very hard to win anything. Spent $50 and the only reason the claw worked was…read morebecause the owner helped us to grab one because there's apparently a strategy to it. I just feel like for a place meant for children - it should be a little easier to win something. My suggestion is to add machines that are winner every time, so at the very least there's one or two claw type machines that can give a prize. They do have machines that for extra tokens will give you a capsule toy but it adds up quickly.

Happy Claw Arcade in Turlock is a small, cute spot that makes for a fun family outing. They offer a…read moregood variety of claw machines along with a few special games. Almost all of them only cost 1 token per play! My family and I spent about $100 and managed to win close to 13 plushies, so overall it felt worth it. The main challenge is the claw strength -- several times the claw would grab a plushie, lift it up, and then drop it once it reached the top. The weight of the plushies definitely plays a role, so some machines require a bit of strategy and patience. The staff were very friendly and even added more plushies to the machines to help make it easier for the kids to win, which we really appreciated. The space was clean and welcoming. $20 for 23 tokens is a solid deal, and we ended up spending almost 40 minutes inside having a great time. All in all, it's a friendly, clean arcade with fair pricing and fun games. We'll definitely return.

They charge $15 to get in, but it was discounted to $12 per person since we went on a weekday. My daughter is almost 2 years old, and the main attraction that she was interested in the animals. Since it was not too busy, she also got to enjoy the giant pillow bouncer. We ran through bales of hay, played in the corn pit, and enjoyed some fresh homemade pumpkin bread from the snack shack. Overall, we had a great time despite being able to utilize many attractions since she wasn't old enough. I would say that the rest of the attractions would be perfect for ages three and up. I should also mention 2 & under are free, so there's quite a bit got a two year old to do considering. We hung around for over two hours having fun as a family, until the mosquitoes started coming out after sunset, If you're local to the area, I definitely think it's worth the visit! Go check them out!

She kindly asked if we wanted to pay together or separate and she even gave us the arm bands to assist the next people in line. The attractions were cute and functional, for both kids and adults. There was plenty of pumpkins to choose from, small, large, different colors. And the price was actually pretty good. Definitely will be going there next year.

We're visiting from out of town and decided to stop by before heading out. We enjoyed this card…read moreroom--great games and a fun atmosphere, even though we ended up losing it all. The experience was still enjoyable. However, Some servers weren't the best. After we refused to tip, the server didn't come back to serve us and made excuses and attitude each time. That said, I want to give credit to the petite Asian girl Molly who did serve us with great attitude. We weren't easy on her, but she continued to smile and provide good service throughout our time there. She didn't care about tips, but to make sure customers were having a great time and that's what made the rating to 4 stars.

Tonight we left concerned about our safety and potential covid exposure,due to a customers…read morenegligent behavior. This is all based upon my opinion. So heres how it all went down, we were playing cards at table when customer who had sat next to my brother for a while and then was sitting in between both my husband and I. He answers a video chat and the person on the chat says " we must pray that we don't have it and they all tested positive, we have to pray that we don't get it". My instant thought was to put another mask on now wearing two. I looked up and realize my husband on the other side of him was now wearing his n95 mask for added protection. Customer leaves and I look up and ask my husband if he heard that. He said yes. To which dealer chimes in and says oh your in the wrong place if your worried about covid. He commented something about touching cards and chips. I told him its just my father died a few months ago of covid related causes and my husband almost died in January as a result of covid issues,so I feel concerned. He went onto comment about kids at his daughters school had covid being passed around and basically if im that concerned this was the wrong place for me. Something to this effect. Then allows the guy who potentially exposed us to just go to another table once again sitting next to my brother. It took everything in me not to ask the customer if he felt a concern why was he even there, and if the dealer suspected any exposure at his childs school why was he at work, and why did he allow customer to remain playing and not ask him to leave???? In the name of public health and safety and flattening the curve why is this ever allowed and how is this safe for my family or the community? We go there from time to time and I feel sad because I even told dealer about the most painful thing in my life and he just went on and allowed the guy to continue and voiced his personal defense as to why I shouldn't be there if I felt the way I do. Im disappointed. I hope the guy was not sick Im just sad that we have to worry about this while coming there and not sure if we will go back as we all felt super angry. Even spoke to other customers in parking lot about it. People started walking out after that not just us. Totally not cool!

Haven't fired a shotgun for 20 years since my military days and was a little apprehensive about…read moregoing here first instead of the range. I thought I would be met by people here who come every week and acted snobby about a newcomer into their hobby but had the exact opposite experience. Yes, these guys are the local pros and yes, they all have their friend groups and being new can be awkward for anyone in any situation, but my experience was far different from what I expected. The people working there were really really nice. Answered all of our questions, super supportive, not trying to rush anything or brush us off. One guy said something along the lines of, "Look,we want this to be a fun experience for everyone. We want people to come try the sport and experience our club and become members. We want people to be comfortable and have fun and be safe. We would love to have you guys back next time!" We also had a great experience with the younger guy operating our trap house. Very patient, very kind. A random guy (customer) watching us, stepped in to offer my friend's son (a 10 year old who had such a great time btw) some helpful pointers. We got there around 4:30 and that was perfect because they let us shoot a couple rounds down the range before they even loaded the trap houses or turned anything on or started selling the tickets. This was great since my friend and his son had never shot a shotgun before and because it had been 20 years since I had. The guys we were paired up with were visibly annoyed they got placed with new people(/ and a kid) who didnt know what we were doing (as far as etiquette and rules and how slow we were), but they were patient and polite and nobody made any inappropriate comments or anything. Everything from the staff seemed to be in the nicest way to help us learn and get better and faster. They really don't care if you bring in a several thousand dollar over/under or a $250 mossberg. They didn't have an issue letting us also try it with our 18.5" barrel 20 gauge. Bring what you have, bring your ammo, and prepare to have fun. Get to know your gun somewhere else really well first if you can like at a range or with snap caps at home. Because we were so new to it all, we definitely took up more time but again, everyone was really cool about it. Next, we are going to go practice somewhere a little slower paced before we come back to do this again. We also only had 2 shotguns for 3 of us and didn't really think that through. We were all on the same ticket for practice, so that meant one of us shot, then the next, but the third shooter had to run and grab the first shooter's gun. The staff was totally cool about it, but we immediately realized it would be a lot more fun and faster for everyone to have one gun per person and to have each person really know and understand their gun well so we can keep pace and not hold up others. One of the guys working there was even nice enough to let me shoot one of his old mossbergs and he really didnt have to, but he was trying to help speed things along for the sake of everyone else. The crowd is a lot of older guys (60s and up and a lot of vietnam vets) and a lot of 30-40 year olds. A couple groups with kids and women, but like 80% guys who all seemed to have fun, take it seriously, and were willing to help/chat/answer random questions. If you become a member (have to attend a meeting and interview, then join a waitlist which accepts members based on availability once a year in every February) you get access to their boat launch on the river, camping, and the outdoor gun range. They also sell food (nothing healthy lol, think hot dogs/nachos/soda) and water and have a restroom. Tickets tonight were $7 which got us 25 pulls each (practice session). Apparently, if you compete, you might win meat (like beef for your freezer and that's pretty awesome). Drive in (a car can access the dirt road with no clearance issues), back in behind the field. Walk down the concrete ramp and the trailer with steps has a side window that will open at 5 to sell trap tickets. Then you take your ticket to the window of the same building facing the field (4 feet around the corner) and you exchange that ticket to get your name on a list and they tell you a number (for your group/score card). Then they announce over the PA system throughout the night which type of group (practice/competition) and which group number and which house/field of the four. The person in position 1 calls for the first pull to let everyone visualize how they look. Then the round begins. Person 1 calls pull and the staff guy at your house hits the button, bang, clay destroyed mid air. Then person 2 has a round in and closes their action, points, yells pull, bang, etc. Then they rotate a space so you get to do it from different angles. Stick around to hear the score after all 25 rounds are fired by everyone in your group.
