First time checking this place out after bowling at X-Lanes in Fashion Faire Mall. Lots of claw machines (I think at least 20, cool variety of plushies and my daughter also got a free pop-it toy. The place was clean with a few other visitors. The claws in the machines were not bad and the size of their plushies made it a bit easier to win a prize. Would come back once in a while but I don't go to the mall as often nowadays. read more

Claw daddy just reopened Saturday and are bigger and better then before. The new location is in between macys and the boba place. I feel like they have double the amount of claw machines now. Their grand reopening was a family fun filled day. We got there a little early and got free plushies. Then depending on how much you spent you got raffle tickets to try and win some awesome prizes. This place sure knows how to make a bang. They gave away over 30 prizes. Ranging from plushies, Pokemon cards, skull pandas and labubu. I was actually the winner of a skull panda. They even had a huge labubu there to take pics with. All the workers were really kind. They even moved some plushies around to help us win. My boys love this place and can't wait to go back. read more

Overrated! expensive as hell! Each game cost between 8-16 credits making it $2-$5 to play. Your $50 250 cr will burn through in less than 10 min. They need to compare and get some direction from the Claw Vault in Utah. Dont waiste your money here! Head to Nickel arcade. This place is a ripoff read more

Claw daddy was such a great experience and we will be back! As a big group, we spent $60 and we all won 2-3 plush each! The staff member Andres was awesome! He was so helpful to us and he was excited for us to win! Usually claw machines places are rigged but this play was not! Fun and easy games suitable for everyone! Love this place! I can't wait to visit Fresno claw daddy again! read more

Andres was amazing very helpful and accommodating gave us great tips and we came out of there winners ! We will be back . Thank you Andres read more

Had a great first experience today at Claw Daddy. We've never been before but our son loves claw machines. The attendant was so helpful and kind to us with our two toddlers. Highly recommend! Pricing isn't unreasonable either. Worth the fun! read more

I came here for a quick business meeting and ended up staying to play a handful of their claw machines. I won some cool stuff. Shout out to Daniella for the tips! I don't know how many claw machines they have here, but the prizes are a huge upgrade from when I was a kid. All of the machines here are player card only. You get a card and load it credits via a machine on the wall. They take cash or card and $10 gets you 44 credits and most of the machines need 8-credits to play. The majority of the prizes here are stuffed animals; with lots of Pokémon characters, SpongeBob, Super Mario Bros., and a few random characters that I didn't know. They also have Funko Pops you can win with a claw, which is tough. BUUUUTTTT, you can trade 5 stuffies for any Funko Pop they have on hand. I got Pikachu! I will definitely be back with my kids and then head next door to Slaters 50/50 for a burger and a beer. Party On! read more

Cool new arcade that makes it fun to actually play claw machines. Claw machines are an absolute scam. No arguing that. But this neat little establishment makes it easier to win prizes and makes it a fun and exciting experience for all ages. The machines charge differently depending on the potential prize. Some are less and some are more. You load a card at a machine and the more you put on it the more you can get "extra." Not all machines will win a prize and a few will do the notorious pick up or the item and drop as the claw moves to the drop point but it's still fun and exciting when you actually win something. And if you load your card with $30 or more, you can get a popper or something small from the counter. A fun experience for all ages even the kids at heart. read more

First time visit. Spent $30 and left with 7 items. Friendly staff. Fun time! It's worth checking out

This place is addicting and so much fun!! Stopped in spur of the moment while back to school shopping with my daughter and had a blast. Andres greeted us, went over how everything worked and gave us tips on how to get the most use out of those claws! He even helped stack them a lil better if my daughter couldn't grab the one she wanted after a couple tries. He was super attentive, personable and made sure we had the best time. Will definitely be going back! read more

Recently visited on Saturday around 2pm. The kind worker greeted us as we entered. It's our first time here. Noticed it was visibly warmer inside. They have a self server kiosk where you can purchase the game card and load credits. The machine doesn't offer change. It takes cash and card but if you use card there's a fee and you don't get the full amount of credits you pay for. Each claw machine varies in credits. My 3yo daughter loves claw machines and she's pretty good at it too and it's a love-hate relationship for my husband and I lol as we can all get carried away a spend so much more than we had anticipated. If I could recall $20 can get you 80credits. Like similar claw machine businesses in town they offer larger plushes but you would have to trade in 5 or more of the smaller plushes that you have won. So what's neat about this place is the kind worker said she can re-arrange any of the plushes that we wanted it's literally a guaranteed win. And these machines don't rip you off like other places we've gone to where they loosen the claw so once you get your prize and the claw goes up and when it starts to move the claw grip was so loose that it drops it. This place is guaranteed everyone will win something! Nice, highly addictive place lol we would return. read more

This was our second time here and this place never disappoints. This time we did the 30$ card package and it gave us over 100+ tokens. My son was able to get around 16 stuffies for that amount of points. He's three and they make it so easy to win the prizes, most of the claw machines seem to be on an "easier" mode so that's great for little ones. The girl working Daniella was super nice and helpful. And even gave us some tips on the claw as well. We will be coming back in the future! My son is already asking to go back read more

Capitalizing this! I HAD SO MUCH FUN! Full disclosure: I won the giveaway for their gift card loaded with credit which made the experience much more sweeter of course. Since it opened, I've been wanting to check this claw arcade place out. We don't have anything like this in Fresno. I was greeted by two staff members and told them I was one of the winners for the giveaway, Daniella worked on getting my card. The young gentlemen answered some of my questions about the claw machine. My card was given and I was ready to play! Each machine have different plushies/stuffed animals in there. They always seem to be rotating new plushies in 2-3 days which is fantastic! I love their selection of plushies because it is really current to what people like. Some plushies are from anime, games, or loved characters by many, and they have a great selection. Once you're ready to play just take the card and tap the button, once you hear a sound it means its registered. The machine also tells you how many credits each play will be. Some ranging more than others depending on the plushies or toy you're trying to win. I will say that the chances of you winning something is pretty high! I am not a pro at claw machines and I won so many toys! Once you get your claw over one of the toys, push button to drop the claw, once claw grabs the toy, makes sure to DOUBLE tap button! That's gonna grip the plushie! I was absolutely hysterical each time I won a plushie. Thanks Claw Daddy for letting me live my childhood dream lol , winning something from a claw machine LOL. The establishment is quite big, open floor plan and spacious. Along the walls are all the claw machines. They have really cool graphic artwork on the walls. It is clean and clutter free. You can save the card to load more credits on it. They are located just next to Slater 50/50 outside the mall. There is a claw machine that has Poké balls, if you get the blue key you can win a bigger prize plushie just left of that machine. The customer service I received as superb. Just overall super duper friendly staff. A shout out to Daniella who really engaged with us, and talking to us on how to win the plushies. It was a very good experience for me and my family and my daughter left very happy. Thank you for Claw Daddy and Nate from Yelp. read more

Had an amazing experience thank you Andy had great customer service and made sure we had a great time will come again!

My bf and I went in right before my birthday dinner and it was so much fun! They had some good prizes and the pricing wasn't bad! Andy was a HUGE help! He was so nice and welcoming and showed us everything we needed to know! He was very attentive and helped us figure out the prize trade system and so we were able to get this giant spam that we fell in love with! 10/10 experience thanks to Andy! read more

This place is amazing. The staff was helpful, friendly and so encouraging to my two young kids who had the time of their lives here. For $100 we walked out with two GARBAGE BAG SIZED bags of goodies. The kids were in heaven. I'm a big of a claw machine addict myself, so I think this whole business model is amazing. I can't wait to come back. Following them on Instagram so I can see when the machines are re-stocked with goodies I can't live without :) read more

Grand Opening: The owner is super nice. Since today is their 1st day, you get a free bag when you purchase a $10 card. (Follow any restrictions). This location is by the main entrance of Fashion Fair and it is next to Slater 50/50. Very clean. Love their decor. read more

The machines have definitely gotten difficult to grab and hold the plushies. It was awesome when they first opened. We would get 8+ prizes with a 30$ card but now we're lucky if we get 1 or 2. This has happened the last couple visits now so we won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Andy and Maria made are experience here at claw daddy arcades so amazing. They have amazing customer service and I couldn't ask for a better experience here thank u so much my are family enjoyed it so much and they made my son very happy on his birthday read more

Claw Daddy Arcades - Prizes won - Arcades Near Me - Fresno, California

My kids loved this place! Andres was so incredibly helpful and kind. We had a blast and the kids left with some really cute plushies.

Had a surprisingly good time here on a Saturday early afternoon in January 2024. Surprising I guess because I have never really been great at claw machines, but Claw Daddy made it a fun and easy activity. I want to bring my nephews back here, especially in the summer when indoor activities are vital. $10 was well worth the laughs and the 2 very cute stuffed animals we got. Everything is clean and cool inside and we were greeted nicely and given a quicky tutuorial on how everything works. read more

We came here once in the winter and loved the idea of claw games to help to break up a long mall trip. The only thing is you have to buy a card to put the tokens on, which costs money. But the games themselves are fun, and we won two prizes. I think they make it easier to win than most claw machines, which is really nice. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place when with a group at the mall. read more

Took my son here for part of his birthday outing...he loves claw machine games...the employees were so awesome and made it such a fun experience...the claws work well we left with a big bag (that they provided) of plushies ..I'd definitely recommend this place...right next to Slaters read more

Thank you Yelp and Claw Daddy for doing the giveaway. Confession, I was one of the three lucky winners to win a card with over a hundred play credits. My husband and I came on a Thursday night around 6:30pm. We of course made a date night of it. We got food at the food court and came to Clawdaddy. I did not want to walk much because I have a sprained ankle and a cam walking boot so I was glad it was right across from Cheesecake factory for my husband to drop me off. This night was slow so we had access to all the claw machines we wanted to play which worked well, especially with my injury. Clawdaddy is right between Slaters & Sephora. Customer Service was quick and easy. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a sign and a neon sign. When you enter, there is a few square boxes of claw machines that are ground level and along the wall are about 20 standing claw machines with neon red lights. Very arcade style, but very open and cute. I believe the floor ones are for smaller children and the wall ones are for bigger kids and only 4 credits. All the wall ones were 8 credits and the floor ones were 4 credits. With over 100 credits, I could have played most of the machines, but I wanted to focus on the ones I really wanted which was Groot plushie, Rocket plushie, Ramen plushy, spam plushie and purple stitch plushie. We got all except Purple Stitch plushie. Confession: I sucked at the claw machine and didn't realize you had to push the button a second time to grip the plushy like Miss Sally told us to do. Lol. We walked away with a good amount of plushies. The ramen and spam are for my husband and I. We gave Rocket and Groot to our pups. Overall, we had fun. I plan to come again to play and get plushies to put in a basket and a playcard for our annual white elephant gift. I hope my pictures and videos get uploaded because they tend to disappear! Thank you so much Yelp and Clawdaddy, you just got two returning customers! Requesting Monkey D. Luffy from One piece & Eleven and Dustin plushies from Stranger Things. Lol. Please. read more

First time going to a place like this and though it is a small establishment, it was a lot of fun for a date night. These claw machines are easy to play and are more skill based than luck. I spent about $30 which let us play for about 30 min to 1 hour. We won a good amount of times and we were happy with the prize offerings, especially the little Kirby. I highly recommend this place for parents with kids and a simple date night with a walk around the mall included. read more

Claw Daddy Arcades - Arcades Near Me - Fresno, California

My bf and I went on a last-minute date to Claw Daddy yesterday, October 21st, 2023, and we had a blast! It is a small claw machine arcade but we spent about an hour there just having a good time and winning plushies. He got more than I did but still won 3 myself. They were so nice and gave us free gifts . The Staff is so sweet and seem genuinely excited any time you get a plushie you want. They update their plushie selection but not certain how often. They currely have One Piece plushies, Pokémon, Kirby, My Melody, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball Zand, and a few other cute ones. I had a good time and feel the cost for the amount of plushies you end up with is very worth it and reasonable. read more

Not worth it the machines are programed we spend $30 and did not win anything. you probably have to spend like $100 to get 2 tiny stuff animals. read more

Don't waste your money here!! Saw all the great reviews and thought my son will definitely love this place since the one across the street "Fun Zone" ripped us off! Spent $100 and got two dinky small plushy. The claw shakes so much that you can barely get anything! Our first claw experience was in Las Vegas and it was so awesome!! We split $120 to 3 kids and they came out with 3 full bags!! Thought maybe these places will be the same, but no! Huge disappointment! read more

Such a fun experience, the staff is super helpful and happy to give tips and suggestions to ensure you leave with a satisfying amount of stuffies! read more

Super easy to get stuffies! They also do trade ups which are nice! And as of now it's 10 tokens per game! The staff are also super friendly and are always willing to help! Definitely recommend! read more

Such a fun experience! I'm so happy we have one of these in Fresno now. I took my younger brother and he loved it! Employees are so kind and explain the techniques. Also, they readjust the plush toys to make it easier. Lots of options of plush toys and plush keychains. read more

My first time there today! I love the reload option on a card instead of carrying tokens, did a claw machine arcade in Vegas but so glad we have one here in Fresno! I love the variety of popular characters chosen for prizes! Hope they bring in MORE claw machines to this location! But first & foremost I can't get over how FRIENDLY & HELPFUL the staff are!!!! You ask them nicely if they can move a certain plush and they're so sweet! The great staff definitely has my love for this place! Definitely the claw machines cost per game is a bit higher than other claw arcades but for the type of prizes offered it's very fair! read more
