    Super fun, very clean, and a great selection. The staff was very helpful. Will definitely come back!

    Kids and those obsessed with crane games will have fun. There are probably about 30 or so cranes available with various plushies. You can collect smaller plushies and trade up for larger ones. You can also exchange one small plushie for a coin and save up coins over a period of several visits to upgrade. The staff are very friendly. They are happy to help little ones win a prize after a couple of unsuccessful attempts. They want you to go home with a new stuffy friend or two.

    OMG. 2nd mortgage is needed to play games here. Some are easy but most are super hard. Very hard. Its compact place but hot summer day like today, place is cooled very nicely. Place to be. Workers are going around helping people. If you have hard time trying to grab something, they will help you lil bit. However, some items are super hard to get. Oh, I said that already. Flush toy is nice quality but definitely will spend lot of money trying to get few things. Oh, I said that already. Get the package deal from the beginning for that extra coin. You will end of spending lot more money than you planned. Did I say that? You buy $50 worth of tokens and you get 1 coin. 1 coin is one stuffed animal. You save the coins to trade up to bigger or more valuable toys. Good luck!

    We love this place! What a fun, low cost way to have the besttttt time as a kid. My 2.5 year old loves getting the stuffies with my husband, and we've come back as a quick activity so many times! Will continue to come back. The staff always makes it such a positive experience.

    Great little place! My daughter is 5, we spent $20, and left with 4 stuffies. You get 22 coins for $20 and all but one machine takes 1 coin per play. One machine takes 4 coins per play. The store is clean and the employee will help your kids win prizes. There was one machine the claw kept dropping right before it was going to drop down in the slot area and the guy placed it on the edge where we were able to get it. Friendly staff and they aren't going to let your kids leaving disappointed.

    My GF and I came here because of Las Vegas. We had so much in Vegas and decided to try this spot out. We had so much fun! We spent in total $20 and walked out with over 5 plushies! They have a cute variety of plushies that are high quality as well! There's plenty of parking available in the lot! The employees are very helpful for winning plushies.

    So much fun! I always felt like these types of things are rigged but here, the staff help you out and give you tips! If something is stuck, they will literally unlock the box to move items for you so have a good chance. They are dedicated to you having a good time, not a frustrating time. Although, if you really wanna try to get something without help, I suggest you say that beforehand as they can be a bit enthusiastic to help haha. The small toys are non-exchangeable but for the bigger ones, you can trade a number of them in to get larger prizes. Or you can trade them in for tokens you can use next time to play.

    Great set up and clean! They have snacks too and it's a fun little place for kids to have fun and enjoy! The Friday afternoon employee there, she was so kind and friendly! Made the experience great

    Day one was a success!

    I am known to love crane games/claw machines and so we thought this would be a fun place to take the kids. They are brand new and just opened a few weeks ago in Aurora. They didn't even have permanent signage up yet and you can spot them by the large vinyl banner hanging above the shop. It reminded me of another crane game arcade in Las Vegas which I unfortunately was not able to try during my last visit and so I was very excited to check this place out! It's a small space with all crane games -- about 30+ or so and filled with various toys and stuffies. Each game is one token ($1) which you can get at the counter. Depending on how much you spend, they'll also give you a special token which can go towards exchanging your winnings for an even larger prize which can be found displayed behind the counter. You can exchange as little as 3 stuffies for a better prize. Having played many crane games over the years and constantly win.... I think the games are pretty easy to win compared to a lot of other places. I feel like you can spend as little as $10 or $20 and come out a winner. There were a handful of times that I won on the first try. What's great is a lot of the stuffed animals are actually cute and worth keeping. I loved the variety of Hello Kitty stuffies and other Sanrio characters like Kuromi. They also had fun Minecraft, Disney, and Pixar characters. The tokens do go quite fast though, especially if you're there with little ones! We all had so much fun and loved it so much that we went back a second time the next day which was even more fun, lol. We did spend quite a bit of $$$, but had a really good time. We won over 30 stuffed animals over those 2 days and traded most of them in for larger prizes. I'm proud to say I was able to stuff *most* of them in my handcarry luggage. Haha. Definitely recommend this place if you love crane games! The staff are very nice as well and so sweet. If ever we're back in Colorado, I'd love to stop here again for some fun.

    Really fun, although surprisingly difficult. But it doesn't seem like the staff will let you lose

    Fun! Fun! Fun! Such a great place for family night, date night, or just something new! The staff were super friendly and excited we were all there. The games contain a bunch of different characters and aren't extremely hard to catch so you'll walk away with at least one character. If you collect 20 small stuffed characters you can trade it in for a giant one. They give you tokens to collect if that's your goal. Super fun spot!

    On her first try!

    In the few months that Crane Games has been open, our family has been one of their top customers!! My daughters (6 and 4) are obsessed and love coming here! We must have at least 30-40 stuffies from CG because they never want to trade them in for a bigger one. To be honest $20 for 23 coins can go fast! Especially when splitting that between two kids so each get 11 coins. We can be done in 15 minutes! I have to keep reminding them to take their time. Paying $20 is the same as going to Lava Island or Sky Zone, but sometimes you just want to get them out of the house for a short while without being at one of those play places for a long time. So we've found that CG is the perfect spot for our family that makes the kids happy! And then we can go home. We always leave with at least one stuffie, sometimes eight! It's quite literally hit or miss, and my kids are not good at it at all! Yet somehow they still are able to grab some! We've gotten to know the owners and staff during our many visits and appreciate how they genuinely care about making their customers (especially the kids) happy!! Lots of adults come in to play too though!! Haha no judgement.

    Loved the games, staff is really nice and the prizes are pretty good quality. You can also trade up for different plushies as well!

They charge $4 to enter since they have 70 or so free to play games which are mostly all old school games. Depending on what day of the week it is, they also have specials that range from free entry if you purchase a $10 game card, or even free tickets just from buying a game card. The games are a mix of games you can find at your local Dave and busters, to some that you'd find at an abandoned garage sale. The only problem I had, was after hitting a few ticket jackpots, I noticed that the card never registered my tickets. I spoke with a nice worker and she promptly loaded some of the missing tickets to my game card. Just sucks that the game cards/arcade games are pretty unreliable and I wish they had a better system. Overall, the prizes were great but expensive for the ticket value they were listed at. On the contrary, the games were all 1-6 nickels as opposed to 1-6 quarters at a normal arcade which honestly was amazing and hard to find in today's economy. The couple of plushies that I was able to redeem and take home was enough for me to remember this fun and family-friendly arcade.

They have a lineup of fun classic arcade games in the front area near the bar, and then there's a larger space with pinball and other arcade games in the back.

The bartender was kind and even gave us some tokens another guest had left behind! Games aren't cheap - about $1 per person per play - but I suppose that's what they run these days. We played: NBA Jam Big Buck Hunter Pacman 4-player Guitar Hero Arcade and a few others! Fun with a small group or solo for a few drinks with an activity.

I came after I picked my son up from his after care program and there was no employee in sight for about 15 minutes. We ended up just grabbing clubs and doing putt putt. At the end there was a teenager who came out when we had gone through probably 8-9 holes and he said "Excuse me, who checked you out?" And I said "No one. No one was here and we weren't gonna wait all night." He was like "I am the manager on shift and that's not true." Clearly trying to not be in trouble. It was absolutely inappropriate the way he treated everyone in there. I don't know what they were doing that whole time but the lack of responsibility they took for not being present where they needed to be was ridiculous. I will call back later and speak to the general manager and pay for the round we did but in my opinion, the kid working should be fired. The cash register was left unmanned, plus all the merchandise, the main door open, the self service card reader wasn't working, there was zero attention to customers. I work with high school students and 98% of them would be more responsible than this. It was completely unprofessional!
