    Well, my kids loved it here! They attended a birthday party here and a school field trip. This is…read morequite the drive from Minneapolis, but its their only location. The volume decibel is 10/10 at all times. Sully from Monsters Inc. Would be so excited to collect all the screams from here! However, adults can get pitcher of beer ora glass on tap. Order drinks or food in the back from the Food Lab. There are so many kid food options! There are many sections of this large space to explore. Kids can try out bumper cars, laser tag, playground, ball pit, VR games, air hockey, claw machines, arcade games and more! Charge each hand to your card which connects points to purchase stuff from the store at the end if you want. Lastly, you buy a package as your ticket to get in. Each package offers access to some or all of the areas to play during your time here. The price goes up the more you have access to. Same as the birthday packages. Look at the food menu to get other great deals on digital cards.

    Visited the fun lab on a Sunday and was surprised at how empty the place was this was great for us…read moreand our first visit. We walked in unsure what to do and stood next to two staff at the front desk for a couple minutes before being greeted. We used our explorer pass from Groupon which allowed for a visit do try most of the attractions. A lot of stuff was broken (laser tag maze, laser tag vests, games, blowers in the ball area) or no staff were available to let us know how to use it. What we could use was fun the bumper cars and arcade were favorites for our five year old. We purchased an additional pass for the bumper cars he had to go again. Overall it was okay for the prices, but there are other options around the cities if you're willing to spend a little more.

    I took my niece out for her belated birthday and gave her options to pick. She likes claw arcades…read more Down the street from my house too, I've driven past this place so many times and had not checked them out. Cute little arcade, they have 2 rows of claw machines to play, some claw machine requires 1 to 3 tokens. Depending on how big the teddy bears are. Once you enter, you're greeted by the cashier that explains everything. The tokens are $1 each, the more you purchase will get extra. For example I chose $30 and I received 35 tokens. Cashier handed us the tokens in a basket and clear bag for your winnings. Once you're done playing, you can trade the stuffed animals for something else behind the counter. Fun place for kids or dates.

    I've been wanting to visit here for a while. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a staff member who…read moreis very friendly and helpful, with reasonable pricing for the token. I don't remember the rest, but I saw $10 for 10 tokens or $20 for 25 tokens. Those are the prices I was looking at. It turns out I spent a total of $40. It's a great place for little kids. You are given a bag to keep all of the plush in. The win ratio was good too. I think in 45 minutes, I had 13 plushies total + 1 keychain, and I traded 10 plush for a giant Jigglypuff. I wish all the machines were one token, but some were 1, 2, or 4 tokens. (Like Spiderman was 2 tokens...) Prize trade-in was good. The highest cost was 12 plushies. The big one like Jigglypuff was 10. The next was 5 plushies. They also have some Pop Mart items in a shelf. No labubu. Check out their Facebook page or Instagram for hour updates. They just went into their summer hours. Unfortunately, Yelp won't let me suggest an edit for a Facebook or Instagram link.

    We blew through our tokens pretty quickly cause the games are pretty difficult. Several times the…read moreclaw would pick it up and slip out once the claw snapped back at the top. 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.
