    Gave this place another try and really glad we did. Even from our first original visit, the staff member we met was very kind to our toddler, which always means a lot to us parents. We came to the Waikīkī location because we've loved the Las Vegas one so much, so we were excited to check it out. We got to learn more about their business, which made the experience feel more personal. They also have a system where you can trade in certain qualifying plushies for bigger prizes, which is a fun touch. The customer service truly goes above and beyond. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuine. They even give you a little pouch for your tokens (same like in Vegas) so you can keep all your tokens together. They have specials going on so you can also get the best bang for your buck. Most importantly, we had so much fun! Our toddler left happy with a few plushies; and that alone made it worth it. No need for a suitcase full, just a few smiles and we're good. Like the Las Vegas location, they give you a complimentary clear plastic drawstring backpack to tote your winnings in, which is always appreciated. Really glad we came back! Happy to say, just like in Vegas, this is a five star spot for us now. This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last. Note: they do validate parking if you're parked in the Target Parking Structure.

    Spring Break fun!!

    Fantasy Claw is low-key addicting in the best way If you've got even a little competitive spirit, be ready to get hooked. The machines actually feel winnable (which is rare), and the prizes are legit...way better than your typical arcade junk. Clean setup, good vibes, and perfect for killing time whether you're with kids or just acting like one. Pro tip: once you start winning, it's hard to stop. Definitely a fun little Waikīkī gem

    Walking through the area with 2 young kids getting tired, we came across this gem! We walked in and the place was filled with excitement. Our boys were immediately energized. Claw games can be tough, but Lee and Yoko were so helpful. More than that, they treated us like family! They were so great, I had to write this review on the spot. We got some assistance to win a few toys so both boys wouldn't go home empty handed. On top of that, it turns out Lee (Magic Lee Hawaii) is a famous magician! He did a few [what I'm sure to him] simple tricks and left my boys in awe. I'm sure that's not what anyone can expect, but it really left an impression on them. In the end, our whole family was energized, happy and amazed. I wish I could write more, so I may update later, but I couldn't leave too far without writing this right now. Thanks, Lee, Yoko and Fantasy Claw. Update (as I was just about to hit done): Lee just called us over gave us some great local tips to visit and eat. This was such a great experience and definitely something our family will remember a long time.

    Inside lots of machines!

    I spent $60 and they gave me 30% more tokens. Games are 1-4 tokens depending on what you're playing. Claw machine games are so addictive but here you also could have a better chance of winning and the stuffies are really cute! I ended up initially winning 9 different things but traded 5 for a Snorlax. Loved it, staff were so friendly and accommodating and you can trade up in increments of 5 items won. Highly recommend if you're looking to get out of the heat or need a break from the beach!

    FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!! Came in randomly on a Monday the kids saw the lights and the claw machines and immediately ran in. We got the $60 deal token, and it was so worth it. Everyone had fun. Adults too! We've gone to other claw machines places and we also play random claw machines at the malls, stores or wherever they have them. This place has got to be my favorite so far!!! Yoko was working when we came in and her costumer service is excellent!!! She made us feel so welcomed and she was so helpful! She made our play time here so much more enjoyable! Thank you for an amazing first time experience! We're already planning to come back again!

    This place is so freaking adorable but you can blow money quickly (like with most claw games) but the staff was great and we did take home prizes. All the kids were having fun so I'd definitely recommend it

    Fantasy Claw Arcade is really fun to do at night in Waikiki and my friends and I had a lot of fun. We're glad we stopped by! The token packages are really great and customer service was excellent!

    Cutest arcade place! Won a cute Labubu after quite a few tries, and both employees were very nice!

    At least our girl won a prize $30 care bear plush since this was her only prize after spending all her tokens.

    If I could give this spot 0 stars I would. We've taken our kids to plenty of these places & this was by far the worse. Boba places give you better odds than this spot. We took our 5 year old and 10 year old here today as a treat post dinner. There was a single worker so getting help just to start off took a solid 10 minutes and that was just to purchase tokens and there was only 1 person ahead of us. We paid $60 for tokens so kids could play plenty of machines and come out with what we thought would be a couple of decent plushies and just have fun trying out the different claw machines. Again we've been to plenty of these arcades and usually come out with each of their bags filled for same budget of tokens, but not all arcades are equal so even a few wins would've been gre Think again, each kid won a single tiny keychain plush. A boba and a carebear. That was it. They prizes were overall bleh in the machines. Outdated Halloween theme plushies, temu-ish Pokémon, and assorted other unknown plush prizes. But that aside the thrill is really winning and not the actual prize a lot of the time right?! Welp the machines were awful, mismatched prizes inside machines where the claw was either too small to even open wide enough to grab a prize or too big that whatever it grabbed would just fall between the claw hands. Parents, save yourself the money and your kiddos some heartbreak and just take them to Dukes Lane and let them pick something to buy at one of those vendor carts. Luckily each kid won a prize and we just hyped them up so they wouldn't be as disappointed. If you're ever in SoCal we suggest ChibiClaws - A+ prizes and they even give you tips on how to play on the different machines to help. They're staffed well and make sure each kiddos leaves happy. I guess at tourist traps like Fantasy Claws at the International Marketplace they don't count on repeat business, so they're ok scamming. We visit Oahu often though and we for sure won't come back. You have been warned

    My winnings!

    Came here on a date night with my husband and we had such a great time! Most games were only 1-2 tokens, so very reasonably priced. We won multiple plushies and even a gift card, and the attendant was very kind and explained the process very well. I always wanted to come to a claw arcade and this was a great one to do so!

    All our winnings from today, such a fun spot!!

    Fun, colorful claw machines with a good mix of prizes. Some take patience, but the wins feel satisfying. Easy to lose track of time and leave in a great mood

    Fun arcade great for kids. Friendly environment, great for the family. Easy to win ! Will recommend

    I would recommend this specific location to families wanting to experience Keiki Kingdom. We've…read morebeen here twice with our 6 kids and it's always been younger children playing which is a relief from the other location which allows older children and teens to participate on the second floor to which they do not always stay. The parking is good. It's fenced in which may seem suspicious but I'm sure it's an attempt to protect its customers and the business. This location had everything operating during our visit. The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the business is very clean. It's remarkably tidy in fact! Kudos to the staff. My kids enjoyed the slides the most. There is a lot for kids and toddlers to do here. There is one slide that I was concerned about where it's seemingly a straight drop but it's not but still my heart skips a beat when I think of a smaller child attempting to slide down it. So be warned. We visit during off hours where we nearly get the place to ourselves! And for anyone wondering, they do offer military discount! I would highly recommend this Keiki Kingdom Location above all.

    I spent $98 to bring my three kids to Keiki Kingdom on Beretania for two hours, and unfortunately…read morethe experience felt like a bait-and-switch. The lack of customer service started before we even entered the play area. At check-in, I asked for specific sock sizes for my children and was met with complete indifference. It set the tone for the entire visit. Many of the attractions and play areas advertised were either closed, broken, incomplete, or poorly maintained. The zipline course was closed for the first hour of our visit. The train table had zero trains. The princess play area was nearly empty, with no costumes and very few toys. The play kitchen was missing most of its accessories, with only a couple drawers containing play food, and the SMEG play refrigerator was broken. The overall maintenance was disappointing. Several play areas felt neglected, and some equipment appeared to have been out of service for quite some time rather than temporarily unavailable. There were even broken claw machines and other unused equipment sitting around the facility, giving parts of the space the feeling of a toy graveyard rather than a premium children's play center. The facility simply did not reflect what is advertised online. What frustrated me most was the lack of staff engagement. My child became stuck inside the jungle gym, and when I asked a staff member for help, she looked at me and walked away. Whether it was a language barrier, lack of training, or simply not caring, there was no attempt to assist. There were also strange setup choices that made the experience worse. A speaker for the projector was mounted directly above the play kitchen area, blasting audio into children's ears while they were trying to play there. For nearly $100, I expect a clean, well-maintained facility with functioning attractions, stocked play areas, and staff who are willing to help families. Instead, we found broken equipment, closed attractions, empty play stations, and indifferent customer service. I don't mind paying premium prices for a great experience. I do mind paying premium prices for an experience that feels neglected and significantly different from what is advertised. The biggest disappointment wasn't that one or two things were broken. It was that broken attractions, empty play areas, disengaged staff, and obvious maintenance issues all existed at the same time.
