I tend to be the one on my team at work who organizes team events. We have an intern this summer. I…read moreget a bit of a break. Sort of. She is in charge of our summer event. Everyone has been suggesting ideas. My suggestions come flowing out because it's just my nature. One of them is Claw Land. I know that a handful of folks like that idea. However, they are mainly the younger folks on the team. We have three older men to convince. We'll see what happens. My recommendation comes from my experience playing claw games here a few months ago. It was a Yelp experience. For someone who has genuinely sucked at claw games in my life, playing them here boosted my confidence. Staff take the time to show you how to play the game and truly want you to succeed. We were trying to figure out how much it would be for a group to come here. We have the option to book a private event for two hours. Tokens are 15% off the regular price and start at 1000 tokens for $500. We'd have the place for two hours, with seating for ten people. The catch is that this blocked time has to be on a weekend. Bummer. We were hoping for a weekday. We asked if we could just play on a Friday. Yes! We'd have to negotiate tokens for a smaller group of eight folks, but things look promising right now. It's on budget and it's fairly close to our office. It was roughly a twenty-minute drive to get there after work on a Wednesday. Claw Land is located in a plaza with lots of parking. I didn't have any issues finding a parking spot. Staff are nice. One female staffer showed how to play on one of the numerous claw machines. She also pointed out that each machine has a level of difficulty rating and points that you get if you win. Cool! I seriously thought that I'd be horrible at the easy claw machines. They actually built my confidence up. I won two plushies on two different easy-level machines. Insane and cool! Say yes to a cart! I thought that I wouldn't win any plushies, but everyone is a winner here. You can trade your plushies up for different ones. I traded up for two larger plushies. This place didn't have a tip jar. I wanted to tip so badly. The woman said that writing a review is a good equivalent. Here it is! I'm hoping that our team says yes to coming here for our event. Otherwise, I may need to gather my colleagues for an after-work claw game event for us. (244)

Initially, I was not getting the hang of it due to numerous failed attempts but the staff were so helpful. Their plushies were so cute and attractive that you would be confused which machine to play. Each machine though has a different level of difficulty and amount of coins required to play. Also, each plushy has a corresponding point so you can exchange the plushies for a bigger one.

We booked a birthday party here for 11 children during an extreme heat wave, only to arrive and…read morediscover there was no air conditioning. We later learned the AC had reportedly been out of service for about two weeks, yet no one contacted us in advance to let us know or offer the option to reschedule. Had we known, we never would have brought a group of children into those conditions. An Orange Heat Alert was in effect, and both children and adults became overheated. Some showed signs of heat exhaustion, and the kids were struggling to participate. Instead of enjoying their birthday, they left sweaty and disappointed. To make matters worse, the staff member assigned to our party was called away to a lengthy staff meeting while we were the only party there. We struggled to get water refills when they were most needed. Mara was helpful whenever she was available, but overall the staff seemed unprepared, and no manager came to check on our group or address the situation. What was most disappointing wasn't just the broken AC--it was how the situation was handled. There was no advance warning, no apology from the GM, no effort to mitigate the conditions with fans, complimentary cold drinks, arcade passes, or any other accommodation. Customer safety and satisfaction should have been the priority. We paid a hefty price for a memorable birthday celebration and instead experienced an unsafe and deeply disappointing afternoon. I hope management takes responsibility for how this was handled so other families don't have the same experience.
