Cute claw arcade in Torrance with a decent number of machines, friendly staff and clean setup. 1…read moretoken per game on the larger machines but two plays per token on the smaller ones. Very cute selection of plushies and trade ups are possible but for the medium/large stuffies only. I've become somewhat of a regular of these arcades as they've been popping up in SoCal, and have become somewhat good at figuring out what helps for machines. Weight distribution matters and claw strength! I found that the small machines were much easier to win prizes (maybe by intention) and the larger machines had such cute prizes but loose grip strength in the claw making it harder to win the bigger, good prizes. So all of a sudden your tokens start vanishing quickly. I had 50 token credits and ended up with two medium sized plushies and 6 small items, which for me is on the smaller end of a haul. Still had fun but other claw arcades may give you a better win rate. Parking is plentiful, in the same lot as a Dollar Tree and several other stores.

I love this place! I usually get $60 for 75 tokens and every machine is 1 token. Thats such a good…read moredeal because the machines aren't rigged. If they are they are doing a good job letting people win most of the time. I think there were a few machines at time I had to try 8 times and gave up because I couldn't pick up the plushie. But usually one token I get one plushie. This place is absolutely addictive but I like it over other places because you can upgrade your plushies for bigger ones at the front desk. It's such a nice treat because if we have a bunch of little ones we don't want, and a big one we do like better, it's worth it. I leave with at least one big plushie that I exchange for 8 medium plushies, and a few more medium plushies. Total I take home each trip 1 big plushie, and 3-6 medium to little plushies. Other claw machine places I feel cheated because you either have to put a bunch of coins in to play once, or the plushies aren't easy to grab. This place is not only affordable, but you put one coin for each machine for one play. It's really fair and wants you to win. The cherry on top is the plushie upgrade exchange after you're done playing. I come here at least once a month because it's really fun

This is a fun little arcade located at Shoreline Village. We had some time to kill before dinner so…read morewe spent a little time here. It is kind of a miniature Dave and Busters with a lot of mechanical type games, some video games, and a big carousel in the middle. We played some air hockey, skeet ball, and a few "drop the claw to grab a prize" games. One of the staff members was restocking an identical machine that we were playing next to us and he gave us a wink and said he'd leave a few items in an easy position which was nice of him. Of course we took advantage of his kindness and nabbed a few small stuffed animals. To play the games, you put cash or a credit card into the token machine and get a plastic token card to use with the various games. I just put in $20 and it was a fun way to kill 20 minutes.

It somehow popped into my Instagram feed because I was looking at claw machines in Vegas the fun share arcade Instagram account promoted 25 tokens per family for the month of September so I decided why not visit the Redondo Beach location. This arcade has more than just claw machines they have a lot of new machines with video games that Kids and adults would enjoy. The space is just right for kids to be contained where it has a lot of machine and enough claws for kids to be impressed.

My husband and I arrived at exactly 6:00 p.m., hoping to play for about 20 minutes before closing…read more Online, the business states that it closes at 7:00 p.m., while the sign at the entrance says 6:30 p.m., which is already confusing. When we walked in, there were still several people actively playing, but the employees at the front refused to sell us a play card. It was disappointing to be turned away a full 30-60 minutes before the posted closing time, especially while others were still using the facility. If the business stops selling play cards before closing, that policy should be clearly posted online and at the entrance so customers don't make the trip expecting to be able to play.

Recently we were able to even win Pokemon cards from the claw machine and trade up for Needoh type squishy toys!

The machines were hit or miss, a few appeared to be broken and nobody seemed especially interested in fixing or explaining anything. The staff gave off the impression that helping customers was an inconvenience. No guidance, no energy, no sense that anyone cared whether people were actually having a good time. Places like this depend entirely on the experience. If the machines are unreliable and the people working there act like they hate being there, there isn't much left. I wanted this to be fun. Instead, it felt sloppy, overpriced and poorly run. I won't be back.

However, most employees were cleaning in some way which was a good sign. It did feel a little more fresh and clean at this location than other ones. The entrance was interesting because I'm used to just entering the doors and immediately being inside the arcade, but you have to enter through the dilapidated Lakewood Center mall first, and then take escalators up to Round1. It's also a little hectic coming here, because it's right next to Costco. There were an adequate amount of machines, but it definitely seemed smaller than the other locations I visited in LA. However, the skill games and payout rates were very reasonable and fair, and I made out quite well! I won my first Getter Spin game here because the speed was pretty good. You do have to cherry pick a bit, as some of the popular or newer prizes were behind cheese wheels.

Etc They also have food booths for shrimp, hotdogs, kettle corn, clam chowder, Thai food... Etc. What I recommend is coming early so you won't have a problem with parking. You won't have a problem with finding a seat, and the lobster line will be short. Entrance fee $10 with online coupon is $9 You can buy 2 lobsters for $34 or one for $20. They do not allow outside food or drinks. You cannot bring your own chairs. Which is kind of silly because they have a picnic area. They have live bands. Some are good. They have a pirate show for the kids. And this year they had a lot of alcoholsamples for the adults. Now about the lobster. It's steamed it comes with potatoes and a side of butter. Coleslaw too! They have an area where they can cut it open for you. Less work you know. Overall I stay about 4-5 hours max. Best deal for yummy Maine lobsters!
