The prices of the credit vary on amount and it can get quite expensive, the prizes are not worth the credit we spend but that isn't the point of the prizes. Also you get a reusable card which I think if you come often to make sure to bring it and just refill the amount to waive the new card activation fee. We didn't get to stay long to play the games we wanted since it was crowded and the game we wanted was pretty popular. Would like to try again next time and will bring our card for a refill!

Arcade with a view of Newport Harbor? Yes please…read more This is a great little family owned and operated arcade in the Balboa Fun Zone. Pro tip: If you need more than one card (so each kid can have their own), you can select the number of cards you need, and then the total amount with bonus credits, and it will automatically split the total credits among each card. This lets you maximize your bonus credits. Nice!

Wow. Visiting here brought back some hardcore memories! I remember coming here with my dad when I…read morewas young and lived in California. It is good to see that it is still running strong and still running off of nickels (although most games require more than one). The game selection is actually pretty impressive considering how much you are paying per game. There is everything ranging from casino-style games, to shooter games, to Pump-It-Up (similar to DDR). We had a great time here for about 1.5 hours and paid under $20. You can't beat that! They also have a prize area where you can exchange tickets won from games for physical prizes but we aren't really big fans of those. There were a few games that were out of order which was a bummer but as I mentioned before, we had 1.5 hours of play for under $20. It's hard to complain when the prices are that low. The parking is plentiful in that strip mall and it was well-lit enough to make it feel safe. Check this place out!

We'll definitely be booking another event there soon. And the food downstairs amazing we were able to order pizzas, Tacos hamburgers, chicken bowls. My son had a really great birthday! Thanks, Sonny I'm making that happen!

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the food was delicious. And bonus they have a Pokémon pinball machine. What really got me about the place is you can bring your kids there if you want or come with just adult activities in mind. Definitely check this place out. It's huge and tastefully magnetic.

I don't know how this place doesn't have many more reviews but this is such a cute spot to take…read morekids or even a date to if they're into all these cute stuffed animals! They have a great variety, and the claw isn't weak, although it did take a few times on some machines to get a winning, I think that could be from the prize being a little heavy. Overall, I think the price is good a dollar per try, they had good music going on, a good amount of customers in there, even though it's in a mall that's slowly closing down. Me and my daughter had a great time, we probably spent over an hour there.

This is located within the Westminster mall, on the second floor occupying a pretty large space. I came to this location because the Groupon I had only worked here and not at the Alhambra location. The worker at the location was nice and took care of my Groupon. She gave us a basket for our tokens. She mentioned that this is probably the largest Kawaii Klaws location out of all the another areas. There are easily 30+ different claw machines in this location. There was enough variety in plushies among the machines, but I wish they had more as there were a lot of commonalities among Sanrio and a lot of bunny inspired plushies. We left with 4 plushies on this visit, the staff working their was friendly and she said she loved my bf's and my energy which I thought was so lovely of her to mention...I asked her name but forgot but she was really sweet. If you're looking for a place to kill time and want to try and score some cute plushies this is the place!

If you're into 80s/90s games, arcade games, pinball machines, and console games both retro and current. Locate on the historical Main Street and with cool vibe. There's a bar in the middle of the room and surrounds by games and tables plus movies posters plus other on the walls. There is patios seating in the back for smokers. Games are cheap to play, a quarter or two and it was blast from the past. There're cocktails and snacks to purchase and you got to be 21yo to get in. Drinks are okey, not great and not bad either..for the prices, can't complaint. Service is friendly and chill. Had a fun time and relived some past game times.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!…read more I should have known by the mixed reviews. I drove 30 minutes out of the way, hoping for quality service. I took two bins of vintage games to them to get looked at. Gotta call the next afternoon with a very low ball offer ...they claim to pay the most......I went to BookOff the week before and got quoted double the price??? Then I was told that two of the gaming systems didn't work . I had no issues with BookOff. BookOff tested them, they had no issues. When I went to pick up my stuff, I guess a third gaming system-had been added to the not working list it had a bight green posted attached. Thankfully... Just picked up my money from BookOff with no issues they took all the systems. ***Math isn't mathing.

It's cool for the kids but time flies by fast and we were done before you knew it. It's ok, I'd do it again, but, the experience was nothing extraordinary, ya know.

This was neat to find because the DFW GWL did not have a mini gold and my daughter loves mini golf…read more The two improvements I thought were that every time we played nobody was on duty. We had to go to the arcade for help and you have to pay at the arcade even if someone is on duty. Also, it's $7 a person which I feel is steep considering it is a compact 9 hole course. However, it's in the dark with a cool glow in the dark look. You can pick form 4-5 different color balls and putters. There are some typical crazy bends and places you have to hit the ball to get to the hole. Also some structures you have to get into at some point. It was never crowded and we had a great time every time we played. It was a real nice option.
