Grabbit Arcade — Local services in Maplewood

Recently, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting the newly opened Grabbit Arcade. Despite its modest size, this charming spot managed to exceed our expectations, providing an unexpectedly delightful experience that left us both eager to recommend it to others.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a vibrant array of claw machines, each one filled with a wide variety of prizes that ranged from cute plush toys to intriguing figures. The colorful setup and the lively atmosphere instantly set a fun and exciting tone for our visit.

What truly set this place apart was not just the assortment of games, but the surprisingly fair chance of winning. Unlike many other arcades where success feels tantalizingly out of reach, here we found ourselves celebrating multiple wins, which only added to the joy of our experience. The machines were well-maintained and operated smoothly, ensuring that every attempt felt like a fair shot at snagging a prize.

The what I was assuming to be the owner also contributed greatly to our positive experience. They were friendly, welcoming, and always on hand to assist with any questions or issues that arose. Their enthusiasm for the arcade and its games was contagious, making us feel even more engaged and excited to play.

Even though the space was on the smaller side, it was well-organized and never felt overcrowded. This cozy atmosphere made our time there more intimate and enjoyable, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the fun without the distractions of a larger, more chaotic arcade.

In conclusion, this claw machine arcade is a hidden gem that offers an enjoyable and rewarding experience for visitors of all ages. Whether you're looking for a fun date idea, a place to hang out with friends, or simply an opportunity to win some unique prizes, this arcade is definitely worth a visit. My girlfriend and I left with not only a handful of adorable plushies but also fond memories of our time spent there. We eagerly look forward to our next visit and highly recommend this delightful spot to anyone in search of...

Been here a few times over the course of the 2024 year. First time I went with a couple of kids (age 8 and 10) in April and it was pretty neat as it was hyped and the machines were not super easy but wasn't impossible to leave without a couple of cute prizes. We did spend about $80 that time. Fast forward to August and went with a 2 teenagers and 2 kids age 6 and 4 and spent about $150 and didn't win too much. I noticed the toys were more difficult to grab this time. Finally, we went again in a few days ago and I spent $20 only because the machines were super difficult to win. (it was basically like the ping pong ball and lifting a beer bottle with a pole and string at the state fair- nearly impossible to win!) there was only 1 big machine ( a couple of other ones weren't turned on) that was the classic claw game and i did get 1 small sized stuffy about 6 inches. the rest were SOOOO INCREDIBLY hard, and so the kids i went with age 9 and 12 could not and did not win anything. the games this time were not kid friendly- nor adult friendly besides the tiny sized ones that have like candy and tiny squishy toys. the games were all about skill and not luck... Its nice to see some of the challenges and changes to the machines/games, but seeing that the majority of them were this style makes it not super fun anymore. we were very disappointed this time around and next time if we go back we will have to take a closer look at the machines and game tactics before...

Grabbit Arcade throws me back to my time in Japan!! I was only in town for a week and I already wanting to come back!

Let’s start off with esthetics! The claw machines have beautiful, bright, vibrant colors that really draws in your attention. You can't help but walk in to check out the store. The prizes? What’s amazing is the number of prizes I won with few attempts while still having many tokens left to play! I’ve gone to other arcades where I don’t win anything. Not to mention, the QUALITY of the prizes. It doesn’t feel like the knock off, cheap kind that I’ve seen/felt. You could really tell that the owners value QUALITY over QUANTITY.

Speaking of the owners, Daniel, made my experience even more enjoyable and memorable—he was very personable, exudes amazing customer service, he was friendly, and his overall energy was great! HIGHLLLYYYY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO COME TO GRABBIT ARCADE! They even have mini claw machines for the little toddlers to even play.

I could tell how much the kids AND the adults enjoyed their time in Grabbit. Can't wait to come back! If you haven't checked out Grabbit...
