A fun time! Left with a lot of plushies Craft Land is a hidden gem in the shopping center, especially if you’re looking for something fun to do late at night! It’s one of the only interactive arcades open late, and it’s packed with charm. The claw machines are super affordable, making it easy to try your luck without breaking the bank. While the space is a bit tight, the vibrant decor and friendly staff more than make up for it. The atmosphere is lively, and there’s a fun energy that keeps you coming back. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and craving some good, old-fashioned arcade fun!

Had so much fun and we were able to get so many plushies for only $20. It’s honestly a deal! This is going to be a new hang out spot from now on. It’s way better than shopping because you can win lots of things.

Cute stuff. You can exchange the one you don't want for another items. You need to coins to play. Claw are more harder than the store next door. This one is more harder for kids. But good your teens to have fun

Such a cool place, if you like the claw machine games at the arcade then this is the spot for you, reasonably priced with many claw machines where you can win small and medium size plush toys. it's open late and gets very busy. overall great vibe and something different to do.

My in-laws took us here. They liked the prizes and the games seem fair. We had a lot of fun. The kids managed to win some stuffies, so the claws aren't too loose. Most importantly, the kids had a blast and loved the prizes that they got. Better yet, if you frequent this place regularly, you can trade the stuffies in for other prizes so you don't have to worry about stale repeats.
