🧸 CLAW MACHINE ARCADE IN AUSTIN 🧸

📍 2525 W Anderson Ln. Suite 288, Austin, TX

🧸 This was the best claw machine arcade we’ve been to! Did they win every time? No! But were there tears this time? Also no! There was a very kind lady who walked around “fluffing” the toys for everyone. If she noticed that you kept trying and were getting frustrated, she would stack it for you to make it easier. Also, we were told that if you double tap the button once it grabs the toy that it will clamp down harder and not drop it early. I think this worked on most machines (definitely NOT the SpongeBob!)

If you’ve had trouble winning at claw machines in the past, I would highly recommend checking this place out!

You can even trade in your smaller toys for jumbo toys!
