A fun, nostalgia-driven arcade experience is opening at Easton Town Center this spring.

Fantasy Claw Arcade will make its way to the second floor of the Station Building at Easton, next to Abercrombie Kids, sometime in May, according to the Fantasy Claw Arcade website. The Japanese-inspired claw arcade—which currently has locations in Hawaii, Las Vegas, and Henderson, NV—will house 60+ prize redemption machines, including mini, standard, and digital claws.

“Fantasy Claw is a high-energy game experience that blends nostalgic claw machines with a modern, updated design—with the chance to win the best collectible prizes,” said Easton management. “Fantasy Claw will bring families together for a new fun and interactive experience at Easton.”

Prizes will include plush toys, electronics, collectibles, gift cards, and more, according to Fantasy Claw’s website. And their “prize portal” will allow for prizes to be traded in for larger ones.

Fantasy Claw Arcade at Easton will be open Monday – Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 12-6 p.m., according to Fantasy Claw’s website. The arcade will also be available to host birthday parties and private events.
