Trying to kill some time with a kid? A claw machine arcade is the way to go. We recently hit up Horae Play before brunch and Finn had a blast.
Located in the UES (though there are a few similar spots scattered around the city), the small shop has tons of claw machines filled with quality stuffed animals. Each token costs a dollar, max, though there are price incentives to getting more tokens. The best part is that it’s a guaranteed win situation so worst case scenario you just spend $10 and walked away with a stuffed animal and some giggles.
Let me tell you – kids love the bright neon of this place. And they love winning. That makes this place absolute heaven. It might just have to be the next bday party location…
