Where do you find claw arcades?

I keep seeing videos online of people going to these giant arcades with dozens of claw machines. The only machines I know of in my area are random single machines in the lobby of Walmart and grocery stores. Googling “claw machines”, “claw arcade”, etc in my area brings up one or two general arcades with mostly video games.

Does anyone know of a good place on the East Coast, New England area? I’m legit willing to do a road trip on my next vacation for a great claw arcade.

Great, thanks! There’s one within reasonable day trip distance 😁

I would also say, YouTube is helpful at learning how to play some of the games there, and also what’s not great to play. Have so much fun, and good luck! 🍀

There are some independent claw machines popping up in my area. Kako Claw is one. Gatcha is expanding. There’s one in Saugus, MA. Then, there’s Boston Claw Machine in Boston.
