I don’t even want to know how much money I’ve lost trying to catch a stuffed animal out of those claw machines at King Soopers, but I fully intend to get revenge at a new place dedicated to those machines in Denver!

Crane Games, which will be located at 2740 S. Havana St., Ste M, Aurora, opened last year.

The arcade features more than 40 different claw machines filled with plushies and stuffed animals waiting to be snatched up.

Crane Games has 26 large claw machines where players can win big plushies and toys, as well as 16 others with small prizes, such as keychains and small trinkets. Guests purchase tokens that they then feed the games to play.
