Looking for a fun and unique spot to enjoy with family and friends? Step into Minnesota’s largest modern Asian-themed claw machine arcade experience! Dive into a world of excitement with rows of vibrant claw machines, Gacha machines, and a playful atmosphere perfect for all ages.
Japanese-style claw machine arcades are a distinctive type of arcade game found predominantly in Japan, often referred to as “UFO catchers.” These machines feature a mechanical claw that players control—usually with a joystick and buttons—to try and pick up various prizes, ranging from plush toys and figurines to unique collectibles.
A gacha machine is a type of vending machine that dispenses capsule toys—small collectibles sealed inside plastic capsules. You insert a coin, turn a crank or press a button, and receive a random capsule containing one of many possible toys.
Why It’s Called “Gacha”
The name “gacha” (or “gachapon”) comes from the onomatopoeia that mimics the sounds these machines make during operation. The “gacha” sound represents the turning or shaking of the machine, while “pon” imitates the sound of the capsule dropping out. Over time, this playful sound effect became synonymous with the experience, giving the machines their name.
The space is packed with fun and beautifully designed. With big windows letting in plenty of natural light, the bright and airy setting makes it a joy to hang out and play. The modern aesthetic, paired with colorful machines and cozy seating areas, creates the perfect backdrop for fun and relaxation.
At Duck! in Eagan, guests can enjoy bubble tea and Korean shaved ice. The bubble tea comes with tapioca pearls in a sweet, chilled drink, while the Korean shaved ice is made with finely shaved ice topped with syrup and a bit of condensed milk. These treats provide a quick break that fits with the arcade’s Asian-inspired theme.
What truly makes this place special is the staff. Friendly, kind, and always ready to help, they go out of their way to ensure everyone has a great time—whether you’re a claw machine pro or a first-timer. And if you’re planning a special celebration, this hotspot also hosts birthday parties and events! Imagine a party filled with games, laughter, and tasty treats—all in one welcoming, light-filled space. Whether you’re here to snag that perfect prize or celebrate a special day, unforgettable memories await!
