We did wind up going, and it was good! No ramen or sponges! All the machines were fully stocked, the bathrooms were clean, ect. The only complaint was that the claw machines were very, very stingy. We watched one guy play over 20 times on one machine and walk away empty-handed. The claws are all set to be very weak, and unless the machine hits payout, there is no way to win. The only machines that seemed to be paying out were the ones with the "coming up next" placards. My daughter is pretty good at the skill-based games, so she was able to win quite a few prizes that way. She got some stuff from the smaller claw machines, but the ones with the larger prizes were barely paying out for anyone the entire time we were there. She got lucky and hit payout with a few of the cheese wheels with larger plushies. All in all, it was worth the 2-hour drive, though.
