Kentucky's First and Largest Clawcade Opening Soon!

Kentucky is about to get its first Japanese-style claw machine arcade, and it looks awesome!

My bonus son, Carter, is a pro when it comes to the claw machines that you'll see at arcades and other establishments. Most people get frustrated with them pretty quickly because you will drop the claw down in a good position, and as soon as it starts picking up the prize, that prize falls down. Not with Carter. He has these machines down to a science. I don't think there's a claw machine that he hasn't won a prize from. That's why when I saw the news about a new arcade coming to Kentucky that was full of awesome claw machines, I knew that this was something that I had to share with you. Prepare for...The Clawwww...

Claw Zone Arcade Coming to Kentucky

Claw Zone Arcade is Kentucky's first and largest clawcade. The 5,500-square-foot arcade in Louisville will feature more than 100 claw machines with different prizes, such as plushies and Asian drinks and snacks. Guests will also have the option of trading in multiple prizes for bigger prizes, such as giant plushies.

At the time of this writing, they don't have an official opening date, but we know that it will be opening up in May sometime. This place looks amazing, and I already know that I will be making some trips there with Carter. Oh, and according to WDRB, the owner of Claw Zone hopes to eventually open similar arcades in Lexington and southern Indiana.

Stay up to date with Claw Zone by following them on Facebook and Instagram, as Claw Zone will be announcing the official opening date soon!

16 Of the Most Dangerous Creatures in Kentucky

I guess you could consider the Commonwealth lucky. A Florida list would include alligators, constricting serpents, and panthers. That doesn't mean this group is nothing to sneeze at, though. And a big tip of the hat to Bird Watching HQ for rounding this rascals up. They are listed in no particular order.
