Everyone loves a go at the arcade claw machine, but winning is harder than it looks. Here are a few claw machine tips and tricks to help you win that prize you have an eye on:

1. 1. Pay Attention to the Player Before You. You can learn a lot about a claw machine by watching the player in front of you play. Pay close attention to the way the claw grips the prizes and how smoothly the crane moves. This will help you better gauge your own moves when your turn comes.
   2. Carefully Pick Your Prize. Generally some prizes are in a better position to be won than others. If there’s a prize you really want, you might need to first target another plush to free up the one you really want. Either way, you want to go for a prize that is sticking out or on top of the pile. Also, keep in mind that round prizes are generally harder to grab than angular prizes.
   3. Fell Out the Claw. On your first attempt, pay special attention to the way the claw grips and how low it descends. This will be crucial info for your second attempt. You may even want to pick a new target after you get a better feel for the claw and a greater understanding of how it operates. Every claw is a little bit different!
   4. Use the Claw to Move Prizes Around. Your first instinct is always going to be to go right for the prize, but sometimes it is better to use the claw to bump the prize into a better position to set yourself up for a successful second attempt.

Come try your hand at the claw machine and other games in our expansive Charleston arcade. Check out our specials for discounted arcade plays, and make your plans to visit our Charleston amusement park today!

We are often asked, “how old do children need to be to ride in a go-kart?” At Charleston Fun Park, we strive to make sure everyone is safe and having a good time. That’s why we have to put some limitation and restrictions on our go-karts.

How Old do You Have to be to Ride a Go-Kart?

At Charleston Fun Park, kids that are at least 38 inches tall (regardless of age) can ride in a go-kart with a licensed driver who is at least 54 inches tall. This restriction is simply to make sure riders are the proper size for the safety harness and other safety measures to work properly. All kids grow at different rates, but the 38 inches guideline allows for many children of roughly 3 years old to ride. Remember though, riding is based on height, not age.

To drive a go-kart, anyone who is 54 inches or taller is allowed to drive. Individuals with a valid driver license who are also 54 inches or taller are allowed to have a rider in one of our double seaters.

Fun fact: You pay per car, not driver! This means that passengers in our two-seater go-karts ride at no additional cost!

Even if your little one is too small to ride on our go-karts, there’s still lots for them to do. Our arcade is fun for all ages, and we also offer mini bowling for guests 1 years old or older!

So bring the whole family down to enjoy our Charleston attractions, and make sure to check our specials for ways to save!

With Valentine’s Day and love in the air this month, we’re thinking about the classic arcade games that we love to love. Check out a few of our favorites below and don’t forget to comment with your favorites!

• • Space Invaders – This 1978 game is one of the first arcade “shoot ‘em ups.” The game was influenced by earlier games such as Breakout  and Gun Fight, but quickly surpassed both in popularity.

• • Asteroids – This Atari classic was released in 1979 and quickly became one of the first major hits of the golden age of arcade games. In it, the player controls a small spaceship that must blast itself through an asteroid field.

• • Pac-Man – Developed by Namco, this 1980 arcade game established the so called “maze chase” genre. The game has spawned near countless spin-offs (including the wonderful and ever popular Ms. Pac-Man) and continues to be an icon today.

• • Frogger – This Konami classic was released in arcades in 1981. The premise — taking on the role of a frog trying to cross a road and river — is a simple one but the gameplay is addictive and can be quite challenging.
  • Donkey Kong – This one is a great example of an early platformer. Released in 1981 by Nintendo, it also marks the first appearance Mario (originally named Jumpman). Fun fact: Mario was originally intended to be a carpenter, but his profession was changed to a plumber in latter appearances.
