Timezone Arcades Ranked – Biggest & Best

Timezone has arcades all over Singapore, from Jurong to Punggol. This popular chain has progressively updated and upgraded its outlets. The biggest now fills 22,000 square feet under Orchard Road with bumper cars, two kinds of bowling and a six-player VR arena, while the smallest is a single room of machines in a neighbourhood mall. Here they are sorted into tiers, based on what each one has on the floor.

S-Tier: worth crossing the island for

🏆 Timezone Orchard Xchange

Orchard Xchange is the biggest arcade in Singapore and the best one Timezone runs. It fills 22,000 square feet of basement directly under Orchard Road with 160 games and attractions, and it is the only outlet that has everything the chain makes: bumper cars, mini bowling, social bowling, ColourGrid, and Arkadia, a VR arena that six people play at once.

It tops the list because a nine-year-old and a nineteen-year-old can both spend two hours here without running out of things to do, which is not true anywhere else. Weekends and school holidays are packed, so go on a weekday evening.

🏆 Timezone Jurong Point

Jurong Point has an attraction that exists nowhere else in the country. Its MAXI drift bumper cars are built to slide rather than just bump into each other, and Timezone calls them Singapore’s first and only. That alone makes the trip to Boon Lay worth it.

It is 17,000 square feet with 160 games, so it is not a one-attraction venue: social bowling, VR, dance and drum machines and a wall of claw machines fill the rest, and there is a party room. Jurong Point is one of the busiest malls in Singapore and the arcade gets just as busy, so go on a weekday.

A-Tier: destinations in their own right

🥈 Timezone Westgate

Westgate is the biggest arcade in the chain after Orchard Xchange, at 18,000 square feet with more than 170 games — more games than Jurong Point, in fact. It is one tier down for a single reason: no bumper cars.

It has both kinds of bowling, ColourGrid, and a floor split into Carnival, Racing and Music zones, which makes finding what you came for easier than the single room most arcades run. In the west, come here for the biggest floor and Jurong Point for the drift cars.

🥈 Timezone VivoCity

VivoCity was the chain’s original flagship and still has the combination that matters for young children: bumper cars and Highway66 mini bowling, where shorter lanes and lighter balls mean a six-year-old plays a real game rather than a novelty one. It takes birthdays and company events, and sits directly above the HarbourFront interchange, which makes it the easiest of the big outlets to reach without a car.

🥈 Timezone Pasir Ris Mall

Pasir Ris Mall is the newest in the east and the one to pick for younger children on that side of the island. Mini bowling is built for them rather than adapted for them, and the VR is Hologate, which puts four players into the same game instead of one at a time. It is attached to the station and the bus interchange.

B-Tier: good arcades if you are already nearby

Most of these are games floors — claw machines, redemption games, racing, rhythm and VR cabinets, and a prize shop — without the bowling, bumper cars or arenas of the tiers above. For an hour after school or with friends, any of them does the job.

Two stand out. Waterway Point moved upstairs into a much larger unit a couple of years ago, runs Asphalt 9 Legends on a motion base that moves with the track, and has party rooms with a fridge for the cake. Northpoint City covers the widest age range of any outlet at this level, from toddlers up to teenagers, and takes birthday bookings with a host.

Quayside Isle is the only Timezone in Singapore that is not inside a shopping mall. It sits on the marina promenade at Sentosa Cove among the waterfront restaurants, and for a small room it carries a lot: bumper cars, mini bowling, VR and claw machines. What keeps it out of the tiers above is the journey, which means the Sentosa Express to Beach Station and then Bus B. Give it a whole afternoon and that stops mattering — walk the boardwalk round the marina, eat lunch on the quay, and let everyone loose on the machines afterwards. This is the quiet end of Sentosa, away from the beach crowds.

The rest are sorted by where you happen to be. Plaza Singapura sits seven floors above Dhoby Ghaut where three lines meet, and leans hard on claw machines. Causeway Point is the north’s main arcade, seven floors straight up from Woodlands station. City Square Mall stocks its prize shop with collectables and gadgets rather than only soft toys. Our Tampines Hub is in the basement of the community hub, alongside the library and the swimming pools. Marina Square is ringed by offices, so it is quiet on weekday afternoons and busy after work.

C-Tier: not a trip in itself

🅲 Timezone Hougang Mall

Hougang Mall is a little over 3,000 square feet, roughly a seventh of Orchard Xchange. There is room for the basics and nothing more: claw machines, redemption games, driving simulators, rhythm cabinets and a VR setup, with no bowling, no bumper cars and no party room.

None of that is a criticism of how it is run. For anyone in Hougang it beats crossing the island for half an hour after school, but a birthday booked here would run out of things to do before the cake came out.

🅲 Timezone SingPost Centre

SingPost Centre is above Paya Lebar station and built around a single Storm VR motion rig, with a couple of ticket games, dance and drum machines and a run of claw machines around it. There is no bowling and there are no bumper cars.

It does a good twenty minutes if you are changing trains or coming down from the offices upstairs. For an afternoon with children, Pasir Ris Mall is a few stops along the same line and has the mini bowling and the four-player VR.

Reading before you go

The Powercard works at every outlet here, so picking a tier is not a commitment to one arcade; that guide covers how the bonuses work and the rule that catches people out. If the visit is a birthday, birthday parties at Timezone goes through what the packages include, which matters because only some of these outlets have party rooms. And Timezone isn’t just arcade machines any more covers the attractions that separate the top of this list from the bottom.

One outlet is missing from the tiers above: Timezone’s Parkway Parade arcade closed on 31 August 2026.

Details change — confirm attractions and opening hours with the outlet before you travel. If something on one of our listings is out of date, there’s a form at the bottom of every one.
