Timezone Quayside Isle

Timezone Quayside Isle is a brand new arcade on the marina promenade at Sentosa Cove, in a row of waterfront restaurants with the yachts moored a few metres from the door.

For a small room it carries most of what the chain does: claw machines, arcade cabinets, rhythm games, VR, bumper cars and a set of mini bowling lanes, with a prize shop at the end where tickets get traded in. It takes birthday and group bookings as well. It is the only Timezone in Singapore that is not inside a shopping mall.

Give the whole afternoon to it. A boardwalk runs right round the marina, so you can wander along looking at the boats, eat lunch at one of the places on the quay, and let the children loose on the machines afterwards. This is the quiet end of Sentosa and it feels a long way from the rest of the island, which is most of the appeal — the crowds are all back at the beaches. To get here, take the Sentosa Express to Beach Station and change to Bus B, which loops round to the Quayside Isle stop.
