📍 Palmerston North Central, Manawatu-Wanganui
Timezone Palmerston Square is the central Palmerston North branch of the national Timezone arcade chain — arcade games, mini-bowling, ColourGrid floor challenge, and a Winners' Vault prize shop where Powertickets are traded for prizes. Birthday party packages with dedicated hosts.
We celebrated my son’s 9th birthday at Timezone on October 11th, and I just have to say — it’s an amazing place for a birthday party! Our party host, Bee, was absolutely wonderful. She spent an hour and a half playing games with the kids and taking great care of them. The party room was spacious, clean, and well-prepared with all the necessary supplies like disposable plates and cups. As a mum of three, I’ve held many birthday parties at different places, but this one was truly the best experience we’ve ever had. I’d love to send my heartfelt thanks again to all the staff for making our day so special. 💛
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for kids and teens, especially birthday parties. Reviewers consistently name party hosts (Bee, Harry, Jorja named across multiple reviews) and call out how engaged the kids stay through the session. Suits ages roughly 5+ — the games favour kids who can read prompts and use controllers.

“We took a big group of our young people to play at Time zone, the place was packed and stuff were busy but Harry was awesome and even helped us get some booth photos done which made a huge difference! The 5 stars are for his service!”

“Awesome place to spend a few hours. Candy pusher is so much fun. All games pay out more often than other arcades! Manager Jorja is super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend.”
