Timezone returns to Palmerston North with new gaming arcade

Timezone is bringing video gaming back to Palmerston North in a new arcade.

The parlour will open in the Downtown on Broadway shopping centre on Saturday, with a grand opening party the following weekend.

It will be Timezone’s 11th New Zealand arcade, featuring more than 100 game machines, such as Dance Dance Revolution and air hockey, as well as newer virtual reality games.

Downtown centre manager Greg Key said talks of the arcade franchise returning to the mall began a year ago and if it wasn’t for delays due to Covid-19 Timezone may have opened as early as April.
