Looking for a fun hangout spot in Surabaya? Check out the modern and spacious Timezone at Galaxy Mall 3! It’s not just for kids—this arcade features its own mini bowling lanes, perfect for a friendly competition. The ultimate hack: top up your card on a weekend to instantly double your balance! It’s an ideal destination for a fun date, a family outing, or just to chill with friends and burn off some energy without breaking the bank.
My old followers know how much I love going to the mall, but honestly, I haven't been to an arcade in ages... I always thought it was just for kids. But last weekend, my friend dragged me to this Timezone at Galaxy Mall 3 in Surabaya, Anjay! It completely blew my mind. 🤯
As soon as I walked in, I was amazed. This was nothing like the dark, noisy arcades I remembered! The whole place was super spacious, bright, and clean, with a very modern design[1], definitely a top player in the Indonesian arcade scene[2]. What surprised me most was that they actually added a bowling area![3] Although there are only 4 lanes, and they're a bit shorter than standard ones, the atmosphere was fantastic, and everyone was having a blast. And the price was so reasonable, only 25k IDR per game[4], so you can Nongkrong all afternoon without any pressure.
But to be honest, even though I had a great time, I felt the game selection was a bit unbalanced. Racing games, basketball shooting games, and those ticket-spewing games dominated most of the space, but the shooting games I was really looking forward to, and the old card-collecting games, I couldn't find them after searching for ages[5], which was a bit disappointing. Another minor gripe is that after winning, waiting for the machine to spit out tickets takes forever... If they could directly save the points to the card, that would be Mantap[6], saving time and being more environmentally friendly.
