Timeline Arcade

Came for a special «Nick Arcade» event. Since this was first time at the arcade I was really excited to give it a try. The place is really awesome with wall to wall games like pinball, skee ball, and driving games. The atmosphere is pretty cool the building has the the game theme in and out. I liked that they movies projecting on the the wall and the free play juke box.
The staff is friendly and the place clean. I also liked the BYOB hours, really fun and the open parking. I hated the joint bathroom, I’m a pretty progressive person and it even weirded me out. I stayed in the stall until the gentleman stopped using the urinal. I hope they can fix that!

Great location in downtown Hanover, Pa. Opening 2^nd location in York Pa this April 2016. We can’t wait to be in Downtown York.

This is the best arcade I’ve seen in a long while! Huge selection of games, many vintage from the 80’s and 90’s. All the machines were in good, if not great condition. About 15 – 20 different pinball machines too. If you want to be thrown back in time to your youth, this place will surely take you there!
We took a trip from Harrisburg to Hanover just for this place alone. It was well worth it. My boyfriend and I love pinball and each bought an all day pass for $ 25. It was money well spent! We checked in shortly before 3pm and ended up staying until 11pm. We took beer and food breaks at the local breweries and bars within walking distance. It made for a great day trip. They also allow BYOB after 7 pm. We took advantage of that and saw many similarly aged patrons doing the same.
Surprisingly, you did not have to wait in line to play most games. The layout of the place was nice. It was very clean and welcoming. It would be a great place for parents to take their kids, as both could connect a bit of pop culture together. It’s a family run establishment and you can tell. The staff was helpful and welcoming.
We plan on returning soon! A must stop if you’re in the area and enjoy old school video games and pinball.

It’s great to find a cool arcade in this day and age. The staff was friendly, the games were a lot of fun, we had a blast.

I visited Timeline with my 4 year old son and we had a blast. It was great playing the old games I grew up playing (mostly at Dream Machine in cranberry mall). We enjoyed playing tons of classics like Space Harrier, Operation Wolf, The Simpsons, TMNT, Contra and pinball. It was row upon row of games and then there was a pinball room and a theater and another room in the back. There are larger games like multi player sit down racing and motos as well as full size basketball, skeet and game consoles. We had a blast.
You dont pump quarters in like the old days however once you buy your time pass (lanyard with swiper) most games are in free mode or a simple swipe gets you going. Time goes by really fast and we were there for an hour and it was 20 $ which was money well spent. I cannot wait to go back and I am so glad this is only 15 minutes from my house!

I went to Timeline Arcade for the first time during their Halloween costume party event. It was a blast! The arcade has a good selection of retro games and pinball machines. The Skee-​ball machine is definitely my favorite. They also have a few consoles, old and new, and a selection of games for those as well.
The space is pretty packed with machines so it was a little difficult to navigate around the place when it was crowded. That’s my only complaint though. It’s a great place to take the kids and have some fun.
I will definitely be going back and I can’t wait for the next event.

Friday night was the first time I’ve been to Timelines new location. I’ve been to the old location in the mall. I was there for a Halloween event. It was a good time. Lots of old school games and some new ones. I paid $ 15 and that included unlimited game play, beer sampling from something wicked (Hanovers newest brew pub), and live music.
The event had a good turn out. The down side of all the people was you had to wait for certain games and it got really hot inside. I would go back and take my kids next time.

Really nice selection of titles and tons of fun to be had if you were an arcade dweller in the past. The only real downside I would say is pricing. If you are a parent and have multiple children you will spend allot of money. I find it unreasonable that there is no discounted rate for children. No matter what the age you pay the same price and that can be very expensive. Before I took my entire family I had been there once before in the past, but only because it was $ 5.00 for the entire day and I wanted to check the place out. I had an awesome time so obviously I wanted to go back so I brought the family. Now, I have four kids all different ages so I figured like most places that there would be some sort of reduced rate for a large group, or a reduced rate for small children. This wasn’t the case at all and had I known beforehand I would not have come.

An old style arcade although instead of needing a pocketful of quarters or tokens, you buy a swipe card to play pinball or videogames. Eight pinball games and a plethera of video entertainments to choose from, as well as air hockey. A classic old style arcade which seems to be a disappearing beast nowdays. Happy they had one of my 80’s favorite pinball games, Cyclone. Wednesday’s, they have deals with additional credits when you buy a card.
