Last month I shared that Netflix’s Stranger Things: The Experience would be coming to New York and San Francisco in 2022. On Thursday, Fever, the event discovery platform Netflix has partnered with for the event, released further details around the event expansion.
Guests at the experience, which will open in spring 2022, will first embark on a perilous adventure through the darker side of Hawkins, including venturing into the infamous Hawkins Lab and the Upside Down. This brand new storyline developed exclusively with the show’s creators will see guests propelled into a parallel universe where they will have to run the gauntlet of the terrors lurking in the dark and unlock their secret powers to help save the town.
After their escape from the Upside Down, fans will be able to explore and interact with Stranger Things’ most iconic locations, grabbing a USS Butterscotch sundae at Scoops Ahoy before trying to knock off MADMAX’s high score at the Palace Arcade – all the while avoiding encounters with the Demogorgons in the Upside Down. They will be free to wander through the space and experience every element of the Stranger Things world, including a fully themed food and beverage offering and exclusive merchandise.
“We know our Stranger Things fans will embrace the chance to be the heroes of the story, working alongside Eleven, Mike, and the rest of the gang to escape the evil threatening to consume Hawkins,” says Greg Lombardo, Head of Experiences at Netflix. “As Dustin would say, it’s time for a curiosity voyage – so bring your paddles to travel!”
Fans can expect mind-blowing audiovisual effects but are warned that they will also have to face up to their fears as things can quickly turn upside down.
Tickets for Stranger Things: The Experience are limited, and prices will start at $54. Tickets will be available at https://strangerthings-experience.com starting today, Thursday, July 8. Fans can sign up now for the waitlist to receive early information on ticket availability by city and can follow @strangerthings.experience for more.
The Stranger Things: Experience kicked off in 2020 with the Stranger Things Drive-Into experience in Los Angeles. The event sold out daily over the course of seven months and saw more than 300,000 guests in attendance.
