Los Angeles gets a Hawkins Lab experience like nothing fans of Netflix’ STRANGER THINGS have experienced.
Co-produced by Netflix and Fever, the STRANGER THINGS EXPERIENCE in Los Angeles provides fans with an opportunity to play a role, experience demogorgens, take an adventure alongside their favorite characters, and then lounge around and have ’80s inspired food and drinks at some of the major locations from the show.
The storyline for the adventure is fascinating and fits into the overall story arc of the show, which helps to emerge attendees in the story.
The live actors are fantastic and intimidating, which they are supposed to be as Hawkins Lab employees, and they do not break character.
Brush up on the ’80s pop culture as the actors on-site do ask questions and want feedback.
The multimedia aspect of the experience brings in the series’ cast as they guide attendees through the exciting experience. It is not a stand around and watch the action happen type of experience, the action surrounds the group and each group is divided into smaller groups that have parts to play.
Stranger Things: The Experience follows the smash-hit successes of the first official Stranger Things Stores that brought the “Upside-Down” to New York City and Los Angeles in Fall 2021, welcoming hundreds of thousands of guests and fans of the show over the course of its run. That followed Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience which took place in Los Angeles in Spring 2021, selling out every day for more than seven months and receiving rave reviews.
After the experience, hangout and get some snacks and/or drinks while exploring some of the major locations from the STRANGER THINGS series.
Some of the merchandise sold at the STRANGER THINGS EXPERIENCE is exclusive to the shops at the experience.
Recommended dress code, the 80s are calling. You're invited to a bodacious world of fanny packs and shoulder pads. Get in the spirit.
