Excellent immersive experience whether or not you're a fan of Stranger Things! This is a great time with friends or a loved one. It's like iMax meets an escape room. And after it's over, you can hang out in the 80's with great food, drinks and merchandise. I highly recommend this!

This was out of this world! Best experience for a fan. Stranger Things is my favorite show and this place made it feel like you were actually in an episode. The actors were so amazing, they interacted so well with us. I just want to go back and relive the whole experience.
Camille H.

All of the actors are great and you get to really be involved. We spent a great deal of time post-experience in the Mixtape as well and even found all of the easter eggs to affirm our statuses as #1 fans. Won't share any spoilers but recommend to go if you love the show!
Nicole D.

The Experience was great for any fan of Stranger Things! Definitely a must see! You feel like you’re part of the show
Anne F.

This was so much fun. You get a chance to "participate" and "interact" with the characters, villains and monsters. The staff is fun, too, and when you go to the "mall" there are actors there dressed in 80s clothes who will interact with you.
