Get ready to explore one of the most iconic locations from Stranger Things – Joyce Byers’ House. We can expect to immerse ourselves in Joyce’s eerie living room, complete with now-unforgettable lights-and-alphabets set-up on the wall.
2. Journey Through the Iconic Hawkins Lab
Venture into the mysterious Hawkins National Laboratory, where secret experiments and supernatural phenomena unfold. Explore the eerie corridors, encounter mind-bending displays, and unlock the secrets hidden within its walls. Who knows, maybe we’ll even encounter Vecna here. At least this time, we’ll have ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush on standby on our Spotify.
3. Visit Starcourt Mall (with Scoops Ahoy and Surfer Boy Pizza!)
In an immersive retail and F&B zone, expect to choose from a selection of treats straight from the Stranger Things universe. With fan-fave spots like Scoops Ahoy and Surfer Boy Pizza confirmed, we can expect to grab some delightful ST-themed treats. Who knows, you might just do a Steve and Robin and form an unlikely friendship over ice cream! Psst, for those who rather just enjoy the F&B delights, admission tickets to the Starcourt Mall retail and F&B areas are available on-site for $15, subject to availability!
4. Capture Picture-Perfect Moments at the Palace Arcade Photo Zones
