Hawkins comes alive as “Stranger Things: The Experience” opens on Yas Island

Fans of the hit Netflix series can now step into the world of Hawkins as “Stranger Things: The Experience” opens its doors on Yas Island. The immersive attraction allows visitors to become part of their own “Stranger Things” adventure, blending 1980s nostalgia with cutting-edge 4D technology and live performances.

Guests will navigate the eerie corridors of Hawkins Lab, confront terrifying Demogorgons, and help Eleven, Max, and the gang save the day. The interactive journey extends into the Upside Down, offering a chilling yet thrilling experience that brings the show’s most iconic locations to life. Following the adventure, visitors can unwind in the ‘Mix-Tape’ area, capturing memories, enjoying themed treats, and exploring Scoops Ahoy, the Palace Arcade, and exclusive merchandise.

Liam Findlay, CEO of Miral Destinations, said, “We’re thrilled to bring this award-winning experience to the region, giving fans a chance to immerse themselves in their favourite show ahead of the final season.” In Kolkata, the launch has already sparked excitement among the city’s entertainment enthusiasts. Local travel operators and theme park fans are showing strong interest in Yas Island packages, which combine access to the immersive experience with stays at world-class hotels and Yas Theme Parks, indicating potential for high footfall from the eastern market.
