Yas Island Abu Dhabi is set to transform into the eerie town of Hawkins, Indiana, as it unveils “Stranger Things: The Experience” on November 14, marking the first-ever Middle East debut of the globally acclaimed immersive attraction. Inspired by Netflix’s hit series, the experience will let fans step into the supernatural world of Stranger Things through live actors, detailed sets, and spectacular special effects. Visitors can explore iconic locations—from Hawkins Lab to the dark tunnels of the Upside Down—before entering a nostalgic “Mix-Tape” zone offering themed food, exclusive merchandise, and 80s-inspired photo opportunities.
Liam Findlay, CEO of Miral Destinations, said, “This partnership reflects Yas Island’s commitment to bringing world-class entertainment to our guests. Stranger Things: The Experience is not just an event—it’s a chance to step into one of the most defining universes of our time.”
In Kolkata, travel agents and entertainment enthusiasts predict rising interest among Indian tourists seeking experiential attractions. Tour operators expect Yas Island’s latest offering to boost outbound tourism, with Kolkata-based youth and families already showing strong curiosity about this immersive event. The countdown has begun for fans to enter the Upside Down—this time, for real.
