![]() ![]() One member of our party was found worshipping a giant mural of Season 4 sweetheart Eddie Munson, and we’re sure she won’t be the last. The photoshoot opportunities here in the Mix-Tape are particularly plentiful fans are absolutely going to want to snap a selfie in the Byers’ living room with that infamous wall of Christmas lights behind them. ![]() For starters, I absolutely need one of those hot pink Rink-O-Mania jackets! Speaking of merchandise, you may want to save your pocket money for a visit here, because there’s an entire wardrobe of Stranger Things apparel up for grabs. Elsewhere, you’ll be able to explore the Family Video store where Steve and Robin spend their day, or head to Rink-O-Mania to lush after the merchandise. The gamers in our group made a beeline for the Palace Arcade, for a bit of button-bashing on the likes of Space Invaders and Joust (there’s no Dig Dug here, but it’s not like we had a chance of beating MADMAX’s score anyway). Having escaped the clutches of the Demogorgons, we were then let loose in the ‘Mix-Tape Area’, which is a glorious neon-drenched playground of Stranger Things locations and 80s nostalgia. Especially with a very threatening villain on the loose… One jump scare in particular had our group gasping with excitement, and leaving you in no doubt that a trip into the Upside Down isn’t a walk in the park. Oh, and whilst the practical effects and cameos from everyone’s favourite Demogorgon-hunters are fun, it’s the special effects that really add the wow factor. We’re no spoilsports so we won’t share too much of the plot here, but let’s just say that it’s an entirely original storyline you won’t have seen on the Netflix show. ![]() You’ll need them, because a brand new adventure into the Upside Down to save a beloved member of the gang awaits you here. Now who would have guessed that? As the experience progresses, you’ll discover the secrets of the lab, form new alliances with familiar faces, and use skills you didn’t even know you had. Of course, once you’re inside the lab, it becomes pretty swiftly apparent that the likes of Dr Brenner have ulterior motives for bringing you here. The official party line – one that a nifty cameo appearance from Paul Reiser’s Dr Owens explains – is that Hawkins Lab has reopened, inviting you inside to take part in a sleep study that’ll help improve the lives of Hawkins residents. Once you’re inside though, the intrigue ramps up pretty quickly. Your journey into the Upside Down begins a tad inauspiciously, as the imposing warehouse in which Stranger Things: The Experience is housed doesn’t give too much away – although admittedly there’s an excellent first selfie opportunity to be had with the Stranger Things sign out here. Tickets are available here, and you can read on for our Stranger Things Experience review! ![]()
