Fans of the Netflix series "Stranger Things" will get a chance to immerse themselves in the world of Upside Down at Abu Dhabi's Yas Island from November 14.

Stranger Things: The Experience will bring Hawkins to life in the Middle East for the first time, as fans eagerly await the release of the fifth and final season of the series on November 26.

The new experience will feature immersive sets, live actors and jaw-dropping special effects that blur the lines between fiction and reality.

Similar to its sold-out runs in New York, London and Paris, guests will move through iconic scenes from the series, from Hawkins Lab to the dark tunnels of the Upside Down, before ending their journey in a vibrant ‘Mix-Tape’ area celebrating 80s nostalgia. 

The destination will also carry out the immersive land with themed food, photo-ops, exclusive merchandise and surprises inspired by the show’s most memorable moments.

The fully action-packed, cinematic journey will be open to guests at Abu Dhabi until February 15, 2026.
