I found myself attending another Fever Up event, this time Stranger Things – The Experience. I’ve probably said in the past the previous event was my favorite but this ‘immersive experience” was way more than I expected. However I was reluctant in attending Stranger Things – The Experience due to the cost. But I am glad I did as this was probably the most immersive experience yet!
CHECK OUT: A Night at the Museum: High Frequency Friday
Fever Up once again utilized Pullman Yards, with Stranger Things – The Experience encompassing both the main and secondary buildings. This experience is huge. Multiple rooms and plenty for areas to explore.
Upon entering you are welcomed to Hawkins Labs, where you participate in a sleep study overseen by Dr. Martin Brenner. If you are anything like me, you know that that’s a red flag. Don’t trust the Doctor! You are placed into groups and you quickly discover that not everything is as it seems. Good thing you have some teens that are there to look after you. The experience is very interactive and greatly entertaining. Remember it is based off of the tv show and for small children it can be a bit too intense, and some strong language is used.
Once you complete your experience within Hawkins Labs, you are exited out into the Starcourt Mall from season 3. Where you experience all the 80’s thrills and decor but not the 80’s pricing. Drinks are the averaging at $16 and a slice of pizza $6.
There are some touches from season 4 as well. The Surfer Boy Pizza Shop and Rink-O-Mania, where you can purchase even purchase the “skates”. The details of this interactive experience is on the scale of what you would find at an theme park. This helped in understanding why the cost for the experience was much more than the previous ones I have attended.
Cost aside, this ranks in my top 3 immersive experiences. Be sure to look for promo codes before purchase tickets, currently you can use TERIYAM44316 for $8 off.
