The experience

You start in the Hawkins neighborhoods of Atlanta, where the tour stops at the actual homes of the Wheeler, Sinclair and Henderson families and the streets where the boys rode their bikes through the show's most iconic scenes. The guide walks you through these residential areas and explains which scenes played out on each block, so you're standing in the exact spot where the action happened on screen.

Next are Hawkins Middle School and Hawkins High School, the two institutions that anchor the show's social world. You'll see where Mike, Will, Dustin and Lucas attended classes, and the spaces where Nancy, Steve, Jonathan and Barb hung out between scenes. From there the tour moves to Hawkins Public Pool, Billy's domain in Season 3, and then to Screen Gems studios, where the interior sets of Stranger Things are actually filmed and produced. This is the working soundstage side of the show, not just the outdoor locations.

The final stop is Brimborn Steelworks, the nesting place of the Mindflayer. The whole route takes three hours, and your driver handles the transport between all six stops. Bottled water is provided throughout, and the minimum group size is two people per booking.
