Introduction: Beyond Travels Brings You to the Unexpected

Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island is known for its world-class attractions, luxury resorts, and unforgettable experiences. Now, with the emergence of the Stranger Things Experience, the destination transforms into a cinematic playground where television magic meets real-world adventure. As India’s trusted IATA | TICO -certified travel experts, Beyond Travels presents your most detailed guide yet — a journey beyond mere tourism, into a world where fiction and reality blur, and each moment is an opportunity for discovery.​

What is Stranger Things Experience at Yas Island?

Launching November 14th, the Stranger Things Experience at Yas Island is the Middle East’s first immersive, themed escapade based on the hit Netflix series. This isn’t simply a pop-up walkthrough. It’s a dynamic, all-senses event: live actors, interactive sets, dazzling special effects, and a storyline that places you right in the heart of Hawkins, Indiana. The magic lies in its details: you’re invited to move through Hawkins Lab, face the tunnels of the Upside Down, and ultimately step into a vivid ‘Mix-Tape’ zone. Here, 80s nostalgia comes alive with themed food stalls, vintage photo booths, exclusive merchandise, surprise encounters, and vibrant entertainment.

The Full Experience: Step-by-Step

• Arrival: Guests are greeted by immersive décor, instantly transporting them into Hawkins — complete with characters and iconic set pieces.

• Immersive Storyline: Visitors join Stranger Things heroes on a mission, unlocking mysteries and facing challenges inspired directly by the series. Live performances and interactive tech add cinematic realism.

• Upside Down Adventure: Navigate dark tunnels, solve supernatural puzzles, and witness special effects that rival blockbuster production value.

• Mix-Tape Zone: The journey ends at a vibrant 80s revival space — themed food, interactive art, vintage games, exclusive collectibles, and photo opportunities with costumed cast members celebrate the era’s spirit.

• Fan-Favorite Highlights: Snap photos with the Byers’ living room, get hands-on in Scoops Ahoy, and meet both heroes and villains in creative meet-and-greet formats.
