5 awesome Huntsville hotspots that look like Netflix’s Stranger Things
Mike and El may not be here in Huntsville, but we have more than enough Stranger Things vibes in the Rocket City.
If you’re like me and a fan of this iconic Netflix show, check out the top Huntsville spots that look like Stranger Things!
1. Lowe Mill
Lowe Mill’s industrial vibe reminds me of Hawkins School. It also slightly mirrors Hawkins Lab—just trade the upside down for the out-of-this-world art galleries.
- Where: 2211 Seminole Dr SW, Huntsville, AL 35805
- When: Wednesday-Saturday 11AM-7PM
- Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
Specifically Lowe Mill’s arcade
What better way to celebrate Stranger Things than by playing some old-fashioned arcade games? At Lowe Mill’s Starlight Pinball Arcade, you can set some new high scores—who knows, you might even beat Mad Max.
- Where: 2211 Seminole Dr SW Studio 1022, Huntsville, AL 35805
- When: Wednesday-Saturday 12-7PM
- Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
2. Campus No. 805
Welcome to Huntsville’s take on Hawkins Middle School. Campus No. 805 is the perfect backdrop for your Stranger Things inspired Instagram photos.
- Where: 2620 Clinton Ave W, Huntsville, AL
- When: Hours vary depending on each local business.

3. Maxwell’s Music
You can find the best Stranger Things jams at Maxwell’s Music. Grab your favorite 80s record, cook some eggos and play some Dungeons and Dragons.
- Where: 100 Jefferson St N suite 108, Huntsville, AL 35801
- When: Wednesday-Saturday 12-6PM
- Facebook | Instagram
4. Parkway Place Mall
Nestled in Parkway Place Mall is another arcade reminiscent of Stranger Things. Plus, you can make the rest of the mall your go-to hangout spot like Mike and his crew did in the show.
- Where: 2801 Memorial Pkwy SW, Huntsville, AL 35801
- When: Monday-Thursday 11AM-8PM | Friday-Saturday 10AM-8PM | Sunday 12-6PM

5. Downtown’s small town feel
Harrison Brothers Hardware reminds me a bit of the drug store where Will’s mom works. Even though Huntsville is much bigger than Hawkins, parts of downtown have that same small town feel.
Bonus: Strange…Noises?
Plus, we can’t forget the iconic Strange Noises shirts, inspired by the Redstone Arsenal.
So grab yourself a t-shirt and make sure to stop by these Huntsville hotspots to have an unforgettable Stranger Things day.
