Welcome to the Netflix House!

Hold onto your popcorn, folks! Netflix is not just about streaming your favorite shows from the couch anymore; they’ve gone all out by building a colossal 100,000-square-foot playground in Dallas—a place where dreams and binge-watching collide!

On December 9th, lucky VIPs got a sneak peek at the Netflix House Dallas, and let me tell you, it’s an immersive wonderland where the biggest hits of the streaming giant leap off the screen. Imagine stepping through a giant red envelope, which is not only a nod to Netflix’s DVD rental roots but also the gateway to sheer fandom bliss!

A Walk Through Netflix’s Universe

As you stroll through the Galleria Dallas, you’ll be greeted by towering art installations inspired by shows like The Queen’s Gambit, Big Mouth, Wednesday, and One Piece. It’s like walking straight into the worlds you’ve been binge-watching for years! Grab a bite, do some shopping, or just pose like a superstar in the midst of your favorite stories.

From Los Angeles to Dallas: The Journey of Netflix Experience

Now, while Netflix House Philly was their first permanent spot earlier in 2025, Netflix has been dabbling in immersive experiences for quite some time. Who remembers Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience back in 2020? It was a huge hit that got Netflix’s VP of Experiences, Greg Lombardo, all fired up about creating in-person attractions.

Lombardo said it best: “For two decades, fans have welcomed us into their homes, and we thought it’s about time we welcome them into ours.” And boy, did they make that happen with the Netflix House!

Get Ready to Play!

Buckle up, because visiting this place doesn’t hit your wallet hard! You don’t need a fancy ticket to get in—just know that the games and attractions range from $10 to $39. You can step into Stranger Things themed areas designed in collaboration with the Duffer Brothers and some cast members, alongside the heart-pounding fun of Squid Game.

At the grand opening, stars like David Harbour and Cara Buono made guest appearances. Harbour even joked about the authenticity of the set pieces, “The vines they use in this house on the wall [are] the same exact vines we have [on set].” Now that’s some serious attention to detail!

Thrills Await in Hawkins and Beyond

Step into Stranger Things: Escape the Dark, and it’s like being sucked right into Hawkins itself! This 55-minute walk-through experience gives you a flashlight and a headset, making you part of a search and rescue mission in a town that feels eerily familiar. Think haunted house mixed with an escape room and a splash of immersive theater. Creepy vibes? Yes, please!

And if that’s not enough, Squid Game: Survive The Trials lets you dive headfirst into competitive fun—perfect for families, even if things get a bit intense! Each Netflix House is a unique creation, tailored to its city, with Dallas showcasing local artistry and trades.

Plans for the Future

Lombardo sees these houses as local hotspots: “You don’t have to hop on a plane… you can come day in, day out and experience something new throughout the year.” That means every visit promises something fresh and exciting, whether it’s a family outing or a fun date night.

Brace yourselves—Netflix is also planning an epic event on December 31 when the Stranger Things season 5 finale will be streamed at the Philly location. They are even dreaming big with a new house set to pop up in Las Vegas by 2027!

What’s Next for Netflix House?

And get this, the offerings will keep changing based on fan favorites! It’s designed to be flexible and to keep up with Netflix’s latest programming. So, whether you’re playing arcade games featuring The Floor is Lava or reminiscing about Happy Gilmore 2, every trip could feel brand new.

Seems like Stranger Things: Escape the Dark stole the show at the VIP night, but personally, winning a round of red light, green light in Squid Game was my own thrilling moment! Talk about living the dream.

In Conclusion

As Lombardo puts it, “If we can give fans their hero moment in these experiences, then we’ve done our job.” So, strap in and head over to Netflix House Dallas—for a day filled with laughter, thrills, and your favorite shows brought to vivid life!
