Over the past few years, Stranger Things, the Kids-On-Bikes, 1980’s sci-fi series has quickly become one of the most-hyped productions to be filmed in and around the Atlanta area. Heck, there’s even an official Lego set you can buy now. While we’re sure many are binging the new third season—which dropped on Netflix July 4—with Eggo Waffles, Christmas lights, and darting your eyes around more erratically than Winona Ryder, we thought the best way to celebrate was to round up and map the most notable locations from the show. What better way to spend a weekend than to go sightseeing in Hawkins, Indiana? Just don’t get stuck in the Upside Down. (Spoilers ahead for seasons one through three!)
