Eleven and the gang might live in the fictional world of Hawkins, but real life Atlanta is where the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” is filmed.

Now fans of the show can visit these locations during the Atlanta Upside Down Tour.

The 3 ½ hour adventure presented by Atlanta Movie Tours has stops at Benny's Burgers, Hopper's cabin, the arcade and more. There will also be fun stories and trivia from tour guides.

According to the tour’s website:

  • You'll get proof Eleven and Kali weren't really in Chicago in Season 2 (in case the Twitter eruption over the skyline didn't convince you)
  • You'll get to check out Hopper's cabin firsthand
  • The Palace Arcade, sheriff's station and a host of other spots will be pointed out along the way

Most tours are 9 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays beginning August 16. The cost is $75 per person, and tickets can be bought online. Atlanta Movie Tours requires attendees to check in half an hour before the tour or risk losing their spot.
