Location 01Claremont House (Creel House)
Georgia, Rome, United States Outside only
Filmed here: Creel House interiors and exteriors, season 4
This imposing house in Rome, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta, served as the Creel House for season 4, used for both interiors and exteriors. It formerly operated as a bed and breakfast but is now a private residence, so access is exterior only and viewing is from the street. The house sits in a residential historic district, so visitors should keep visits brief and respectful of neighbors.
Location 02Downtown Jackson
Georgia, Jackson, United States Free to see
Filmed here: Downtown Hawkins streets, Melvald's General Store, library exterior, Hawk Theater
Jackson, Georgia, a walkable small town south of Atlanta, is the most rewarding stop for fans. Its town square and surrounding streets doubled as downtown Hawkins across multiple seasons: Melvald's General Store, the library exterior, and the Hawk Theater all appear here, with many facades reused season after season. Access is fully public. Just remember these are functioning private businesses, so browse politely and buy something if you linger.
Location 03Emory University Briarcliff Campus (Hawkins Lab)
Georgia, Atlanta, United States Outside only
Filmed here: Hawkins National Laboratory exteriors and some interiors, seasons 1-4
The forbidding Hawkins National Laboratory exteriors, and some interiors, belong to a former Georgia Mental Health Institute building on Emory's Briarcliff campus in Atlanta, used across seasons 1 to 4. The structure is scheduled for demolition and redevelopment, and access is limited: this is an exterior-only stop at best, and parts of the campus may be off limits entirely. See it sooner rather than later.
Location 04Wheeler House exterior
Georgia, East Point, United States Outside only
Filmed here: Wheeler family home exterior, multiple seasons
The Wheeler family home, site of many basement campaigns and Christmas light messages, is a private house on Piney Wood Lane in East Point, Georgia, southwest of downtown Atlanta. Only the exterior was used for filming, and the home remains privately owned. Fans can view it from the street, but this is a quiet residential neighborhood, so keep visits short, stay off the property, and be considerate of the people who live there.
Location 05Gwinnett Place Mall (Starcourt Mall)
Georgia, Duluth, United States Closed
Filmed here: Starcourt Mall interiors and exteriors, season 3
Starcourt Mall, the season 3 centerpiece, is really Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, Georgia. Production extensively renovated the property with new facades and signage to recreate a 1980s shopping center, a rare case of a real mall being transformed rather than built on a set. The mall has since closed and demolition is planned, so the site is not accessible. Fans should not attempt to enter.
Location 06Lukiškės Prison (Kamchatka Prison)
Vilnius County, Vilnius, Lithuania Ticketed
Filmed here: Kamchatka prison exteriors and interiors, season 4
The season 4 Russian prison, Kamchatka, was filmed at the real Lukiškės Prison in Vilnius, Lithuania, a historic former prison that has since reopened as a museum and tourist site with ticketed entry. This makes it the most immersive Stranger Things location anywhere: instead of peering at a facade, visitors can walk actual corridors and cells used in the show. Tickets can be booked for guided visits.
Location 07Byers California House
New Mexico, Albuquerque, United States Private property
Filmed here: Byers family California home exterior, season 4
For season 4's California storyline, the Byers family home was found in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Only the exterior appears in the show, and the property is a private residence, so viewing is limited to what can be seen from the street. Albuquerque has a deep film industry thanks to New Mexico's production incentives, so the house can be folded into a broader movie-location drive around the city.
Location 08Patrick Henry High School site (Hawkins High/Middle)
Georgia, Stockbridge, United States Closed
Filmed here: Hawkins High and Middle School, seasons 1-3
Hawkins High and Hawkins Middle School, familiar from seasons 1 to 3, were filmed at the Patrick Henry High School site in Stockbridge, Georgia, south of Atlanta. Unfortunately for fans, the school was demolished after filming, so there is nothing to see today beyond the site itself. Anyone mapping a Georgia Stranger Things route should treat this as a waypoint of historical interest only.
