The Palace Arcade becomes one of the most iconic settings, starting from the second season of Stranger Things. The actual location of filming was an old laundromat, which was renovated and converted into an arcade specifically for the show. Beyond the arcade itself, an icon of the 1980s, the design was meant to evoke the mood and visual identity of the decade in which the story takes place.
