'Stranger Things' event planned for beloved NASA-area amusement park next month

Fans of the successful Netflix series "Stranger Things" will soon have a chance to explore the "Upside Down" for themselves thanks to a month-long event at a NASA-area amusement park in Webster.

Bay Area Putt-Putt FunHouse will host a Stranger Things event every weekend throughout the month of October, according to a release from the park. Guests must brave the Upside Down in search of character trading cards that can be redeemed for candy or, for the die-hard fans, Eggo waffles.

The event will run 4 p.m. to close every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in October, according to the release.

Located at 806 E. NASA Parkway in Webster, the Putt-Putt FunHouse first opened in 1979 as a 54-hole miniature golf course with just a few snow cone and popcorn machines and is now a modern amusement park with indoor bumper cars, laser tag, a rock wall, bumper boats and miniature golf. The beloved Bay Area spot is celebrating 40 years in business this year.
