Imagine stepping inside a world where you can snap a picture with Derpy, the blue tiger from KPop Demon Hunters. That opportunity exists now, with this week's grand opening of Netflix House Philadelphia. The retail destination is a love letter to fans and just opened at King of Prussia Mall on Wednesday. You can shop for themed merch, take photos, play games or even order up food and drinks like the Saja Boys soda.
Walking through the red entrance -- which is inspired by the company's historical red DVD envelope -- fans will be treated to a wave of art and activities gleaned from favorite characters and titles like Stranger Things (the Byers' living room is replicated here), Squid Game, Bridgerton, KPop Demon Hunters, One Piece, Love Is Blind and WWE Raw.
Netflix plans to open another location in Dallas this December, and a Las Vegas spot on the Strip is on the horizon for 2027. We'd love to know which other cities are on the list (Atlanta, maybe?) so we can it add to our list of recreation hot spots. But for now, let's take a peek inside what Netflix House Philly has to offer.

What is Netflix House and what can you do there?
Designed as an immersive experience with fans in mind, Netflix House goes beyond the streamer's pop-up experiences with a permanent gathering space. The retail-entertainment destinations are planned for three cities so far, with the King of Prussia Mall as its first opening.
The Philly location spans over 100,000 square feet and features a mural created by a local artist, as well as a few store items that celebrate the city. That's in addition to TV show and movie-themed displays, games and menu items, and an in-house Tudum theater that can hold 229 guests who want to watch Netflix on the spot. The streamer said the theater will also show its live NFL games, WWE events and local programming.
You can eat at Netflix Bites, the on-site eatery that cooks up dishes like Red Bite, Green Bite (fried chicken with dipping sauces), Featherington French Toast, a Hellfire Club (cleverly named sandwich), Nonna's Sauce (pasta dish inspired by Nonnas), HUNTR/X Power Up Sam (grilled pork with kimchi) or a Scoops Ahoy milkshake. Cocktails, mocktails and other beverages include The Morticia, Streaming Optimism and Saja Boys Soda Pop (banana flavored, of course).
What about fun things to do? Well, there are VR games for Stranger Things and Squid Game, and mini golf where each hole is tied to a series like One Piece, WWE Raw, Bridgerton, Wednesday, Is It Cake? or Floor is Lava.
Wednesday (and Enid) fans hit the Eve of the Outcasts Festival and get lost on the ground while playing carnival games, along with stepping into Nevermore Academy to play Wednesday Addams' games, like Piranha Pursuit and Feeding Time Frenzy. You can explore Wednesday and Enid's dorm room, the principal's office and a trail full of hidden clues that you can text Wednesday and Thing about. Once you're done there, there's an interactive, hour-long One Piece activity that puts fans on a trek to find the Devil Fruit.
