Netflix and Chill
More Like Netflix & Walk Into My New Favorite Playground
Netflix House VIP Party
Welcome to Netflix House Dallas —
Netflix House Dallas is open to the public on December 11, 2025, but I got invited for a little sneak peak for their VIP Housewarming party and I will be honest with you— I had no idea what to expect. They did a really good job at giving you just enough to make you feel like you knew nothing at all. And I really liked that. It framed it perfectly for your imagination to really enjoy every thing Netflix House had to offer,
Walking Into Netflix House
From the second I stepped inside Netflix House, my brain did that little squeal it does when something feels both familiar and brand-new. It wasn’t like walking into an attraction. It felt like stepping into someone’s home — the kind of home where the host flings open the door grinning like, “Girl, get in here,” and you don’t even hesitate.
The lighting felt like a transition scene right before something dramatic happens. Wall art doubled as Easter eggs — little winks to different series. And the music wrapped around the room like a plot twist I knew was coming but still made me gasp anyway.
Netflix built a love letter for people like me — the ones who quote entire scenes in casual conversation without warning, who emotionally adopt fictional characters, who watch TV with their whole heart. I absolutely modeled my outfit after Zoey from K-Pop Demon Hunters.
This is the home of someone who watches TV the way I do, with intention and obsession, with snacks already prepped, and with no shame about staying up until sunrise because “just one more episode” turned into a full season.
And I Need Y’all to Hear Me Clearly
I expected theme-park food — you know, the kind you tolerate more than enjoy. But Netflix said no ma’am. The food was shockingly good, like restaurant-good. The flavors were bold, fun, and clearly designed by someone who understands that if you’re feeding people who binge-watch for sport, you better come correct. It wasn’t just good food — it was food that made people linger, talk, laugh, and stay a little longer than planned. And that’s how you know someone thought this through.
The Experiences
Now, Netflix House did not come to play. They had full Squid Game challenges — high-energy, heart-pumping, and lots of fun! There was an ominous guard in uniform walking around, and I don’t know who hired that man, but he took the job very seriously.
Then there was the Stranger Things room which had me scream loud enough that if Netflix ever needs a sound effect for terror, they can just license my voice.
Bridgerton had its moment too, all elegance and romance and soft lighting, but you know my heart lives for anime. So when I found even a single reference —or better yet, a girl who matched my Zoey-inspired outfit from K-Pop Demon Hunters like we rehearsed it — I almost levitated.
The Moment Everything Clicked
What struck a chord somewhere between my heart and my nostalgia — was how open and joyful people were. I kept thinking about how rare that feels in content-creator spaces where everyone is trying to look unbothered and aesthetically controlled. But here? Folks were giggling, screaming, losing their minds in the arcade, posing dramatically in the Bridgerton room, and letting their inner child poke its messy little head out with absolutely no shame.
It reminded me how fun it is when adults allow themselves to play. And when you’re someone like me, someone who can quote half of Netflix’s catalog without thinking about it, getting to nerd out openly felt like breathing fresh air.
Meeting Brett and Tiffany from Love Is Blind was another emotional jump scare. One second I was minding my business; the next I’m remembering the entire era when that show made love feel simple and new again — all late-night phone calls and teenage butterflies. So yes, I rambled when I met them. No, I have no regrets. And yes, I floated for the rest of the night when Brett reposted me. Life was good. It reminded me how simple connection can feel when you let yourself be present — which is exactly what Netflix House kept inviting us to do.
And honestly, that was the real surprise—the way Netflix House made grown adults loosen their shoulders and just play. It felt like a space that understood us without trying too hard, a space built for curiosity, nostalgia, and pure fun.
Because No Experience Is Perfect
Now here’s the thoughts that sat with me: Netflix House is going to change often. Almost nothing inside it is meant to be permanent. And that’s both exciting and… a little chaotic for people trying to plan their visit. I found myself wondering how much of what I experienced — the music, the staffing, the energy — would be present on a regular day.
The Stranger Things experience also ran way longer than it needed to. Fun? Yes. One hour long? Be serious.
I also felt like K-Pop Demon Hunters, despite being such a massive hit, was a little underrepresented — along with other popular anime Netflix originals they have in their catalog. As an anime girl, I noticed. And yes, I wanted more. Did that stop me from squealing when I found little nods to One Piece, the Sakamoto Days arcade game, and the tiny anime corners sprinkled throughout the space? Absolutely not. I held onto those moments like limited-edition merch.
But overall, the vision is clear: they want you to leave your screens and step into your favorite worlds. And honestly, that mission shines through. I still walked out thinking, “I need to see this again… but slowly. Without a crowd. And with room in my tote bag so I can actually buy something from the gift shop.”
Who Netflix House Is Actually For
Everyone. Truly. It’s for kids old enough to run around without face-planting. It’s for date nights that need something fun to break the ice. It’s for friend groups who need a reason to get dressed and leave the house. It’s for solo people who want adventure without pressure. It’s for families who want to see their favorite stories come alive. And it’s for people like me — the ones who love TV a little too much and feel like they don’t have to apologize for it.
There are only two Netflix Houses in the country, and Dallas is one of them.
