For a normal student, a school carnival might sound like a cheerful blur of popcorn, Ferris wheels, and face painting. For Wednesday Addams, it’s a nightmare — which, of course, makes it a perfectly putrid party for a Wednesday fan.
Wednesday: Eve of the Outcasts at Netflix House Philadelphia invites visitors into Nevermore Academy for a festival that, like the record-breaking Netflix series, will blend the eerie and enchanting. When our unapologetically dreary antihero finds herself in charge of the Eve of the Outcasts Festival, she transforms the celebration into something far darker than the school’s founders intended — and it’s giving school spirit in a way only Wednesday can conjure up. Guests who dare to enter can roam the festival grounds and the hallowed halls of Nevermore, encountering cursed carnival games, unsettling surprises, and photo ops that would make Thing snap in approval.
Inside, fans can test their mettle in diversions twisted enough to make Wednesday crack a smile, like Piranha Pursuit and Feeding Time Frenzy. They can creep through iconic Nevermore locations, from Wednesday and Enid’s dual-personality dorm room to Principal Weems’s office and the biology lab, the sites of many unfortunate events. But more than a menagerie of amusements and oddities, Wednesday: Eve of Outcasts is a living story. The experience blurs the line between an interactive mystery and a particularly suspenseful Wednesday episode — visitors can even text clues back and forth with Thing as they unravel secrets hidden throughout the grounds.
The Wednesday experience is one of several headline attractions launching with Netflix House Philadelphia, a year-round, ever-changing destination spanning 100,000 square feet inside King of Prussia. Netflix House is free to enter and features interactive installations, dining, shopping, and screenings that let fans explore titles like Wednesday, ONE PIECE, Squid Game, Bridgerton, Stranger Things, Love Is Blind, and A Knives Out Mystery franchise. Visitors can wander through the public areas, grab a bite at Netflix Bites, catch a show at Tudum Theater, and peruse the Netflix Shop.
