What we think – The FRIENDS™ Experience Sydney
The experience kicks off with a short video featuring Janice’s voice! The exhibition is divided into four sections, and you’ll receive a card with four areas marked. At each section, get the staff to stamp your card.
It starts with the iconic orange couch and fountain from the opening credits.
As you move forward, you’ll see scripts, costumes, and famous lines from the show. There’s also Joey’s many-layered outfit and the Halloween turkey.
One wall displays the message board from the show, and there’s even a section showing the relationship timeline for each character!
One of the highlights is Rachel’s 17-page letter to Ross and it’s actually so long! There’s also the famous Pivot couch scene where staff will happily take photos for you.
Joey and Chandler’s apartment is perfectly recreated! After all these years, I finally got to lounge on their comfy couch, and it’s just as cozy as it looks! They’ve even got their foosball table.
Monica and Rachel’s apartment is so warm and welcoming as soon as you step in. Monica’s perfectly cleaned house, with the kitchen full of food!
The last stop is Central Perk Café. You can wear an apron for photos, and they even sell them in the shop. Outside the café, there’s Phoebe’s guitar and guitar case, with two dollar bills stuck on it!
Some areas play scenes from the show on TV, while others have the famous theme song, “I’ll Be There for You,” in the background. We loved it! Totally worth a visit!
Tickets can be bought both online and at the venue. For online purchases, just search for “Friends Experience” on Ticketek. If you prefer buying on-site, you can get tickets there. The last session is at 6 PM, and it’s usually not too crowded, feel free to jump in!
