Featuring a variety of nostalgia-packed, interactive recreated sets including Monica’s kitchen and the iconic FRIENDS™ fountain, The FRIENDS™ Experience provides guests with the opportunity to take a trip down memory lane with plenty of photo opportunities and chances to recreate their favourite scenes, such as posing at Rachel and Monica’s purple door, relaxing in Chandler and Joey’s recliners, or helping Ross with the infamous sofa pivot.
