Time Out says

Grab your besties and get ready to pivot your way down to the District Docklands, because everyone’s favourite '90s sitcom is setting up shop in Melbourne. The Friends Experience is making its Down Under debut on September 1, so you and your pals will soon be able to relive unforgettable moments from the show, for the ‘gram or just for the mems. 

More than 25 years after it first graced our TV screens back in 1994, it’s safe to say Friends is still one of the most beloved shows of all time – it’s certainly our go-to comfort watch. Now, those craving more of the show’s hilarious energy can perk up their days (geddit?) by staging a photoshoot in the show’s iconic coffee house, settling into Chandler and Joey’s ultra-comfortable recliners, or taking a seat on what is perhaps the world’s most recognisable couch. 

And of course, you can’t recreate Friends without also striking a pose in Monica’s spotless kitchen and splashing around by the famous fountain from the opening credits. 

The Friends Experience has attracted more than a million visitors around the world and tickets are on sale now. Allow at least 45 minutes to enjoy this nostalgic outing, just be sure not to mention the words “on a break”. The interactive sets are suitable for all ages, so get yours online to secure your spot.
