'Friends Experience' Is There For Fans In Phoenix Through May 8

PHOENIX, AZ —Could Phoenix-based fans of the TV show "Friends" BE any more excited about Thursday's opening of "The 'Friends' Experience" in the Valley?

The interactive exhibit features 12 rooms —many with replicas of some of the most iconic sets from the TV show — as fans get a chance to explore the show's history and recreate some of their favorite moments from "Friends," which ran on NBC from 1994 to 2004.

"The 'Friends' Experience: The One in Phoenix" will run through May 8 at the Paradise Village Gateway, 10845 N. Tatum Blvd. Hours and ticket information are available on The Friends Experience Phoenix website.

The touring exhibit was created in 2019 by Superfly X, Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television Group to celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Friends." The Experience already has had successful runs in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas.

According to exhibit organizers, fans attending "The 'Friends' Experience" can expect to see Monica's kitchen, the Friends fountain, Rachel and Monica's purple door and Chandler and Joey's recliner. The space also features a replica of the Central Perk coffee shop with its legendary orange couch.

A "Friends" retail store is on-site and open to both ticketed and non-ticketed guests.

"We are thrilled to kick off 'The Friends Experience's' 2022 North American tour in Phoenix," said Stacy Moscatelli, co-president and chief strategy officer of Superfly X, which also organized "'The Office' Experience," based on another NBC show.

Moscatelli added: "Phoenix 'Friends' fans will be able to step inside the world of the iconic series, relive their favorite moments and celebrate the show unlike ever before."

Timed tickets to "The 'Friends' Experience" start at $30.50 plus taxes and fees. Private access tickets also are available for groups of up to six to 10 guests.
