Chi-Town here we come! Get a deep-dish pizza in the oven for Joey because the wildly popular FRIENDS Experience is coming to Chicago. Originally created for the showโs 25th anniversary, fans can celebrate their favorite friends and revisit some of the seriesโ most iconic moments with this two-story, enhanced experience created by Superfly X, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Warner Bros. Television Group. โThe One in Chicagoโ will be located at The Shops at North Bridge on the Magnificent Mile at 540 N. Michigan Ave. (the corner of N. Michigan Ave. and E. Ohio St.). Tickets go on sale Wednesday, September 2nd, at 10:00 a.m. CDT exclusively atย www.FriendsTheExperience.com.
The interactive space features 12 nostalgia-packed rooms and activations plus several all-new experiences including Monicaโs kitchen and balcony and the iconic FRIENDS fountain. The space provides opportunities to explore the showโs history and re-create your favorite moments including peaking around Rachel and Monicaโs purple door, relaxing in Chandler and Joeyโs recliner, or helping Ross with the infamous sofa pivot. And of course, the space will feature a re-created Central Perk with the legendary orange couch where you can be like Phoebe and serenade your friends with โSmelly Cat.โ
