Could This BE Any More Exciting?! What To Expect At The F.R.I.E.N.D.S Experience In Manila
Published on Oct 8, 2025
If no one told you that a F.R.I.E.N.D.S exhibit is coming to Manila soon—well, we're here to give you all the details about it.
Yup, you've read that right. Filipino fans can soon enter the world (or apartment, rather) of our favorite sitcom through The F.R.I.E.N.D.S™ Experience: The One In Manila.
What is the F.R.I.E.N.D.S™ Experience?
Whether you're a millennial who saw F.R.I.E.N.D.S during your 20s, or a Gen Z who caught up with all 10 seasons through streaming platforms, the Experience is the one for you.
It's an interactive and immersive exhibit that showcases landmarks and props used in the show. From Joey's apartment to Monica's and even to our favorite café of all time, Central Perk—the Experience has it all.
The Experience first opened in New York City in March 2021. Fun fact: It's the only Experience location that features an operational Central Perk cafe, complete with a special selection of coffee and snacks for exhibit-goers. Aside from the one in NYC, it also made stops in Las Vegas, London, Fortaleza in Brazil, and this year in Manila.

Behind The Scenes Bits
It's been more than a decade since F.R.I.E.N.D.S was first released, but there is still a lot to discover about the well-loved sitcom.
At the Experience, you can expect to see some of the wardrobe used in the show, sketches of the early set design and planning, and yes, even Rachel's 18-page letter to Ross—FRONT AND BACK!
There will also be a dedicated spot for signed scriptbooks by the cast, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer.
Relive The Show As If You're On The Set
With the whole set coming into life once again at the Experience, everyone has the chance to relive the F.R.I.E.N.D.S experience as if they're on the set, FR!
The couch used in the iconic opening credits scene of the show will be present for fans to sit on and take their F.R.I.E.N.D.S-inspired photos.
Joey and Chandler's apartment—and their famous reclining chairs in their living room—will be there for you to sit on and feel like Joey and Chandler just for a bit, LOL.
Our favorite dining table inside Monica's apartment is also making its way to Manila. And boy, are we so excited to be there and feel like we're in our very own F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode! (Just be careful not to break any of Monica's plates! 😂)
Fun Time With Friends!
Trust us when we say that the entire Experience is designed for large groups of people. So, yes, you can go there with your whole gang. You may take photos and videos with Ross' PIVOT! couch as you try to pivot it. Or if you want to wear any more clothes like Joey did, they're gonna be there ready for you.
There may be some areas with timed slots to accommodate other Experience-goers, so make sure to think fast about which pose or clip you'd want to recreate in each corner of the Experience! 😊 (Pro-tip: best to bring just small bags and a small tripod!)
