The Friends Experience is a traveling and permanent exhibition centered on the TV show Friends. It is marketed as an immersive, interactive attraction, displaying original costumes, props, and replica sets. What started as a temporary pop-up in New York City later became a fixed location and expanded into a touring version. The exhibit includes a gift shop selling souvenirs. Permanent sites exist in New York City and Las Vegas, with the New York location featuring a working Central Perk café. Temporary pop-up venues also appear, and each location is named in the style of a Friends episode.
