Coming to Plano’s The Shops at Willow Bend on November 4, the immersive “The Friends Experience” has already had success in New York, Chicago, and Atlanta. In honor of the iconic sitcom’s 25th anniversary, the Dallas area will play host to the experience’s first Texas stop. “The One in Dallas,” as they are calling it, will be a two-story interactive space with 12 rooms and activations to explore. These include the Friends fountain and Central Perk (with the orange couch, of course).

You’ll also be able to sneak a peek through Rachel and Monica’s purple door, chill out in Chandler and Joey’s recliners, and help “Pivot!” the sofa up the stairs.

Created by Superfly X and Warner Bros., this experience is sure to be legit. Tickets cost $32.50 per person for timed entry. Or, if you’re a superfan, you can book a private group experience with a Central Perk coffee cart and access to an exclusive Friends retail store for $384.

This week, fans of legendary sitcom undoubtedly heard the news that James Michael Tyler (who played Gunther on the series) passed away from cancer. Actors Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow mourned the loss with posts on Instagram. If you visit the experience, take a moment to honor everyone’s favorite gentle barista.

The Friends Experience will only be in Dallas until January 17 so make sure to get your tickets soon.
