An immersive Friends 25 Pop-Up Experience arrives in New York City next week to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the iconic television series. While tickets for “The One With The Pop-Up in Manhattan” may have sold out in two hours, there are still many other ways super Friends’ fans can experience the celebration first-hand.
Kicking things off is the Manhattan Pop-up Immersive Experience which begins September 7th and runs through October 6th. Lucky ticket holders will be able to explore the TV series as if they were in it. Everything from a replica of the fountain in the show’s opening to the orange couch from the Central Perk coffee shop will be on hand for fun, amazing photo opps.
