The interactive 18-room exhibit is full of props from the apartment and recreates classic scenes from the hit sitcom. While the décor of the house was filmed in an LA studio, the exterior of the building is a real-life New York location and now it will entertain people who wish to relive the ‘FRIENDS experience.’

According to the ad by the website, giving a complete nostalgia feeling, the guests will be treated to a special tour as well as dinner and drinks during their stay. They can also channel Monica's competitive spirit in a late-night game of Phoebe's Cab Escape Room and a "Friends"-themed scavenger hunt.
