When we visited Brussels earlier two years ago, one of the highlights of our trip was stepping into the world of Friends through the Friends Experience. Imagine walking through Monica’s purple apartment, lounging on the famous orange couch at Central Perk, and even yelling “PIVOT!” while moving a couch like Ross – it was surreal!

And now, guess what, Pinoys? The Friends Experience is coming to Manila this October 2025!

From Europe to the Philippines

After touring more than 30 cities worldwide – from New York to London, Paris, Sydney, and yes, Brussels — the Friends Experience is finally making its first-ever Asian stop in the Philippines. Manila will host the exhibit from October 8 to November 30, 2025, at The Space at Solaire, Parañaque City.

What to Expect?

Just like in Brussels, Filipino fans can look forward to:

• Life-sized sets: Monica’s kitchen, Joey and Chandler’s recliners, and of course Central Perk with the orange sofa.
• Props and costumes: A collection of iconic replicas from the sitcom.
• Interactive photo spots: Strike a pose by the fountain or relive Ross’ “pivot” moment.
• Merch corner: Bring home official Friends goodies.

Why It Matters for Pinoys?

If you grew up in the ‘90s and early 2000s, Friends was probably part of your barkada’s TV routine. And thanks to streaming, today’s younger fans are discovering the same jokes and heartwarming friendships that made the show timeless.

Having the exhibit in Manila means Filipinos don’t have to fly abroad to experience the magic. It’s not just an event, it’s a cultural moment — and one that connects Pinoys to the global fandom of Friends.
