It's not a restaurant although you can buy coffee in Central Perk at the end. It's all sets and items from the show. If you love Friends it's worth a visit . You can get some great photos . We laughed the whole way through.

Arun Kumar Patil | Oct 22, 2021
Stacie Hines | Oct 22, 2021

they have photo places set up throughout and the staff takes pictures for you. Some with their camera, some with your own phones. You'll have a paper with a QR code that they scan at each section and all photos are sent to your email after the event. The digital pictures to your email are free. You can choose to purchase some at the end if you'd like but you don't have to. 1 picture was $15, 4 pictures was $40. Have fun!!
