It's official! After announcing that it would be launching in Toronto in 2022, The FRIENDS Experience has just released its opening dates, and you can step right inside the show this summer.

The immersive attraction will make its international debut at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre on July 14, and it will run until January 2, 2023. It was originally created in celebration of the show's 25 anniversary, and it features tons of iconic moments that you can experience in real life.

The event, dubbed "The One In Toronto," lets you explore 12 different rooms and activations where you can live like a main character. You can peek around the purple door, chill in Chandler and Joey's recliner, and attempt the iconic sofa pivot. Of course, the experience isn't complete without a trip to Central Perk.

"We are looking forward to the debut of The FRIENDS Experience in Canada," Stacy Moscatelli, Co-President and Chief Strategy Officer of Superfly X said in a press release. "FRIENDS fans in Toronto and those visiting the area will be able to step inside the world of the iconic series, relive their favourite moments and celebrate the show unlike ever before."

Timed entry tickets are available online starting May 26 at 10 a.m. You can also purchase private entry tickets for groups of six to ten, which allows you and your friends to enjoy the space before the crowds arrive.

Get ready for tons of nostalgia at this immersive experience, where you can recreate iconic moments from the beloved sitcom.
