Next stop: the 600th floor! Percy Jackson fans can finally take the elevator to Mount Olympus with a new immersive experience at New York City’s Empire State Building.
From Nov. 16 through Dec. 4, Disney+ is inviting demigods and mortals alike to explore Olympus Awaits, a limited-time takeover celebrating the series’ upcoming third season. The experience transforms the landmark’s 80th floor into the mythical home of the Greek gods, giving fans the chance to step inside the world of their favorite series — no magic pearls required.

At the event, halfbloods can explore the gods’ lavish throne room, filled with interactive props, hidden Easter eggs, and photo-ops of mythic proportions. There’s a towering seat for all 12 Olympians, each dripping with details inspired by the deity’s domain, so every demigod can snap a pic with their godly parent. A few lucky fans might even walk away with special Percy Jackson keepsakes, including a key to Olympus itself.
The adventure continues on the 86th Floor Observation Deck, where fans can shop for exclusive event merchandise, snack on blue treats from the Eataly pop-up, and soak in the New York City skyline. As a bonus, on Nov. 20, the building will light up the night with a glowing exterior display that’s definitely worth the quest to Midtown.
If your fear of heights rivals Thalia’s, don’t worry! You can also snap free photos with a Hand of Talos installation in the ticketing office, so you can capture your own mythic moment from the safety of the ground floor.
Olympus Awaits is included with regular Observation Deck admission, though the experience will be closed Nov. 17-18. Fans can purchase their tickets now through the Empire State Building’s website.
And that’s not all! Beyond the Big Apple, Disney+ is also teaming up with bakeries across the U.S. for limited-time blue treats and other Percy-inspired perks during the Season 3 premiere week, Nov. 16-20. Participating restaurants include Utopia Bagels, The Dotcakes, The Salty Donut, Mel’s Drive-In, Lakon Paris, Zabar’s, Apollonia’s Pizzeria, Georgetown Cupcakes, and more.

Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premieres Nov. 20 on Disney+ and Hulu.
