Ahead of the third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ arrival on Disney+ and Hulu, the series has brought Mount Olympus to the Empire State Building in New York City. The third season premieres on Disney+ on November 20, 2026. Called “Olympus Awaits,” this is an immersive takeover of the iconic Empire State Building Observation Deck.

This experience will be offered from Monday, November 16th through Friday, December 4th. During this time, fans will be able to ascend beyond the clouds to the “600th Floor” and step into Olympus. This is part of the Empire State Building’s ticketed Observation Deck experience. It brings the world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians to life high above New York City.

NOTE: This experience will be closed on November 17th and November 18th.

This first-of-its-kind experience is the first time that the Empire State Building’s 80th Floor has been transformed through an immersive entertainment takeover of this scale. This experience allows fans to get an exclusive opportunity to step into the world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians at one of the most iconic destinations in the world. This brings the mythical home of the gods to life in a way that has never been experienced at the Empire State Building.

This opportunity to enter a Throne Room on the mythical “600th Floor” is included with admission to the Empire State Building Observation Deck. This is complete with towering thrones that are inspired by Greek gods. Along the way, fans can discover that there are some hidden references to the series, interactive elements, and immersive photo moments. Throughout the week, lucky demigods may also experience some surprise-and-delight moments. Select visitors may receive special keepsakes that are inspired by the world of Percy Jackson. One of these keepsakes is a key to Olympus. There are also other godly treasures.

The mythological adventure doesn’t just stop with the Observation Deck, though. It continues through the building with multiple show-inspired experiences that are designed for both demigods and mortals alike. There will also be a special “Hand of Talos” installation found at the ground-floor ticketing office. This will offer a free photo opportunity for fans to capture a mythic moment without making the journey up to Olympus.

On top of all of that, the Empire State Building will come to life at night with “The Glow From Olympus” special exterior lighting display. This is currently scheduled for Friday, November 20 (this date is subject to change). It will transform the landmark into a radiant beacon that is inspired by the legendary home of the gods.

There will also be exclusive Percy Jackson and the Olympians | Empire State Building merchandise that will be available for purchase for a limited time on the 86th Floor Observation Deck. There will also be the Eataly pop-up on the 86th Floor where fans can purchase a special Percy-inspired blue treat.

Tickets for the “Olympus Awaits” experience can be purchased HERE. Along with the “Olympus Awaits” experience and “Hand of Talos” at the Empire State Building, there will also be other “Offerings from Olympus” to be found beyond New York City.
