The Meta Lab LA store.

Meta is just about to launch its impressive smart glasses with a display, and to give more people a chance to try them out and see its other smart glasses and VR hardware, the company is going to open new shops starting in October. New Meta Lab pop-up shops will be located in Las Vegas and New York, and and its Los Angeles Meta Lab location, which opened as a pop-up last year, will return as Meta’s flagship store. Meta’s Bay Area shop in Burlingame, California, remains open, too.

Here’s when you’ll be able to visit each of the new stores, according to Meta:

  • The Las Vegas shop at the Wynn Las Vegas will open on October 16th
  • The Los Angeles shop on Melrose Avenue will open on October 24th, and it will be expanded to more than 20,000 square feet
  • The New York shop on Fifth Avenue is “currently scheduled” to open on November 13th

And if you want to try out the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, you can book a demo on Meta’s website. For the Meta Labs stores, Meta will initially open up booking for demos at the Burlingame and Los Angeles locations. The website also has booking options for non-Meta Lab stores, but Meta says that appointments in “many major cities” are already booked through mid-October.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are set to launch on September 30th. Meta also recently released a second-generation version of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and is scheduled to launch the $499 Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses on October 21st.

Correction, September 24th: The Los Angeles store is being brought back as a permanent location, not a pop-up shop.
