“Breathtaking Views at the Skydeck of Willis Tower!”

Published on Jan, 2025

The Skydeck at Willis Tower offers an unforgettable experience with panoramic views of Chicago that are absolutely stunning! Standing on the glass ledge and looking down at the city below was thrilling and surreal. The interactive exhibits inside provide fascinating insights into the history and architecture of the city, making the visit both fun and educational. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Whether you’re a local or visiting, the Skydeck is a must-see for anyone looking to take in the best views of Chicago. Highly recommend!

SKYDECK with no view.

Published on Jan, 2025

Despite the weather, with 0% visibility, we went up to the 103rd floor of the Skydeck. Even so, the visit was interesting, due to the "path" we followed until we reached the elevators, which showed us many images and information. We intend to return in the spring, to "complete" our experience.

Beautiful Windy City from Above

Published on Jan, 2025

It’s worth it big time, it’s a must-go and must be in anyone’s wish list when visting Chicago for the first time

A must visit attraction

Published on Jan, 2025

A must visit if in Chicago and worth the cost. There was quite a lot of information about Chicago's history and then you were able to go to the viewing area to see Chicago in 360. The views are amazing and it was nice to do this on the first day and then walk around later to see the same buildings up close. The ledge is a bit of a gimmick and you're only given a small amount of time in there and if staged photo ops aren't your thing then it's a bit awkward. Otherwise a fantastic attraction!

Stunning Views but The Ledge feels a little rushed

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great time visiting the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) in downtown Chicago. As the highest observation deck in the city, it offers breathtaking views in all four directions. Thanks to our Chicago CityPass, we enjoyed expedited entry, which was a huge plus since both the ground-level line and the wait for The Ledge seemed quite long. While The Ledge is considered the highlight, we found ourselves more captivated by the experience of watching the city transition from daylight to the beautifully illuminated nighttime skyline. The 90-second limit per group on The Ledge felt a bit rushed, though still thrilling and absolutely worth doing, a more relaxed attitude really lets you soak in the views. If you're debating between the Willis Tower and the John Hancock 360 Skydeck, we've visited both and found them equally impressive. Both offer a 360 degrees view over the city so you can’t really go wrong with either. If you’re using the CityPass, we’d recommend sticking with the Willis Tower, as visiting both observation decks might not be necessary unless you have extra time to spare (the John Hancock center is also included in the CityPass, but as an optional activity as opposed to the Willis Tower which is non-optional).
