Defenetly one of the most beautiful places in Chicago. It is spectacular. The atmosphere is great, the bar is awesome, everything is clean and I was blessed to have a beautiful day with the most beautiful views. It is a wonderful experience. Recommended.

The views were amazing! The drinks were good also! We upgraded and got different drinks. We didn’t do the TILT but everything was nice. We stayed there for over an hour and weren’t rushed. We watched the sunset and it was just an overall nice experience!

    Gorgeous Nighttime city views

    Carolyn_A, Sept 2026
    I loved seeing the city lit up at night; just gorgeous!! The drinks that were included in the Sip and View were delicious!

    Absolutely amazing!...

    Nicole_R, Sept 2026
    Absolutely amazing! Beautiful views with wonderfully crafted cocktails. Everyone was so kind! Go at sunset- you won't regret it!

    Response from Host, Sept 2026

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Nicole! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful views, cocktails, and our team’s hospitality. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another amazing visit soon!

    Extremely dissatisfied...

    James_K, Sept 2026
    Extremely dissatisfied with customer service. Our tour was canceled due to weather. They only gave us an option to rebook for the following day in which we were leaving to return. Back home. I tried to request some sort of refund due to the fact that rebooking was not an option for us and we were declined. Horrible customer service and I have been booking through this company for over 10 years.

    Response from Host, Sept 2026

    We’re sorry to hear that your visit was canceled due to the weather and that the available rebooking option didn’t work with your travel plans. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been, especially after you had already made plans to visit us. We also truly appreciate that you’ve been booking through us for more than 10 years. That kind of continued support means a lot to us, and we’re sorry that this experience left you feeling disappointed. Our weather policy is in place because conditions can change quickly and may make it unsafe or impractical to operate as planned. That said, we understand that a rebooking option isn’t always possible, particularly when you’re traveling and leaving town. That is why your tickets remain valid for up to one year from the date of purchase and can be rescheduled at your convenience. If you're unable to use them, you are also welcome to transfer them to family or friends. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’ll be sure to pass it along to our team, as we’re always looking for ways to make these situations easier for our guests.

    Meh experience

    Kristenstephan, Sept 2026
    Purchasing the tickets in advance allows you to skip the line therefore getting to the observation area quickly. However, the observation area is really crowded and the drink choices are limited. The wine we got was definitely bad. Possibly would be better if you got a mixed drink. Don’t know if it was necessarily worth the money.

    Response from Host, Sept 2026

    Thanks a lot for the feedback, Kristen. If there's anything we can do to improve, feel free to fill out the contact form on our website.

    The experience once we...

    MARY_B, Aug 2026
    The experience once we arrived to the location for the Observation Deck Sip & View. Everything was nice. Concerns before we arrived: It would help tremendously if VIATOR could provide major landmarks nearby the location of the booked tour. For Example: The Cheesecake Factory (widely known establishment) was near the Observation deck. This would have narrowed it down more to where the meeting place was. It was very frustrating for us to find, although we were using the GPS while we walked to the Observation Deck. Even the GPS did not give clear directions for this particular event location.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Mary! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience at 360 CHICAGO and that everything was nice once you arrived. We truly appreciate you choosing to visit us and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future!

    Darlene_L, Aug 2026
    You have to pay an additional $15 each for the 360 thing. Ripoff! And the Margarita was really terrible

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Darlene. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with TILT and your Margarita left you feeling disappointed. We understand that TILT is not for everyone, which is why the experience is completely optional. We encourage guests to watch TILT in action before purchasing tickets so they can decide if it’s an experience they would enjoy adding to their visit. We’re also concerned to hear that your Margarita did not meet your expectations. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with our team, as we want every part of our guests’ experience to be enjoyable. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again and giving us another opportunity to provide you with a great experience.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Hello, thank you for the five-star review of 360 CHICAGO! We are ecstatic that you had an awesome time with us at the bar and around the observation deck. We hope you were able to take in the views from all 360 degrees, and we hope you can come back soon!

    Aside from the view, awful

    LYNN_M, Jul 2026
    So the view and the staff were amazing, but it was really not how it was portrayed. It was dirty. There wasn’t enough seating it smelled badly. I was expecting a lovely sunset cocktail looking out the window maybe some nice music… Instead, there were children running around everything was dirty. I would not go back, not worth it rushed out of a lovely five star dinner to get there in time. What a waste of time.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hello Lynn, thank you for the review of 360 CHICAGO. We can assure you our custodians do the best job of maintaining a clean space for our guests. The smell was probably because of the rain that we had received on Monday. Our observation deck is family-friendly. We hope you were able to take in the views of the Chicago Skyline and Lake Michigan. Thank you for visiting us, and we hope you can come back soon!

    Disappointed

    Samiya_C, Jul 2026
    It’s morning to do. There were closed areas and the Tilt experience is a super long wait. My time was 2pm and they weren’t open until 5. Not much to do but look out the window. Then the picture they took for us that you have to buy wasn’t even properly centered. It was a waste of time and I regret coming.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hello Samiya, thank you for the review of 360 CHICAGO. We are so sorry that you had this experience with us. There was most likely an event taking place that resulted in the blocked-off areas and the closed TILT time. I hope you were able to take in all of the views, and if you would like to provide additional insight on your visit, please send an email to info@360chicago.com. Thank you for visiting us, and we hope you can come back soon!

    Beautiful views, Sticky experience.

    Jennifer_K, Jul 2026
    The views from the Cloud Bar are incredible. Very memorable. The included cocktail was delicious and the gift shop had lots of neat items. However the Tilt experience was less than thrilling, and frankly kind of gross, because they do not wipe down the handles after each ‘experience.’ I was more concerned with the nasty, sticky mess than I was about the Tilt experience. Also, you should know that the photos they take are ridiculously expensive.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hello Jennifer, thank you for the review of 360 CHICAGO. We are so glad that you were able to enjoy the view with a drink from the CloudBar! I can assure you that our TILT employees wipe down the handles as often as they can, but it can be difficult to do so as often during busy times. Thank you for visiting us, and we hope you can visit us again soon!

    Excellent Experience!

    Jerry_G, Jul 2026
    My husband and I enjoyed the views, the concept of this experience is exceptional, and we would definitely share with friends and family.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hello Jerry, thank you for the kind review of 360 CHICAGO! We are so happy that you were able to share your experience with your husband. We hope you were able to really take in the city views. We are happy you would recommend us to friends and family! Thank you for visiting us, and we hope you can come back soon!

    Great view but skip the drink package.

    Marcy_M, Jul 2026
    The view was great and we did not have to wait long to go up in the elevator. However, the "Sip" part was a little disappointing. The pictures made it look like a nice bar area and we thought there would be more seats and table service, and an ability to order some bar food. Instead it's a walk up bar and anyone can just go get a drink. I believe it actually was less expensive to just buy the access only and then get a drink if you want one when you are there than to buy the package. Would stick with just the normal ticket vs buying the Sip and View version and go someplace else for a drink (with a nice bar ambience) after visiting the top of the building.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Marcy. We're glad you enjoyed the incredible views and that your trip to the top was quick and easy. We appreciate your comments regarding the Sip & View experience and understand it didn't fully meet your expectations. Guest feedback like yours is valuable as we continue evaluating and improving our offerings. If you'd like to share any additional details about your visit, please feel free to contact us at info@360chicago.com. Thank you for visiting 360 CHICAGO, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

    Michele_R, Jul 2026
    Great view, but not enough space for the sip and view. Children in the bar area. Other than that, great time. Too many people in a small area and waiting for a place to sit.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Michele! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the incredible views and had a great overall experience. We appreciate your comments regarding the Sip & View experience and understand that a crowded space can impact your visit. Please note that 360 CHICAGO is a family-friendly attraction, and we welcome guests of all ages to enjoy the views and atmosphere. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

    Felt like I was in line at Disney

    Danita_M, Jun 2026
    Most of our time was spent in line: a line to get up to the floor, a line to get your drink, and a line to get out. There was a line for Tilt that I couldn't stand in because the line to leave was starting to wrap around. I believe there are usually two elevators to take you up to the space, but only one was working. The team started taking us up using the freight elevator. The tickets weren't inexpensive, so the experience we had was not worth the price of entry. On a good day, it may have been a nice thing to do.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Hello Danita, thanks a lot for the feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve our attraction. We apologize for the long wait times. Due to one elevator being out of service, the lines at the observation deck were longer than normal. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

    This was the best experience I’ve ever had. The bartender was exceptional, I wish I got his name but he was so patient with everyone and doing a wonderful job making drinks they were delicious. I would definitely recommend a 10/10.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with us.

    Stunning sunset view with the beautiful Cloud bar, but the drinks included in the ticket are terrible basically just the mix of ice and water, no taste at all.

    Go early for Sunset View

    David_H, May 2026
    Thought with the Deck & Sip View ticket we would have access to a limited area. That is not the case. Made 730pm reservations for sunset view. Arrived on time and all the viewing area was already taken. So no real benefit for the drink package. Otherwise we enjoyed the view.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the views during your visit. We also appreciate your comments regarding the Sip & View ticket and your sunset reservation experience. Seating availability during peak sunset times can vary based on guest flow, and we understand how that impacted your expectations for the experience. Your feedback is helpful and will be shared with our team as we continue to review and improve the guest experience.

    carlos_v, May 2026
    We definitely enjoyed the experience Customers just need to know that you’re charged to go to the bar and look at the view and to do the tilt is extra so make sure to purchase the correct ticket entrance. In case someone is scared of heights, the tilting ride might be a little too much for them. The view is amazing though.

It sounds like the perfect day to take it all in. It’s great to hear you also enjoyed a drink with friends while relaxing above the skyline. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!

    Much fun! Definitely should go!

    Amber_R, Apr 2026
    Wow what a great experience. Great price for the experience! I love the views! Wish they had the panoramic elevator but it’s okay. They have the whole view point of Chicago upstairs! Also you can purchase a ticket for sip and view and that is what I go! You basically get one free drink which is great considering prices. You can also have lunch or small dinner with friends and enjoy the view! You can take professional pictures and get a bundle with the family for $55 or you can get a single photo for $35. I’d recommend going in the day if you want to take pictures because it’s a clearer perspective for the camera man. I honestly feel some of them could take better pictures though. Bring at least $25-40 for parking garage if you want to use the parking they have!

    It was really good the views in the evening are amazing. We did not do the tilt but this looked so good. Would highly recommend. The experience was amazing. The only downside was I went to order a drink from the bar and was told to wait for the server to come to our table, waited 10 minutes but still no server came, so I went to the bar and got served there.
