The immersive experience as you walk through had lots of history and interesting facts. You could take as long as you wanted and plenty of photo ops. The elevator ride was a quick one to the 103rd floor. There were information points so you knew what you were looking out at. The views were great and we had clear skies. The glass lookout wait moved fast and there was a professional camera there or you could take your photos. We were too afraid to step on the glass so we just took pictures right before the glass started. Overall a great experience and a beautiful way to see the city from above.
It’s a great experience! I love the summery of Chicago’s s history at the hall way . I wish they gave us more than 2 min at the balcony !
Couldn’t see the views at all, very cloudy day. Was a traveler so didn’t have time for a reschedule and couldn’t get a refund because ticket was bought through 3rd party.
Great experience. Friendly staff. Easy process. The wait was not extremely long and we were able to take a significant amount of pictures. I highly recommend
The entrance to the building was confusing but once in, the directions were very clear. There was plenty of staff to ensure safety and efficacy and to assist. Along the path to the elevator to the skydeck was an immersive experience of Chicago, history, architecture, music, food, etc. The elevator to the very top was filled with soft music and immersive photos. Once at the top, there was plenty of room for photos and sightseeing with landmarks of the town indicated. I did not go out on the ledge but the rest of my family did.
Everything was great! With your tickets, you can enter easily, and the building is very well signposted, so it’s easy to find your way around. You can park on the street or in a nearby garage. I definitely recommend going in the morning when they open at 9 AM, because there are fewer people and you have more time to take pictures without so much waiting. There is plenty of signage once you enter, so you won’t get lost. It’s definitely worth visiting!
We went there on a Friday morning at 10:30, expecting to see long lines, but were pleasantly surprised. Entry was smooth. We reached the top after browsing through an interesting exhibition of displays and dioramas of Chicago history. At the top we stood in a short line to step on the ledge. Each group gets a timed 90 seconds, so be ready with your camera! You are allowed to get back in line for a second chance. The young lady there was obliging enough to to take pictures of our family.
Don’t get me wrong. It was beautiful. But could use a little more something with the information leading up to the big attraction.
The view was beautiful but the windows were incredibly dirty with smudged and fingerprints, as I’m sure it’s an ongoing job but finding a place to take a picture was difficult. The lines to the clear boxes were very long and the view from that side of the building was not as impressive as the other sides were which was a bit of a bummer. Just not quite what I was expecting perhaps. I still gave it a 4 star. Still an impressive view but the Empire and The Rock have our 1st and 2nd place for now. Willis is a close 3rd from the tall buildings we have seen so far. And if you never plan on going to NY then this would be a must see. So still a great place to be.
Bring walking shoes and prepare to wait in line for a bit. Great views of the city during the day. Good for all ages
Skydeck Chicago was a really nice experience! We visited in the morning, and it wasn’t overcrowded, which made it much more enjoyable. The views of Chicago from the top were really cool and impressive, especially seeing the city from above. Definitely worth visiting, and I’d recommend going earlier in the day for a more relaxed experience.
It was amazing would definitely do it again I faced my fears 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Didn’t wait at all in line and there were many fun photo props! Once we made it to the Skydeck the views were immaculate.
Very cool museum-like tour to start that shares the history of Chicago and some of the top attractions in the city. The actual skydeck experience was better than anticipated and a surreal experience. Highly recommend!
I did not use this service, no idea why I received a text, I did not use this service, no idea why I received a text
The view is good from the 103rd floor, but this was my least favorite activity in Chicago, and way overpriced, in my opinion.
Good experience but scary for me. Taking pictures on the deck was different. I didn’t know I was afraid of heights, but I was queazy.
More than I expected! I never been to the Willis Tower but was blown away by the experience!!! There was a museum on the way to the Skydeck. I wish we had more time to take it all in but we were able to go back through the museum after our skydeck experience. The Skydeck itself was awe inspiring! We went in the ledge and you can actually go several times if you want!!! We took some pictures in the ledge which you are able to pick up after you’re done!!! All the buildings and cars literally look like toys you can pick up and move around !Great memories for my son and me!!
JJ was awesome and so informative. Even my kids loved the learning experience. We did 6:30pm tour and it was a great time for it.
The Skydeck was such an amazing experience! We went at 9:30 am on a Thursday, and there were no lines. The windows up top had such amazing views, even before you get into the box. There was also an amazing little museum on your way to the elevators to go up, and it was nice to read about all the building and Chicago. Would definitely recommend and do it again!
Really nice view! The museum to the top was fun as well. They give you 90 seconds on the deck so get ready.
The experience was amazing. I especially loved the photo opportunities leading up to the Skydeck itself!
Really neat experience. Full of information and the lines moved pretty quick and efficiently. Was very surprised at how many businesses were in the bottom of the building
Wonderful experience however planning it for later in the day or early would help with the sun being it your eyes and lots of shadows in pictures, we went at 2pm.
Overall great time!
We had a great time. We went in the morning 10:30am not to crowded. Amazing views of the city!! The Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing tour bus stops in front.
You go through a metal detector. Cool history of Chicago before going in elevator. Smooth elevator ride up. Fantastic views.
Build was very interesting and very clean . I not a fan of heights but I would recommend the tour it was cool
Breathtaking views. Beware the price to park at some of the parking garages. We was hit with a $61 charge.
Amazing time worth the price customer service was great pictures came out nice The ledge was scary but a great experience
Go first thing in the morning or at sunset. Best time
Parking is very expensive
Was ok we were disappointed thinking we booked the 360. So be careful when booking as we didn’t get the one we really wanted to do. But the seats tower was still nice.
The Skydeck was amazing with wonderful views of the City. The Ledge was fantastic and great picture opportunities, and the exhibits about the City before you went up were was really good too!
