Overview

Mobile ticket
Gaze upon the city sights from the pinnacle of Chicago, the Skydeck. Located on the 103rd floor of Willis Tower, formerly Sears Tower -- the third-tallest building in the world -- the Skydeck offers spectacular sweeping views and is full of interactive exhibits. To complete your exciting Chicago experience, head to the Ledge, a glass balcony showcasing unbeatable views of Chicago’s top attractions like Wrigley Field and the Navy Pier.
We added a brand new Chicago Experience that you start with by the box office prior taking the elevator trip to the 103rd floor. It is a 45,000 sq ft. museum of today. The New Experience is part Chicago History, part Architecural tour, part Selfie Museum and part Children's Museum. This is fun and interactive for all ages. Ride our "L" Train, see our infinity pizza bed, take pictures ontop of Willis Tower and so much more! This is the best way to see Chicago in one setting.
With mobile tickets, simply scan your phone for direct entry into the SkyDeck

3.00It is expensive and you only get 90 seconds in the window. You can get back in line but the line is longer to wait in than the time in the window. There are other windows to look out and take photos but not to stand on and look down. Overall fun but not worth $49 a person. Also if you want to get expedited through line that is an extra cost. I recommend only go very early to avoid lines. Parking is also atrocious.

5.00I thought when I arrived that I was going to be guided on the tour, but they told me at the office that I was not. I was surprised because when purchasing the ticket, one of the options was a guided visit.

Willis Tower (Sears in my heart)

3.00The view is of course amazing. It’s the best way to view the city. However, it’s just a quick visit. Unless you REALLY try, it’s maybe a 20min walk at the skydeck. Worth it? I guess if you’ve never been. It’s not cheap, which makes multiple visits questionable.
