5.00Exceeded my expectations. As a native NYer I had the opportunity to visit the Twin Towers observation deck and the Empire State Building. 360 Chicago and the view of the city from the Sears Tower ruvaled them both. The atmosphere up on the deck is cool and inviting. Plenty places to sit and view at your leisure. The bar/lounge is a popular and great spot to enjoy an adult beverage, meet new people and remark about the spectacular views. I visited with my children ages 24, 22 and 18 and they absolutely loved the experience. We stayed for over an hour, took plenty pictures and had fun spotting all the places we'd visited while in the city.
Amazing views

5.00The views really are incredible - well organised with plenty of staff - shop and bar at the top so we could have a drink and wait for the sunset. Can buy the Tilt when there if you fancy it - my husband decided he wanted a go when he saw it (paid an extra $18). Photos are taken for you to buy when in there… they sell you packages but if you scan the QR code on the ticket you are given I got all the photos digitally from the website for €40 (Top Tip… if you have more than one ticket like we did (pics as we enter and pics from my hubbys Tilt experience) then use one of their machines to scan both at once to ‘view’ everything together - then you only have to scan one of the tickets on the website and but one package as they are already all linked together)
Beautiful views at night.

4.00Gorgeous views, especially at night when we went. The bar area takes up about half the space so for families it restricts the viewing area. If you’re there to have some drinks and enjoy the view, that area is great!

5.00It was phenomenal! I felt like I was floating on the 94th floor! That picture was perfect! You can make it a quick tour if you’re in a hurry or you could take your time!
