4.00The 94th floor views are amazing. I wish we could have toured it on a outside balcony but it was still pretty clear to take pictures from inside. We had a drink at the CloudBar and walked around for about 45 minutes.

5.00It’s cute! You get to see the views of Chicago. We went at 8:30, so it got dark pretty quickly while we were up there. We added on tickets to do the Tilt. It was fun but short.

4.00The booking description says 2-4 hours Took us less than an hour Would be better if the view had a few placards to read about specific views/buildings/landmarks to go along with it rather than just the names on the windows of 4 or 5 things in view.
Cool, but more of a check the box item

3.00It was neat to see,. but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Neat, but not really worth the cost. Once you've looked around a couple minutes not much to do.
Fabulous views of a gorgeous city

5.00Highly recommend this activity when in Chicago. We got our tickets an hour before entry and went up around 6.30, great time to see the views for us. Staff were friendly, price was reasonable and views were incredible. It did get busier throughout our time there but plenty of space for sight seeing and photo opportunities.
Lovely views and great staff

5.00Lovely place and the little deck you walk out on was cool. I think the premium tickets get longer time and a shorter line but I didn’t find the general tickets much different. The staff were great, they take an official picture and then some on your phone which I was grateful for.

3.00The visit to the observation deck was disappointing. Most of the experience involved waiting in a long line just to take an elevator to the top. Once at the top, there was very little organization and views were not that great in my opinion.
Great City View
