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

5.00We actually didn't make it there in time for the event. My niece from Texas and I were really hoping to experience the thrill and excitement of it all be we were kind of stuck down by the Navy Pier. So unfortunate for us but the thought of it was exciting 😃

5.00The sites were beautiful from up there and I am so appreciative of the lady up there who was patient with me. I’m TERRIFIED of heights and had a small meltdown but she didn’t push, she walked away to give me space and once I stepped out she took the picture . I truly appreciate her kindness
