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

Amazing experience, the museum before the skydeck was very immersive and educational and from sight and ledges there is nothing to say, simultaneously amazing
Cannot take decent photos

Rushed Photo Opportunity! Somewhat of a rip off for the price (unless you could be allowed to take your own photos without the 90 sec limit)

It was great! More than just being on the Skydeck there was literally a whole exhibit about Chicago! We spent most of the time there! The Skydeck was cool but I have a fear of heights so I know I gave my son & the staff some laughing moments! Lol the lobby in the Willis towers is full of different spots to eat as well.
awesome

What a view!!!! Impressive to see the city from the heights, and more than by this time it had snowed. The tour of the museum is very interactive and informative, you enjoy and learn a lot.
It’s alright

This is a fun experience and great for pictures the only downside is that the staff rushes you to take pictures. You only have 90 seconds for your group to take pictures and they rush you.

Book through you all so they can skip the lines and shop in center while you wait. I do wish they would let you, go in earlier because the museum and the look outs take time. The schedule ledge time did not happen ontime because everyone was either bypass photo opportunities or crowded at the ledge. You only get 90 seconds on the ledge to take pictures so you have to be ready. Ears pop at floor 77 so chew gum on the way up and down to 103 floor. But we did eat afterwards. So yes all the food and places, something for everyone inside the tower was good. You need to plan that’s the only thing you doing for like 4 hours. If you don’t get there before your scheduled time you will be in a long line to scan tickets, go through security before entering museum. Give patience to go through museum and take pictures. Then have patience along to wait for your 90seconds. Great food, museum, and shops!
Windows were so foggy....

Windows were so foggy. You could barely see out. Lines were really long. Not warned about the unclear view.
