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.

4.00It was fun and a really cool way to see the city, we went around 11 am, had advance tickets so no line to wait in. You wind through a museum that's cool and then stand in line to enter the skybox. Have a plan, you have 90 seconds, my 13 year old didn't shut up so ended up with about 30 secs to snap a few photos. Pretty expensive to not get a photo, we could have gotten back into line and waited but it was just too long to justify it.
Great view but seemed little pricey.

4.00Great view from 103 floor. People were all nice. Easy to get tickets from kiosk. Think price was a little high. Maybe needs to offer senior discount and overall lower prices.
It was a great experience...

5.00We opted to go in the morning since reviews started it was the best vs night view. We are happy we chose an early am slot, no lines! We were in and out. They have 5 spots available which made it run even more smoothly. The staff was great too.

5.00It was spectacular was worth every dollar paid were very friendly and attentive, beautiful view; although I have drawbacks with the viator page where I bought the tickets because they made me double charge and besides they did not recognize me the QR code so I recommend to go directly to the willis towers and buy in window.
Great time well worth money
