Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
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

5.00The 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

4.00Expedited access costs more but well worth it it (especially if they are busy at all). You can enjoy the city or the lake views. Lots of landmarks. The ledge is a little scary but very safe. Just do it. Can be a bit pricey.
Really good experience,...

4.00Really good experience, starting with a build up on the history of Chicago, concluding with the skydeck
Willis Tower Sky Deck

5.00The view from the top is amazing. You get just enough time on the ledge for photos. The elevator ride up and down is quick. Parking around Willis Tower is expensive. We chose the first available garage and it was more for all day parking so 1 hour and 3 minutes cost us $48!!!!
Be scared but do it anyway!
