What To Expect
Visit Chicago's highest point, the Skydeck on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) with this pre-paid admission ticket. Enjoy panoramic views of the Chicago skyline, world-famous for its distinctive architecture.
Explore several exhibits at the on-site Chicago Experience, designed for learners of all ages, like interactive digital floor displays, touch-screen activities and scavenger hunts that not only highlight Chicago's iconic landmark, but also celebrate the Windy City's sports, architecture, pop culture, history, food, music and people. Challenge yourself with a Chicago trivia game, compare the heights of the tallest structures in the world, and see just how many of your bodies it would take to reach the height of Willis Tower.
Walk out onto the Ledge, a glass box-like balcony that extends 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) from the building, and experience an unconventional view of the city — from above. Admire the lofty views of top Chicago attractions, like Wrigley Field, the Navy Pier and Millennium Park, all from a breathtaking height of 1,353 feet (412.4 meters). On a clear day, you can see up to 50 miles (80.5 km) out. It’s also the perfect vantage point for great sunset and twinkling night city views.

Love the Chicago history with the Skydeck!! My kids loved everything about it too- fun for teens and adults!
Cool experience. Long wait.
Destiny_B, Apr 2024
While the experience was cool, the long line to wait to get up the elevator was unbearable. It was very hot waiting in line and made us second guess our decision to book. Won’t take the time to do it again.
The Chi town sky experience.

The admission staff and the curators were excellent. Very informative features about the Willis Tower and several other skyscrapers. They take a group pic for you to buy if desired. The view of Chicago is amazing!! You’re on an 103rd floor ledge. It may get a bit scary at first, but the thrill is nice!
Bring your own stool

No place to sit. Arthritis and bone spurs make appreciating this attraction very difficult. A place to sit for a few minutes would help alot. For those who need a little break from standing, please bring a wheel chair or portable seat to shorten the standing time.
