Skydeck Chicago Admission Ticket

Overview

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

What To Expect

Skydeck Chicago - Willis Tower

Marvel at Chicago from an unparalleled viewpoint during this exciting Skydeck experience. Located in Willis Tower, formerly Sears Tower, the Skydeck offers spectacular sweeping vistas of Chicago and beyond from the 103rd floor. 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-straight-down! Admire the lofty views of top Chicago attractions 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 nightscape views. Bring your camera or treat yourself to a professional photo available at the gift shop. Enjoy our new multi million dollar expansion with our new Chicago Experience. Prior to taking the elevator ride to the 103rd floor, enjoy a 45K sq. ft. museum that encompasses a little history, architecture, part children's and instagrammable museum. Great for all ages!

Just check visibility, everything else was easy. They won’t refund regardless of visibility so check that

For me this was mediocre at best. We had admission included in our CityPass or I don’t know that we would have spent the money to do this separately. I will say the CityPass afforded us expedited entry which was nice. If I had to wait in long lines to do this I wouldn’t have waited. Views were neat and the glass ledge definitely put perspective on how high we were but overall it just felt lackluster to me.

The views were spectacular. We went early and had no wait. Spent as much time as we wanted in the sky deck up top. The museum you walk through to get to the elevator is one of the best as well. Highly recommend as a must do in Chicago. The staff were also so friendly and accommodating.
