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!

Really not worth $100. Wanting to have my kids experience things but the costs of these experiences have become absurd. Neat experience but was a free one 20ish years ago

This was a real highlight of the fun things I did around a conference trip to Chicago. The views are obviously spectacular, but the whole experience is good from initial entry to the lift going down. There is a lot of information about the City as you walk to the lifts, with fun photo ops and immersive experiences. The lift ride up is also really informative. Once at the top the views are incredible and the Skyledges were a test of my vertigo. The staff were super helpful in getting me out onto the ledge and I wish I had thought to tip them (you only have 90 seconds so not long to conquer your fears!) There is a gift shop at the top but no cafe and it was not at all crowded with only a short queue for the ledges themselves. Photographs cost a lot extra, but actually they were pretty good. I'd definitely recommend this - but book in advance online as it is a lot more expensive to turn up and pay.
