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!

But I gave it a try and it wasn't too freaky at all. I just looked out & not down. Plenty of time to take some selfies & no extra charge like there is at the Tilt. Get a City Pass to go to the head of the line.

The skydeck views are actually really nice. The building itself has quite a unique and interesting history. I liked visiting there. But it is usually crowded as hell and you would have to stand in line 1-2 hours between entering the building and taking the elevator to the top. Then there is another line to get to skydeck. Tips: buy your ticker ahead online to save at 15-30 min out of wait time. Plan your visit midweek and/or midday instead of weekend night if you can.

So went there over the labor day weekend.... long lines and they said there is a wait of 1.5 to 2 hours! Decided, not worth the wait.... after a few minutes, they said it wait now only 30 minutes :-). So bought tickets and went up.... and it was PACKED! Long lines to get on the deck (was told, 1-2 hours) :-(. Decided to give the 'deck' a miss,,,, but it was so packed, you could not even get around easily to take in the view around the tower. So nice views.... but they ought to better manage people getting up there. (...or folks could consider another such place in Chicago to take in the view!)
