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!

Great experience with more than just the skydeck! We really enjoyed the museum and thought it was well worth our time and money!

Each person is allotted a couple of minutes to take a picture rather than utilizing their personal phone or purchasing a photo from the representative who accompanied myself and my nephew. Unfortunately, the representative displayed a rather standoffish demeanor, which was particularly disappointing considering the premium price paid for the experience, which merely entailed standing on a window ledge for two minutes. Regrettably, the picture taken by the representative was subpar, as were the purchased photos. In light of this experience, I would not recommend it, especially given the exorbitant price, which did not align with the value received.

We purchases our tickets ahead of time...just in case but there seemed to be plenty of spots open when we arrived at our designated time. The museum they wind you through is very interesting and we enjoyed the interactivity of it. We did have a later time and the food court locations were closed already so be mindful if that is where you are planning on eating. You recieve a QR code at the beginning that they use for your "official" photo. You get a single group photo but can requeue and take your own - which we did. It took me a few times to make it on the ledge - back in if you are nervous. Back in and keep your eyes straight ahea. It was fantastic at night.
