Skydeck Chicago Reviews, Awards, and More

#5 of 793 things to do in Chicago

Willis Tower’s dazzling height is even more breathtaking when experienced from the 103rd-floor windows of the Skydeck observatory and the Ledge, which extends more than four feet from the side of the building, allowing visitors the opportunity to walk out among the clouds at 1,353 feet above the street.

Skydeck offers an unforgettable view of the Windy City from 1,353 feet in the air, but you shouldn’t just take our word for it: Skydeck Chicago’s reviews attest to the unforgettable nature of the experience. Just take a look at what our visitors have said and some of the accolades the experience has earned, then buy your own ticket or contact us with any questions.

While expensive, I loved this experience. I recommend going on a weekday so it’s less crowded. I loved the small exhibit at the entry, the unique elevator experience, and the opportunity to get back in line for photos (90 second limit). All the staff were kind and helpful. They even took my picture since I was traveling alone. I really enjoyed the entire experience and would do again if visiting Chicago in the future!

If you want to get great photos my suggestion is to arrive around 6.30-7pm so you can catch the sunset. If you are in a rush then the expedited entry is your best option, but if that is not the case i strongly recommend going with the standard experience. They have tons of great displays to learn more about Chicago and the building in general that you cannot miss!

I had a great experience visiting Skydeck Chicago! The views from the 103rd floor were absolutely stunning—you can see the entire city and even other states on a clear day. Standing on The Ledge, the glass balcony, was thrilling and a bit scary, but totally worth it. The staff were friendly and the whole place was well-organized. It can get a bit crowded, so I recommend going early. A must-see spot if you’re in Chicago!
Enjoy …

Coming from the 80’s and basically living the Ferris Bueruller’s day Off lifestyle I had to follow their steps on this trip. Plenty of great items to see as you walk to the elevator and standing on a 1.5″ piece of glass is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The staff is great and made the trip enjoyable.

The best option if you’re looking for an amazing view of the city. I loved how the experience was thoughtfully designed from the beginning; with interesting facts about the city and perfect photo spots even before the main attraction. The elevator ride itself is a nice touch of flair, and the window views are incredible. If you get creative, you can capture some really stunning photos. It’s definitely a must if you’re in the city.

It is an exciting experience to see yourself 103 floors above the street level! Also the entire floor gives a 360 degrees view of Chicago… In fact you can also see the state of Indiana across the lake and all the other exciting locations around Chicago like a bird’s eye view. Additionally, before you get to the to for, you also get to experience history and other interesting things of Chicago in the basement.

The Chicago Skydeck is hands down one of the best places for a proposal! I’ve photographed a few engagements here and every single one has been magical. The views are unbeatable and the glass ledge makes for the most unique and memorable photos.

If you let the team know in advance that you’re planning to propose, they offer special tours and can help make the moment extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to pop the question in a truly iconic Chicago location!

Fantastic view! Great birds eye view of the entire city.

If you are sensitive to pressure changes or get vertigo due to heights this probably isn’t for you .
The elevator ascends and descends so quickly you need to pop your ears to relieve the pressure. The building does sway slightly. Some people waiting for the skydeck said they were feeling “motion sickness”.

I have a slight fear of heights. When the attendant had me step out onto the platform to get a picture I did it not thinking about what was happening. I was fine but then when I went to take my own pictures I realized how freaking crazy it was to be standing on a 1.5″ piece of glass out over the city 103 floors below. I had to stake little baby steps to get out there. It was worth it but whoa, what a thrill
