A Date Night to Remember at Skydeck Chicago

With unobstructed views of the Chicagos skyline, Lake Michigan, and four states from 1,353 feet above Wacker Drive and the Chicago River, dining at Skydeck Chicago is for those who want to do something more memorable than “dinner and a movie.” It’s a truly unique experience, making it one of the best date night restaurants Chicago has to offer—and one of the city’s best kissing spots!

Skydeck can make your date one to remember, whether you’re looking to spend the entire evening with us or just visiting along the way. Thanks to our central  location in the Loop, it’s easy to transition from breakfast at Skydeck Chicago to a stroll through Millennium Park, or to incorporate a visit to The Ledge into your evening. 

Looking for nearby date night restaurants in Chicago? There are plenty of great dining options nearby, including Chicago-style pizza at Giordano’s right across the street, authentic Mediterranean cuisine in nearby Greektown, or The Metropolitan Club in Willis Tower. We also offer both breakfast and dinner at Skydeck, and we would be delighted to help you create the perfect date any time of day!

Love is in the Air

Thank you for your interest in our special Skydeck date night!

Your evening will begin at the Willis Tower’s Franklin Street entrance where you will meet one of our Skydeck Memory Makers who will escort you to our stunning private event space on the 99th floor.

Once on the 99th floor, two chilled 8-ounce, bottles of Sparkling Moet champagne or Martinelli’s sparkling cider and signature Chicago Fannie May chocolates will be waiting for you. You will be treated to sensational, 360-degree views spanning up to four states as you leisurely walk this semi-private floor for up to 30 minutes.

Our Skydeck Memory Maker will then escort you to the 103rd floor where you will receive VIP access to Skydeck’s iconic Ledge, glass floor balconies outside of the world-renowned Willis Tower. Our photography team will capture your Ledge photos with our ceiling mounted camera and your photo will be ready for pick up at the end of your visit.  

After your time at the Skydeck, you will have the option to continue your memorable experience by exploring our new lower-level museum that celebrates the unique personality, history, neighborhoods, and sites of Chicago.

The price for a date night package is $189 per couple. Reservations can take place daily and blackout dates and times may apply.
