This was awesome. Since I arrived well before the scheduled time, a staff member updated my reservation on his own, and I was able to start the tour right away. It was really cool—not too crowded—and I got some great photos of Chicago. I highly recommend this tour.

The views from the top are spectacular!!! You truly get 360 degree views that include the lake to the skyline. Absolutely breathtaking! This is a must do experience for anyone visiting the city. The elevator ride is smooth and takes only 45 seconds to reach the top floor (94th floor). Would love to do this again on my next visit to Chicago.

The whole process—from buying tickets through the app to our skip-the-line visit to the 360Chicado Observation Deck—went very smoothly, and we didn’t waste a single minute! Even with our packed schedule—since we were attending a medical conference—we still had time left over for this interesting visit with friends and for a drink while taking in the city views!

It's a magical viewpoint. You can see the whole city, and the view to the side is breathtaking. Highly recommended. No lines and super fast!!! Plus, the information is available in English and Spanish.

It was really fast to buy the tickets, even the greeter told us how to save with the tickets. The services, the facilities, and the recommendations were really good.

we had already been in lChicago a couple of nights and had tried to go up. But the visibility was such that the ticket line person advised against it. He showed us a visibility map and suggested we return the next evening around six which we did. There were people taking pictures in several locations. The decorations were beautiful and so was the view. It was a windy night so some things were closed. We wrapped up our evening with a nightcap in the Cloud 360 bar. It was a fantastic ending to our Chicago trip.

    The observation deck is high enough to view the whole city, also close enough to the water/beach to enjoy the beautiful blues.

    Great views , friendly atmosphere and staff
  • A spectacular journey above the windy city

    Bypass the bustling ticket desk line and head straight to 360 Chicago, a 94-story marvel that was once the tallest building in the world outside of New York City. Present your barcoded voucher to security to be scanned and step onto the fastest elevators in North America to ascend 1,000 feet onto the 94th floor. Find yourself overlooking the legendary Michigan Avenue. Feast your eyes on panoramic views of Chicago’s lakefront, and expansive city skyline, and even catch sight of 4 neighboring states from this incredible height.

    Unique perspectives & local flavors

    Take your experience a notch higher at CloudWalk. This extraordinary 3D mural gives you an optical illusion of walking among the clouds, creating a thrilling photo opportunity that surely gets your pulse racing.

Wind down at the Cloud Bar and experience Chicago like a local with neighborhood-inspired cocktails and local brew, Moody Tongue, on tap.
