The views are obviously amazing! However, the first day we went we were about to buy tickets when one of the workers warned us of the limited view and told us the next morning would be better. This worked out tremendously well. The historical experience on the way to the elevator was great too. Just a wonderful overall experience.

My experience at Skydeck Chicago was excellent. The views of the city were incredible, especially from the Glass Ledge, which was thrilling and fun. Everything was well managed, and the staff was helpful and professional. It was a memorable experience and one of the highlights of my trip.

    An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience Visiting the Skydeck was one of the most impressive experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment you walk in, everything is perfectly organized and the entire experience is exciting. The history, the views, and the overall atmosphere make every minute worth it. The most impressive part, without a doubt, is The Ledge. Standing on the glass floor and seeing the city beneath your feet is an incredible mix of adrenaline and awe—something words can’t fully describe. The panoramic views are absolutely stunning, especially on a clear day. The staff is friendly, the place is clean and well maintained, and everything is designed so you can fully enjoy the experience and take amazing photos. It’s a truly unique attraction that I would recommend 100%, whether you’re visiting the city for the first time or coming back again. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it. A must-see experience! 🌆✨

    I loved this experience! I went alone and all of the employees were super kind and welcoming. I haven't been to the skydeck in over 10 years so it was great to go back and see the amazing views of Chicago!!
