We went on a sunny Sunday at 3pm. Lines are not too long for general admission. I was really surprised as to how much history of the city of Chicago they show you before getting to the elevator that takes you to the Skydeck. Once you get to the skydeck floor you have a 360 view and plenty of angles to take photos then get your self in line for the ledge photos you have 90 seconds for your awesome poses once the time is up you get kicked out. But no worries if you need additional time and additional photos your more than welcome to get back in line for the ledge photos which wasnt too long in the first place.

The Skydeck at Willis Tower was an unforgettable experience. The views over Chicago are absolutely incredible, and stepping out onto The Ledge is both thrilling and a little nerve-racking! It’s a fantastic way to see the city from a completely different perspective. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Chicago

Very simple to get tickets. Went to see the SkyDeck at Willis Tower in Chicago. Bought my ticket on Headout to have a ticket in advance. It was accepted easily. Had an absolutely great time learning more Chicago history and being at the top of the building seeing the great city of Chicago!

Our visit to the Skydeck was a very beautiful and unforgettable experience. 🏙️✨ We loved the interactive museum, especially because it's an activity that both kids and adults enjoy, making the wait much more entertaining. Plus, we learned a lot about the building's history and discovered some very interesting facts about the elevator. I was so surprised to learn how fast it goes up and down! 😮 And when we finally got to the top, the view was stunning. At times it felt like we were among the clouds, and then above them. ☁️✨ When the sky cleared, we could see all of Chicago's buildings from above, and they looked tiny. It was definitely an experience we really enjoyed as a family and one I would highly recommend when visiting Chicago. ❤️

    A wonderful place with a beautiful view of the whole city. It was even more fantastic because we went at the end of the day with an orange sky and the entire city lit up, which made the experience even better and truly enchanting.
