    I bought tickets on Groupon, which I highly recommend, you definitely save a few dollars. I bought the basic Observation Deck tickets. I wanted to do Tilt 360 but my husband didn't so I didn't want to waste money and thought I would just add it on once I get to the location... WRONG! Sold out (unless I wanted to wait 9:30pm... it was 5pm). No thanks. It was nice - nothing more, nothing less. I was really disappointed I couldn't do Tilt 360. The observation deck does have great views and they have a really nice bar at the top called the 'Cloud Bar'. It is expensive and I was also disappointed I barely saw any merch with Tilt 360 on it. I thought that would be a hit for merchandise. I personally wouldn't go back, but it was okay for what it was. My husband enjoyed it even though he was scared just being at the top of the building.

    Our experience here was great! We came here right after we went on the Tilt. There was no waiting. We saw that the entire room was a 360° view of Chicago filled with tourists taking selfies and view pictures. We immediately jumped into an available spot and started photographing from one side to the next. There is plenty of seating everywhere. The views are breathtaking because you are up on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Bldg. We went during the day and next trip we will go in the evening for the city night lights. There is also some souvenir shopping up here, the Cloud Bar, and restrooms. I'm not sure about the parking situation because we ubered everywhere in Chicago.

    A monumental view of one of the world's great cities. The Hancock Tower is an architectural masterpiece and an iconic destination in the Windy City. The tour is designed to allow the visitors to experience the city's grandeur from above. Having said that, it's also a tourist spot and some of its features are also bothersome. I got the Sip, Tilt and View Ticket and that allowed for a drink at the bar, the views from the observation floor, and the tilt experience as you sit and the floor tilts about 30° outward. The views are jaw dropping. The drinks are good. The Tilt is a fun experience but a "been there, done that" moment. The photographers are like flies on day-old fish. A few less would have improved the quality of the visit. Overall a great experience.

    I loved the views from the 94th floor. They also have a bar. We purchased the tickets in advance that included two drinks. You can sit at the hightop seating and enjoy the views. They have a restroom on the viewing level as well as one on the lower level by the cheesecake factory. If you purchase fast pass the line moves quickly. We went on a holiday around noon time. It wasn't to bad at that time. The views were amazing. So glad we decided to do this. They take pictures upon arrival which is optional to purchase. They also have a gift shop for purchases. Very nice chill atmosphere and it was fun to experience and take plenty of pictures that included the beach as well.

    Gorgeous views.

    Everything about Chicago 360 was absolutely fabulous! The breathtaking panoramic views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan from 1,000 feet up are truly unforgettable. The large windows give a perfect and clear 360 view of the Windy City. Experience: The view of the sunset was breathtaking, the sips (we had a Negroni and a prosecco) were perfect, and the spectacular firework show over Navy Pier and the lights of the city was dreamy! Note: if you want to see the firework show, make sure to book a Wednesday or Saturday experience. Service: The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and eager to help, making it s stunning must experience for anyone wanting to see Chicago from above! see will be back.

    We went on a Sunday and the line was pretty short. We bought CityPass which gives expedited entry (quicker entry to the elevators). It is a quick and smooth ride to the top and some amazing views. The smoke from wildfires were still hanging out but just added to the scene for me. Did not do the Tilt, which is glass you stand in front of and then it tilts outwards. The line was long and an extra fee which you can pay when you get there if want to decide to see if worth it for you.

    360 Chicago offers a sky view of the city. Went here in the evening. Got tickets online less than an hour before the timed entry at 9 pm. When we got there on that Wednesday evening, there was not a line and were not a lot of people. We were allowed to enter ~30 minutes before 9 pm. The lighting at night inside is green and not optimal for taking pictures because of the reflections despite the sky being clear that night. Compared to Skydeck, there is not much to do here. The only things to do here are the Tilt and drink at the bar. Even though the Tilt is very safe, I'd say it's not for the faint of heart. Nevertheless, I would recommend it. It was exhilarating! Pictures/videos are not allowed in the Tilt area but the photographer will take your pictures which will be for sale after. After the Tilt, you can go around and grab snack and/or drink but the pictures you'd get of yourself won't be nice in the evening. The situation may be different if it's daytime. There's also a gift shop but again, it's also dark and not well lit. The comfort room was also not the cleanest. If you had limited time and would have to choose between the two observation decks in Chicago, then go with the Skydeck. Hands down. You'll have better experience there.

    Fairly low visibility - but still got to see a lot of the city!

    Came last week for the free week for Chicago residents and had a great time! Unfortunately we picked one of the lowest visibility days and weren't able to see as far into IL as we were hoping, still a great experience and super cool for residents to be able to check out this attraction and see our city from a different viewpoint! Because we came on a low visibility day at an off-time (mid-day Friday), there were very little crowds and we didn't have to wait or push our way to the glass to get a good view. Super cool get 360 views of the city and point out our work and apartment buildings. All the info on the bottom floor in the walk through "museum" was really neat - I liked the panels with information about the different neighborhoods. I will say if you're going to go, definitely pick a day that is higher visibility - especially if you're going to be paying for tickets!

    Happy birthday

    What a great event I attended here. Chicago's 189th birthday party on the 94th floor Great food , great people and a huge shout out to Ashly Marquez who did a wonderful job. The only sad thing was it was raining out so there was no view of our amazing city. Other than that fantastic. If you haven't visited this great place you must ! Can't wait to my next visit.

    Recently did the 360 Chicago experience and had a mostly great, but slightly mixed, visit. We went on a late Sunday night after reserving tickets online for $35 each. Heads up that pricing is dynamic. I noticed standard tickets were listed at $29 at one point, and prices increase as time slots fill, which already feels steep for a single visit. When we arrived, we learned that admission was free for locals that week, which made the space especially crowded. Thankfully, the entry lines were manageable and the elevator ride to the 94th floor was impressively fast. Be prepared for some ear pressure on the way up. Once at the top, the views were undeniably beautiful. You can circle the entire floor and take in all four directions of the city, spotting landmarks like Navy Pier and Willis Tower, though visibility depends on weather and time of night. The main challenge was the crowd. While there are plenty of areas to take photos, the heavy volume of visitors meant lots of fingerprints and smudges on the glass, which made it difficult to capture clean shots. I also felt there could have been more staff oversight to maintain a comfortable environment, especially given how many employees were present. Overall, it is an iconic Chicago experience worth doing once for the views, but given the price and crowds, it is not something I would personally repeat.

    Continuing alphabet series representing 2021, T is for 360 (Three-sixty) Chicago. I visited Chicago for a few days before Labor Day 2021. On that Tuesday I flew into O'Hare, took the L train to my hotel in downtown to check-in, walked up Michigan Ave, & went straight to John Hancock Tower where 360 Chicago is. A lot of Chicago tourists think to go to the Willis Tower, which is the tallest building in Chicago. But I read that Hancock Tower had much better views. Hancock Tower is still over 1000' tall viewing area. What's another 300' really going to make that much difference anyway? Either way, it's really high up, and it's about double the size of any building in Maryland, where I live, or DC. I ended up getting the view + drink package. I walked around admiring the incredible views of downtown Chicago and the awesome skyline it is as well Lake Michigan and other various views of Chicago. Drink was some fruity, but reasonably strong as I recall and delicious. Incidentally, my friend flew in a day later and on the last morning we were in Chicago before heading up to Milwaukee, he wanted to go to Willis Tower. We walked down there, and he paid more $$$ to that one, but I already got my excellent view from 360 Chicago; he was satisfied, and I ended up walking around the Willis Tower area on my own while he was on his own sky high level.

    Definitely worth going! The views on a day with a high cloud ceiling could not get better. The location is close to the river and the height allows for a fantastic full view of the city and beyond. Going in the evening would be fantastic too but the bartender said it's harder to get pics and close to the windows. We went at a perfect time in my opinion. Late morning, thin crowd during the week days. The staff were pleasant but the photo at the beginning was weird and yielded a strange pic. lol

    Beautiful view of Chicago a top one of the tallest buildings in the city. If there is a line you get to take in a gallery filled with facts about Chicago and its buildings. I suggest getting your tickets ahead of time because the lines can be long. We were lucky enough to not have a wait at all. We took the elevator straight up and immediately had access to the cloud bar and beautiful views of the city. Be warned they take a lot of pictures of you and your guests in order to try to sell them to you them afterwards. We did the tilt which is basically hanging on as the windows went forward. I do not recommend this if you have shoulder pain or are scared of heights . Definitely something to try once if you're in the city.

    Is the sky deck here too? I see it in some reviewers pics

    No. This has the TILT which is very cool. This is in the Hancock building. The sky deck is in Willis Tower. Previously the Sears Tower. Do both!

    Can one enter the signature lounge as long as they are accompanied by an adult? If so, must that adult be strictly a parent?

    We allow all ages at the observation deck. The Signature Lounge is a separate business. As far as we know, minors are not permitted at all, but you’d be better off asking them.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    Review Highlights - 360 Chicago

    If you go, I would definitely recommend including the Tilt in your purchase if you enjoy thrill rides.

Once you check in, you go through a museum-like walkthrough that covers Chicago's history as well as the history of the Sears/Willis Tower. There are also plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures along the way. Once you reach the end of the walkthrough, you head up 103 floors to the Skydeck. As soon as I walked in, I was honestly blown away. Even though the building was once the tallest in the world, it's still such an incredible experience to see the entire city of Chicago from that high up. The skyline is absolutely breathtaking, and you can even see Lake Michigan from the top. It also wasn't too crowded when I went, which made the experience even better. I was able to do the Ledge as well, where you can step out onto the glass and take pictures and videos. You get up to 90 seconds when it's your turn, and you can get back in line if you want to go again. Everything was exactly as described, and I'm so glad I got to visit again for the second time as an adult. I also got my ticket through CityPASS Chicago, and the whole process was super smooth with no hiccups. Definitely one of the highlights of my Chicago trip and a place I'd recommend checking out, especially if it's your first time in the city!

The views of the city are super beautiful and of course we have to get our fun photos from the ledge!

    Visit the birthplace of modern astrophysics!…read more Yerkes Observatory is a historic astronomical research facility that was founded in 1897 by astronomer George Ellery Hale. It's known as the "birthplace of modern astrophysics," and it houses the world's largest refracting telescope, with a 40-inch lens. Fair warning: This isn't a place you can just pop in and visit, like a museum. It's more like a public education center, and I believe you can only visit by booking a tour online. They also offer workshops and put on the occasional festival. During the tour, you can explore the building's beautiful architecture, learn about the history of the observatory, attend a lecture or stargazing event, and visit the out-of-this-world gift shop, full of astronomy-themed souvenirs for all ages. Depending on the type of tour you book, you might even be able to gaze at planets and stars through the telescope. Tours require climbing stairs and sometimes navigating through some tight spaces, so they aren't accessible. Tours cost money, but it's free to walk around the outside of the observatory and explore the arboretum. This is a really cool place to learn about space and the area's history with astrophysics. My group was highly entertained by our tour guide, Walt, so if he is leading your tour, you're in for a treat.
