Description

The best views of Chicago can be yours at 360 Chicago Observation Deck! Perched 94 stories above the Windy City in the former John Hancock Building, 360 Chicago provides commanding views of Lake Michigan and Chicago’s towering skyscrapers. Located in the heart of downtown on Michigan Avenue, the observatory is steps away from other top Chicago attractions. It will be the high point (literally) of your Chicago trip! Upgrade to the Sip and View ticket, which includes one drink at the newly renovated CloudBar. The Sip menu includes a rotating selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Once onsite, you can purchase tickets to TILT, a thrill ride that offers visitors unique, downward facing views from 1,030 feet. You may also choose to upgrade your Sip and View ticket from the Sip Menu to the Elevated Menu for an additional $8. *TILT not included in purchase

A good experience overall, but bad customer service

I will say that I love the view. I liked the atmosphere, but I did not like the customer service. I received upstairs at the Bar restaurant area a very rude waiter. I had to even pull in a manager. The manager did say that they would give me two free tickets for anytime I ever came back back, but I never received them sadly I will say the staff downstairs was very nice.

Waste of money

The people in there were very rude. I bought some $60 pictures that came out horribly. I would never do it again.

Operator response

In the Clouds…

The views are incredible! You can see the city below you perfectly. The Tilt looked cool as well but we didn’t try it because we hung out at the CloudBar & relaxed with a couple of cocktails. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Thanks a lot for the review of 360 CHICAGO. We really appreciate the positive feedback. Hope you can make a return visit in the near future!
