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!

Felt like I was in line at Disney

Most of our time was spent in line: a line to get up to the floor, a line to get your drink, and a line to get out. There was a line for Tilt that I couldn't stand in because the line to leave was starting to wrap around. I believe there are usually two elevators to take you up to the space, but only one was working. The team started taking us up using the freight elevator. The tickets weren't inexpensive, so the experience we had was not worth the price of entry. On a good day, it may have been a nice thing to do.

Operator response

Hello Danita, thanks a lot for the feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve our attraction. We apologize for the long wait times. Due to one elevator being out of service, the lines at the observation deck were longer than normal. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

This was the best experience I’ve ever had. The bartender was exceptional, I wish I got his name but he was so patient with everyone and doing a wonderful job making drinks they were delicious. I would definitely recommend a 10/10.

Creation Of Hatred

This was the WORST experience I have ever had. The website says it is on floor 84, I go to 84 and there are just office chairs and people in suits, I ask if I can get a cocktail and they said there were none there. I started to get mad and said I payed $220 to be there, they did not care, they started pressing me to get out. I ended up leaving with $220 drained from my account.

Operator response

Stunning sunset view with the beautiful Cloud bar, but the drinks included in the ticket are terrible basically just the mix of ice and water, no taste at all.

Go early for Sunset View

Thought with the Deck & Sip View ticket we would have access to a limited area. That is not the case. Made 730pm reservations for sunset view. Arrived on time and all the viewing area was already taken. So no real benefit for the drink package. Otherwise we enjoyed the view.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the views during your visit. We also appreciate your comments regarding the Sip & View ticket and your sunset reservation experience. Seating availability during peak sunset times can vary based on guest flow, and we understand how that impacted your expectations for the experience. Your feedback is helpful and will be shared with our team as we continue to review and improve the guest experience.

Sit & sip with a view

Nice views. Give yourself 10 + min to go through the photo booth, the history and any line. Record your step counts. For $44, an adult beverage and seat with a view. We cane got a T-shirt and left.

We definitely enjoyed the experience Customers just need to know that you’re charged to go to the bar and look at the view and to do the tilt is extra so make sure to purchase the correct ticket entrance. In case someone is scared of heights, the tilting ride might be a little too much for them. The view is amazing though.

Operator response

Much fun! Definitely should go!

Wow what a great experience. Great price for the experience! I love the views! Wish they had the panoramic elevator but it’s okay. They have the whole view point of Chicago upstairs! Also you can purchase a ticket for sip and view and that is what I go! You basically get one free drink which is great considering prices. You can also have lunch or small dinner with friends and enjoy the view! You can take professional pictures and get a bundle with the family for $55 or you can get a single photo for $35. I’d recommend going in the day if you want to take pictures because it’s a clearer perspective for the camera man. I honestly feel some of them could take better pictures though. Bring at least $25-40 for parking garage if you want to use the parking they have!
