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.

Great views

Really enjoyed visiting Chicago 360. The views from the top were fantastic, stretching right across the city. There’s also the option to buy a TILT ticket if you want an extra thrill—though we skipped it this time. Overall, a great tower with impressive panoramas.

Great. Experience

It was such an amazing experience in general, I had never been in an elevator that gos about 90 floors up in like a minute. The only down side was that it was cloudy when I first booked but the staff was so great that they rescheduled my tickets to the following week without charging me anything.

Awesome view for sunset/fireworks!

My wife and I went up to the 360 Observation Deck on a Wednesday night for our anniversary! We enjoyed the beautiful sunset while having refreshing drinks at the cloud bar. Drinks are pretty pricey but you get an unbeatable view while sipping on your cocktail! At 9:00 the firework show began at Navy Pier and it was very cool to see if from above! This was a perfect way to spend a romantic evening/night!

Stunning views, relax and enjoy as long as you like

$30 to go to the top of a building for a great view is kind of a lot to spend--especially when you are a family of four--but it was a pretty stunning view, and we could stay up there as long as we liked. We paid an extra $15 at the location for each of our two teenage kids to ride the Tilt, and they loved it--one of their favorite experiences during our family trip to Chicago.

Operator response
