Visit the Skydeck Chicago

"A must-do in Chicago! The exhibits on the Willis Tower’s history are fascinating. You learn that it was the tallest building in the world for 25 years. The glass platform gave us cold sweats, but what a memory! Take your time to appreciate every angle."

"We were there as a family with two children. The guides were very patient. To avoid lines at the ticket counters, we bought our tickets online with a specific time slot. The wind was strong that day, but The Ledge remained open, offering a unique experience above the void."

"The vertigo is immediate on the glass balcony. Watch the weather: I went on a foggy day, which reduced the visual impact. Nevertheless, the 1973 architectural structure remains majestic. Remember to prop your phone against the railing for great photos."

"Access to the 103rd floor is via an ultra-fast elevator, guaranteeing a sensation of flight. The standard ticket is enough if you come on a weekday morning. I was able to admire the Loop district and the nearby Art Institute from this dizzying height. Charming and efficient staff."

"The view is beautiful, but the wait to specifically access The Ledge lasted 30 minutes despite our timed ticket. It’s a bit frustrating after paying nearly €40. Plus, the space is very crowded. The height of 1,353 feet is real, but the experience would be perfect with fewer people."

"A memorable solo experience. I took advantage of the relative silence off-peak hours to contemplate Lake Michigan. The fact that the tower dominated the global skyline for a quarter of a century gives the visit historical weight. The explanatory panels are clear and well-made."

"For seniors like me, general accessibility is okay, but plan for comfortable shoes to reach the glass area. The idea behind The Ledge, born from faces pressed against the windows, is a fun anecdote shared by the guides. A 360-degree panorama absolutely magical on clear days."

"I was worried about the price, but since it was included in my CityPass, it was a real bargain. The descent in the elevator is just as exciting as the ascent. Only disappointment: the ground-floor restaurant was fully booked. The view of the neighboring skyscrapers remains unforgettable, however."

"Absolutely a must-see. The contrast between the solidity of the tower and the apparent fragility of The Ledge is striking. We chose the priority option to skip the queue behind other tourists. At 1,350 feet (412 meters) high, you truly realize the size of Chicago. Thanks for this smooth organization."
