Willis Tower Skydeck Tickets: The 7 Best Options

1.Willis Tower Skydeck and The Ledge Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,350 reviews · 45 min · from $42Our pick

Reserve a timed visit to Willis Tower’s 103rd-floor Skydeck, walk through Chicago-themed exhibits, watch a short film, and step onto The Ledge, a glass balcony extending 4.3 feet beyond the tower. The visit lasts about 45 minutes and includes the Skydeck app’s free viewfinder.

“We enjoyed our whole visit. Interesting Chicago Experience Museum including a Chicago train. Great views from the Sky deck. Going on the The Ledge was amazing. Only a short queue and although only have 90 seconds you can rejoin the queue and go in as many times as you like. We had plenty of time to take some great photos. No queues for lifts ( unlike New York) but this maybe different in high season. Recommend.”

Remplace par 1 visite sur le lac non programmé fait en dernier minute et sur 1 créneau horaire en dehors du créneau horaire prévu. Des allés retours pour pallier cette incompétence et cette désorganisation qui nous ont fait perdre notre soirée.”

“LONG REVIEW!! I was skeptical for the cost because typically I would build and execute the plan myself but the convenience of someone who knows the city driving you around, then picking you up is worth the cost alone! The price point already paid for itslef by saving you time and money from walking and/or ride sharing. Now, the bonus you ask! 💯 Danny, he knows the city, the routes, the history, the Van he drives is NICE! Total style. I was flying solo on this adventure and I can't boast how nice it was to have Danny sharing my excitement of what I saw, taking my pics for me,…”
