The Willis Tower experience was a experience that I had wanted to enjoy for quite a long time. The views were awesome. The sky deck was fun and exciting. The did think the cost was quite costly. The only other negative comment would be the amount of people the attraction packs into one elevator. It was suffocating. Everyone had to... More

How could you visit Chicago and not go to the top of the tallest building in America? The Skydeck was pretty cool, with sky boxes that went out of the building so that you could look down and see the ground through the glass floor. I was too scared to go out on one but lots of people did and... More

The lines are long and it is expensive, but once up on the top of Chicago the views are tremendous. I especially enjoyed the view of the Northeast of The Loop and Lake Michigan - the close expanse of modern buildings, with a few historic ones in the mix. As someone interested in railroad history, I very much enjoyed picking... More

This is the old Sears Tower Building that has been sold and re-named Willis Tower. A good plan of action for getting to the top on busy days is to either stand in line for the $18 fare or get in the express line for $40 and get to the top in just 3-5 minutes wait. We were lucky and... More

It is billed as the tallest tower in the western hemisphere and it doesn’t disappoint. The view from the top is simply stunning. You get a great view of the city centre and you are also able to see the southern lake shore line that includes the Museum campus area. In the observatory there is the infamous Skybox Where you...

Arriving at the 103rd floor of the "Sears Tower" (sorry, I remember it as such) brought back heartfelt memories of all the times spent at NYC's lavish World Trade Center's 106th floor "Windows on the World" restaurant with its breathtaking views of the city. Regrettably, I never snapped any photos of those unforgettable sights. Nothing taken for granted anymore. I... More

Get a City Pass to skip the humungous line. Good view at top, you can feel the building sway in the wind! Worth a visit.

We attempt to go up at noon, but the line was long. We decided to come back after Brunch. So we came back there around 5pm, that was much better. We follow the line get up to 103rd Floor. Beautiful view that we can appreciate the city of downtown Chicago. Good for photo taken, and capture sunset as well.

I wanted to miss the lines so I showed up around 10am on a Saturday morning in early May. I rode the train into Chicago and had a very short walk between Union Station and the Willis Tower. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived - there were no lines! I was able to get to the top quickly with... More
