The line was a bit long but i met nice people from around the world during the line. Once i got up there, the view was soooo nice. You could see the water, the people look like ants, the clouds, the planes. Everything was so nice. I can't wait to go back. more

We enjoyed the views from the top - when we eventually got there - though the sun was almost set when we did get there which was pretty disappointing. Plus there were so many people up there that we could not readily see out and were bustled by impatient tourists when we did get to a window. Our experience was... more

My teenage son and I went in June 2009 before the viewing deck was open and it was still the Sear Tower. We enjoyed the sites from above. We did not get there as early as we would have liked. We got there at about 9:30 a.m. We waited for about an hour. The movie was interesting while we waited,... more

I live about 90 miles west of Chicago and go into the city about every-other month or so, usually for a Cubs game. I hadn't been to the tower since I was... more

We went early (9:30am) Friday, Sept 18. We were shocked as there was NO line. Walked straight to the ticket booth ($14.95), straight to the movie, straight to the elevator and straight up! Views are amazing and then you turn the corner and see "The Ledge". These glass boxes are so cool. While your heart skips a beat on the... more

...but I've learned my lesson to check TripAdvisor before visiting ANY tourist attraction. I figured "it's the Sears Tower... you go in, you go up, you look around, you come down." BOY was I ever wrong! I swear, before I visit anywhere, part of my preparation is coming here to read reviews, just so I know what to expect, good... more
