360 CHICAGO OBSERVATION DECK (2024) All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Photos) (2024)

We enjoyed our visit at twighlight. As the lights came on, the view changed completely. Since you can stay on the observation level as long as you want, we lingered for a couple of hours enjoying the views. We also encountered no lines going up or down by arriving late in the day. I would make sure the weather is relatively clear, with no fog or mist before making the trip to the top. I am afraid of heights, but had no problems since the observation level is basically the whole floor of a building and I could stand as close or far away from the windows as I needed to.

There was a short line and very friendly staff. The scenery at the top was beautiful. The tilt was under maintenance so I need to come back when it's fixed.

You can't put a price tag on the beauty... It's amazing! That experience is incomparable! But having only 1 dedicated elevator and one shared with restaurant - well that's just crazy w the number of people who travel thru

Also the tilt was not working when we went ;( bummer

Visited here many times before and every time it is just amazing. Had a great time and kids loved it. Top of the world views!!!!

Good place to visit but be sure that it is not in the sea side. You Van not see every thing. You must visit at night as well.

A lovely view of Chicago!! Not as crowded and popular as Skydeck, which was kinda nice. Tilt wasn't working but that was fine...do this and skydeck if you can. While you're on 360, grab something to drink and just sit and relax and enjoy the lovely views :)

The elevator was very quick ride up and the view is beautiful. Dislike was that the Tilt was closed and the windows were dirty, which kinda defeats the purpose of seeing out.

360 Chicago is another name for the 94th floor of the John Hanco*ck building. Tickets to take in the view were $19 but for $2 more a person is able to make two trips up within a 48 hour period. I "splurged," deciding a trip up to the top during the daytime and another as the lights started to come on would be well worth it. I was not disappointed. From the 94th floor you are able to see all of Chicago, hence the name - 360 Chicago. Interactive screens allow visitors to zoom in on particular buildings and learn more about them. A wonderful video takes people behind the scenes - the mechanics of the building, interviews with some people who live there, information about the restaurant, etc. By watching the video, I learned that there was a section where the windows were replaced by screens, allowing visitors to feel and hear downtown Chicago. (It's right next to the Tilt activity.) That was really a wonderful experience and one that I believe many people miss because they don't know it's there. In case you are wondering, there are bathrooms, refreshments, and a gift shop as well.

This is a must see attraction. Beautiful views of the city from all angles. I am afraid of heights, but you don't need to get close to the windows for great views. Enter from the lower level on the west side of the John Hanco*ck building.

I think that this attraction is definitely worth checking out if you're like me and enjoy seeing the best view of the city you're visiting. The Tilt attraction was under construction, which was a big disappointment, but I was happy I got to really see every angle of Chicago, and have a beer as well.
