The best time to visit is just after opening or after 5 pm. For great sunsets and twinkling nightscape viewing, plan on arriving to the Skydeck 30-45 minutes prior to your sunset time! Go to SunriseSunset for the Chicago sunset calendar.

A picture to remember. Want to take a great picture? Remember, when shooting towards the windows; use the “backlight” function on your camera (if available). Turn off your flash and use a polarizer filter, if you want to see what’s out the window behind your subject. Or easiest of all, have us take the picture. Ask any of our Skydeck team members to take your photos or have our professional photo team take your picture and have it ready for you in a custom folder before you leave. For the enjoyment of all guests, no tripods are allowed. You are more than welcome to bring your monopod.

Skydeck Chicago is child-friendly with family bathrooms located on the lower museum level. The building is also equipped with ramps making it easy to navigate strollers.

Entertain the kids. The excitement can start even before you visit, with our Willis Tower Skydeck Kids Club. Visit the For Kids section for details and a variety of interactive games, quizzes, scavenger hunts and coloring pages to get your little ones excited for their visit. The fun doesn’t stop there, before they even reach the Skydeck they can experience the knee-high attractions created just for them. They can step on interactive digital floor displays that place them on the pitchers mound at Wrigley Field and then visually shoot them 103 floors up above the stadium. There’s something around every corner until they reach the Skydeck where they experience views like no other and if they dare to stand out on The Ledge!

Is the Skydeck accessible to the disabled? Yes, it is. Ramps make wheelchair access easy. Our elevators can easily accommodate wheelchairs and scooters.
