4 /5 Jemlnlx: We were deciding between the 360 Chicago and the Skydeck during our visit to Chicago. We decided on the 360 Chicago because of the skyline views, including the Willis/Sears Tower, from that vantage point.
Admission is about $30 per person...but we did it as part of the CityPass bundle. Both CityPass and GoCity include this attraction if desired.
We arrived at around 2pm for our 2:30 timed admission. (You can arrive within 30 minutes of your admission time) At that time, 2:30pm on a Wednesday, the place was pretty empty. After our tickets were scanned, we walked through a brief scanning area and proceeded to the walkway leading to the elevator to go up. The walkway had some interesting facts about Chicago along the way.
The elevator ride was surprisingly quick up to the 94th floor. On the 94th Floor, there are beautiful views of the city, a snack and drink (including alcoholic drinks) area and a souvenir shop. There is also the TILT area...where, for $10, you can tilt over the side of the building...the angle wasnt very steep...should be okay for most people.
While the views were nice, I think the SkyDeck offers a bit more for the price. Now, the 360 Chicago does allow tripods...so that may come in handy for those photographers who are interested in sunset, night or other long exposure photos.
All staff we encountered were welcoming, friendly and efficient.
Lots of parking lots in the immediate area but they are pricey. We were able to find street parking in the area and pay via the ParkChicago app....the rate in that immediate area was $4.50 per hour with a maximum of 2 hours...which was perfect for our visit.
There is a lot to do and see in the immediate area, particularly along Michigan Avenue, so it may be a good idea to plan this attraction into some others in the area.
