Combine 360 CHICAGO with other Chicago favorites. Some things are better together.
360 Chicago is a 94th-floor observation deck that boasts some of the best views in the city. Located inside the John Hancock Center on North Michigan Avenue, 360 Chicago ticket holders can ride one of the fastest elevators in the world and enjoy sprawling views over the city and its surrounding area.
360 Chicago is also home to TILT, Chicago's highest moving experience that tilts you over the edge of the building for a thrilling look down!
It all really depends on how mesmerized you are by the incredible view from the 360 Chicago viewing deck. On average, visitors stay anywhere between 45 minutes and 90 minutes. If you've booked 360 Chicago tickets with access to TILT, or if you want to stop for drinks at Bar 94, then make sure to leave a little more time.
TILT is what separates 360 Chicago from other sky-high viewing platforms. Riders are placed against floor-to-ceiling windows and tilted forward into the 1,000-foot chasm between the sky and the ground.
If looking out of the windows on the 94th floor isn't enough of a thrill, then 360 Chicago tickets with a ride on TILT will get your heart pounding! The first attraction of its kind anywhere in the world, TILT provides unique and surreal views as riders lean 30° over Michigan Avenue.
Safely holding up to eight visitors at any one time, TILT rides are available day and night, so you can choose to lean into the skyline at sunset or with the twinkling lights of the city beneath you.
We'll leave it to you to decide which of 360 Chicago and Skydeck Chicago is the better experience – there's room for more than one sky-high observation deck in the city. But, 360 Chicago is noted as being less busy than the Skydeck, which can lead to a quieter experience.
Want to try them both out? Check out the Chicago Skyline Pass, which includes tickets for both attractions, plus a look at the city from the waters of Lake Michigan.
