About Willis Tower Skydeck
- Sight
The Willis Tower Skydeck in Chicago stands as one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States, offering visitors an unparalleled panoramic view from above. Located on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, it is the highest public observation deck in the country. The atmosphere is filled with awe and adventure, especially when stepping onto The Ledge—a glass-box balcony that extends four feet from the building, creating the sensation of hovering 1,353 feet above the ground.
The experience includes interactive exhibits showcasing Chicago's history and visionaries, along with multilingual computer kiosks for international travelers. On clear days, visitors can see up to four states: Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana. The Skydeck is fully wheelchair accessible and features souvenir shops and a café offering local specialties. A visit here is essential for anyone eager to experience Chicago's unique architecture and breathtaking skyline views from one of the world's most famous observation decks.
