TILT outward over 1,000 feet above The Magnificent Mile!TILT is the first of its kind in the world. Safely holds up to 8 visitors at a time. Extends out and over The Magnificent Mile ® and Chicago's famous skyline. Offers visitors unique, downward facing views from 1,030 feet.
TILT PricingTILT costs $7 per person and tickets do not include admission to the observation deck.

The Observation Deck at 360 Chicago is 94 stories high, and Willis Tower is 103 stories high. It's a difference of roughly 300 feet, but trust us when we say there is not much of a difference when you're up that high.
360 Chicago isn't just a magnificent view of the city; it's also a celebration of Chicago history. Located on the ground floor of the John Hancock building, the Chicago Multimedia Exhibit takes you a full 360 degrees through the city's history, culture and architecture with interactive touch screens.
The building was completed in 1969. Including its two antennas, the John Hancock Center has a height of 1,500 feet (457.2 m), making it the fourth highest building in Chicago and the thirty-third tallest building in the world when measured to pinnacle height.
THE 360 CHICAGO EXPERIENCEThe observation deck is the home of TILT – Chicago's highest thrill ride – and BAR 94, 360 CHICAGO's own modern bar and café, where you can relax, sip on a locally crafted beer or cocktail, and enjoy the best views in the city.
After 18 years, Sears Roebuck and Company sold the tower and moved out of the building. In 2009 the building was renamed Willis Tower after the Willis Group Holdings, the global insurance broker who calls the Tower its Midwest home. Willis Tower was purchased by Blackstone in 2015 for $1.3 billion.
The world's current tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, soars 2,716 into the sky, and more and more skyscrapers across Asia and the Middle East are rising each year. Eight of the top 15 tallest buildings are in China.
Your stay at the top can easily be done in 2 hours, but your total time will depend on the wait in line.
Our line is usually less than 20 minutes and rarely exceeds 45 minutes (that would be on a busy summer weekend). You can spend as long as you want on the floor until we close at 11:00 PM.
Final Results: 360 Chicago wins!The Skydeck at the Willis Tower is iconic in Chicago, which means it's also more expensive and will have longer lines. So, if you want a great view but don't want to wait for it, go to the 360 Chicago. (Or, you can always do what I did, and visit both!
