Finding the Skydeck

Skydeck Chicago is on the 103rd floor of Willis Tower in the Loop. Enter on Jackson Boulevard, on the south side of the building.

• By bike: Divvy bike stations are on Franklin Street south of Jackson Boulevard and on Quincy Street east of Franklin.
• By car: the InterPark garage at 211 West Adams Street is open 24 hours a day.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• The Chicago Museum, an interactive exhibit at the start of the visit.
• Ramps and lifts for wheelchairs, scooters and strollers.
• Complimentary wheelchairs, first come, first served.
• Sensory kits and a quiet room on request.

Allow 45 to 60 minutes at the Skydeck, plus time for the Chicago Museum. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Skydeck Chicago describes itself as completely accessible and ADA compliant, with ramps and lifts for strollers, scooters and wheelchairs all the way to The Ledge. Complimentary wheelchairs are available first come, first served, and the exhibits have sensory bypass doors.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask Skydeck staff for a sensory kit, a quiet room or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the view thoughtfully

• Arrive within the 30-minute entry window on your ticket.
• Time on The Ledge is limited: about 60 seconds for parties of three or fewer and 90 seconds for larger parties.
• On busy days, small parties may share The Ledge with another party.
• Follow staff guidance in the queues, the lifts and on the deck.
• Remember that Willis Tower is a working office building.

A little care keeps the Skydeck calm and pleasant for everyone.

Make time for a pause

Catalog, next to the Skydeck, has more than thirteen places to eat and drink, and the Loop around Willis Tower has many more.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Complimentary wheelchairs are available first come, first served.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: enter on Jackson Boulevard and arrive within your 30-minute entry window.
• Watch the light: sunset is a popular time, and peak hours and sunset can make a visit longer.
• Leave space to linger: most visitors spend 45 to 60 minutes on the deck, after 20 to 40 minutes in the Chicago Museum.
