Skydeck Chicago and Ledge Virtual Tour in Willis Tower (Sears Tower)

Visiting Skydeck Chicago and going out on the Ledge is a top attraction when you visit the Second City. Located in Willis Tower (Sears Tower to local Chicagoans), which is the 3rd highest building in the United States, the Skydeck Chicago experience first takes you through an exhibit of Chicago's stunning architecture, history and culture before taking you up an elevator to the 103rd floor to the highest observation deck in the United States where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city. If you're feeling especially brave and wanted to see what standing 1,353 feet in the air was like, you can head out on the Ledge, two triple-paned glass balconies that extend 4.3 feet from the edge of the tower. Just be mindful of the Windy City's sometimes intemperate climate where you may be enjoying sunny skies one minute and then rain, fog or cloudy skies five minutes later. Admission is $35 for adults, $26 for children ages 3 to 11 and is free for children under 3 years old. If you don't want to wait during busier times, they sell an expedited ticket for $55 to go faster.

I went on the ledge a long time ago with some friends. It was absolutely amazing to see the city from that high! The views were breathtaking

Thanks for the great tour. I traveled with you guys the entire time! Thanks for the great narration! I visited this sky-deck back in 2015 and I was amazed by the architecture! The views are stunning! Have a great day!

When we first started traveling we moved to visit the sky decks in every country. Then Covid happened. Can’t wait for the to start opening up. Very informative video 👍🏻
