Nice Experience!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 - The admission staff and the curators were excellent. Very informative features about the Willis Tower and several other skyscrapers. They take a group pic for you to buy if desired. The view of Chicago is amazing!! You’re on an 103rd floor ledge. It may get a bit scary at first, but the thrill is nice!

Cool experience. Long wait. - While the experience was cool, the long line to wait to get up the elevator was unbearable. It was very hot waiting in line and made us second guess our decision to book. Won’t take the time to do it again.

I didn't love it - The cost of going 90 seconds to take your photo is very high, I think what they want is for you to buy the one they take of you, but it is a very high cost

Bring your own stool - No place to sit. Arthritis and bone spurs make appreciating this attraction very difficult. A place to sit for a few minutes would help alot. For those who need a little break from standing, please bring a wheel chair or portable seat to shorten the standing time.

Terrible experience - It was Just a Rip off!! They just give 90 seconds and only half portion of the ledger!! More over the ledger is in a place from where the down buildings are not visible. Avoid if u can!
