It’s one of those Chicago tick box attractions I guess, & I did enjoy my visit. It was a clear but quiet day, so a seamless, no queue experience for me. Goes without saying, the views are incredible. I opted for the View & Sip ticket, which encompassed entry & a syrupy cocktail in the naff Cloudbar. I figured after the syrupy cocktail I might psyche myself up to do‘Tilt’, the touristy add on which involves being tipped at an angle via a moveable glass & steel platform, over the side of the building, enabling sick bucket inducing, downward facing views of the city streets 1000ft below. l did, & it was petrifying, but blessedly short. As with these kind of attractions, it’s a factory line, with the usual overpriced cheesy photos & tat shop. Quite a well known wheeze if you want to experience the views but avoid the queues & not pay entry, is to whizz straight up the dedicated elevator to the Signature Lounge, where you can admire the vistas for the price of a syrupy cocktail, or touristy meal!

Great views. Enjoyed our visit. But the tilt should not be billed as a thrill ride. You stand in the window and hold on. It tilts our for a few seconds. Fun experience but not a ride let alone a thrill ride.

As long as you don’t mind waiting, it was definitely worth it! The souvenir shop was awesome and seeing the whole city was amazing! Riding up the 94 floors was so quick, however, you barely feel like you are moving! Our hotel elevator felt faster than this one, how amazing! Our ears did pop a lot though! Overall worth it and would totally recommend!

The view is great, as you might expect. But the "adult sip and see" tickets are absolutely not worth it. Cheap drinks served in a plastic glass, and no seats in an overheated lounged filled with kids. And the wait to get up and down the elevators was like waiting for a ride at Disney. It just wasn't at all like it was advertised. Next time I would just go to the 96th floor Signature lounge to have a cocktail and admire the views. We learned of this from some other travelers we met there. Travel and learn.

An awesome place to be at. Take the elevator up to the 94th floor and you will be greeted to great views of Downtown Chicago and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Go especially at night, the view is much prettier then. My only complaint would be that it can get a bit boring here while you wait to go up to the top. I didn't think too much about this until I also went up the Sears Tower a few days later. The Sears Tower has gone under a complete makeover where there are many photo op stations and interactive exhibits featuring the history of Chicago. If the John Hancock Center did this as well, then my review would be 5 stars. Otherwise this place is well worth the admission price to go up to the 94th floor, even though it is a bit pricey. You won't regret it.

The weather was not great on the day of our visit so visibility was not so good. However, we were still able to see most of Chicago. When you get to the Skydeck you have only 90 seconds to spend on the glass. This includes the time it takes for the official photo. This is very short and doesn't allow for you to take your own photo's with different views.

The most amazing views! The tilt experience was great and I thought, reasonably priced! Staff were nice and queues moved fast. Only thing that stopped it being a 5 was the cost of the photos. You expect to pay a bit more at these things but I felt $30 for one print was excessive. Would definitely recommend when in Chicago!
