About 360 Chicago Observation Deck
Ride the TILT and lean out over the Magnificent Mile from 1,030 feet up, where Chicago and Lake Michigan stretch out in every direction.
Floor-to-ceiling windows on the 94th floor of the former John Hancock Tower turn the whole city into a living map, from sunlit skyline to the glittering grid after dark.
What you'll see and do - Take in 360-degree views of Chicago and Lake Michigan from one of the city's highest vantage points. - Brave TILT, a moving platform that tips you forward and outward over the streets far below. - Walk the multimedia concourse covering Chicago's history and the architecture of the landmark tower. - Pause at CloudBar, billed as Chicago's highest bar, for craft cocktails, mocktails, and snacks. - Catch seasonal extras like Sky Yoga and prime views of the Navy Pier fireworks.
