875 North Michigan Avenue

This experience was absolutely incredible. 10/10 and worth the money to go up. The views of the city and Lake Michigan are completely unmatched. I paid a little bit extra for the sip option and it was worth it as cocktails up top are a bit pricier. Would definitely recommend this over the Sears Tower.

875 North Michigan Avenue, formerly known as the John Hancock Center, is one of Chicago’s most recognizable skyscrapers and a true architectural masterpiece. Its sleek black design and distinctive X-shaped exterior make it stand out beautifully against the city skyline. Inside, you’ll find a mix of offices, residences, restaurants, and the famous 360 Chicago Observation Deck on the 94th floor, which offers one of the best views in the city. The building also houses the Signature Room and Lounge, where you can enjoy a meal or drink with an incredible panoramic view — especially stunning at sunset. The lobby area is elegant and well maintained, and the elevators are fast and efficient. Even just standing outside and looking up gives you a sense of how grand this structure really is. It’s conveniently located along the Magnificent Mile, surrounded by great shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. Whether you’re visiting for the view, the dining, or simply to admire its design, 875 North Michigan Avenue remains one of Chicago’s most iconic and unforgettable landmarks.

We visited this building and went for the sip and tilt ticket. You get a time allocation to enter the tilt window which moves to roughly 45 degrees giving an excellent view down to the ground. With the sip ticket you also get a drink and you are allowed to keep the plastic glass. This place is worth a visit for the views. Make sure it is a clear day though.

Fantastic panoramic views of Chicago and Lake Michigan from the 94th floor. The TILT experience offers a thrilling perspective, tilting you outward over the city. There’s also a bar to enjoy a drink while taking in the sights. It can get crowded, especially during peak times, so consider visiting early. Overall, a must-see for visitors to Chicago!

Great skyline views! Loved the views of the city and the lake. Elevator ride up is quick too. Also, the best observation tower to get pics of the Sears Tower in the skyline. We went on a Sunday morning in the height of summer and there was no wait.

360 CHICAGO offers breathtaking views of the city skyline, Lake Michigan, and even neighboring states on clear days. Located on the 94th floor of the former John Hancock Center, it’s a must-do for visitors wanting a bird’s-eye view of Chicago. The TILT experience adds an extra thrill, tilting you outward over the city—fun for adrenaline seekers! The observation deck is modern and has a bar, making it a great spot to relax and take in the scenery. It’s a bit pricey, especially if you add TILT, but the views are totally worth it—especially at sunset. Pro tip: visit on a weekday or earlier in the day to avoid crowds.

Hancock center is definitely worth visiting in Chicago. They have the 360, cloud bar and Tilt. 360 is definitely worth it and the views are fantastic and must visit. Looking at the water view along with the tall buildings is a thing of beauty. Navy pier view was fantastic. Dont miss out on this one !!

An absolute must visit for anyone visiting Chicago. Evening hours are cheaper but I think daytime gives best views through the glass especially in snow cold winter days. Buy your tickets online if you can.
