Discount tickets 360 Chicago – What is it?
360 Chicago is the observation deck located on the 94th floor of the 875 N. Michigan (John Hancock Center).
2021
360 Chicago used to offer a discount for Chicago residents but that has been discontinued.
What’s up there?
360 CHICAGO offers “breathtaking views of the city and Lake Michigan from over 1,000 feet above the Magnificent Mile”. Enjoy a cocktail or coffee at the Architect’s Corner – Café and Bar, check out interactive panoramic touchscreens in seven languages or pay extra and experience Tilt. Tilt extends out and over Michigan Ave. at a 30 degree angle. Video here.
Discount Admission to 360 CHICAGO.
Boozing with a view Closed
I always tell people (non-Chicago residents) to just skip the observation deck and spend the admission fee on a cocktail at the lounge on the 96th floor. A glass of wine, mixed drink etc. will run you around $17 plus tax and tip so around $22 each. Like all boozing with a view it isn’t cheap. You could drink coffee or tea.
Look up if you see this don’t go up there!
Beware of the weather. If you’re from out-of town buy at the last minute.
You never want to buy tickets in advance because the weather is unpredictable and when you get up there you may only be able to see clouds. Tickets are non-refundable. You should buy your tickets at the last minute. Like when you’re standing in front of the building and look up and see it’s not shrouded in clouds. You may also want to go into the building first and see how long the lines are. I’ve seen insanely long lines in summer.
Go to the back of the gift shop next to the ticket sales area – This may be closed!
In the back of the gift shop is an opening to a small exhibit with recordings discussing Chicago neighborhoods. If you’re an architecture geek wander through there and you’ll discover an exposed cross brace. I’m not sure if this is a mock up or a real structural element of the building.
