360 Chicago highlights

When you take in the 360 Chicago experience, you'll be able to see for miles from 1,000 feet above the city's Magnificent Mile. When you're on the observation deck, you can visit Bar 94 to get a speciality cocktail or a locally brewed beer.

In addition to the bar, you'll find a thrilling attraction on the observation deck called TILT. You'll stand in front of a window taller than you are and grab onto a vertical railing on each side. The platform will then tilt downward offering unique views of the city's iconic skyline.
