On the 94th floor of 875 N Michigan Avenue, 360 CHICAGO looks out over downtown, the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan from more than 1,000 feet up. The wide view is the main reason to visit: on a clear day, you can pick out the shoreline, city landmarks and, according to the supplied details, neighboring states. TILT adds a forward-leaning view through windows that tip outward. For a slower stop, settle in at CloudBar with a drink or snack and watch the light change over the city.
Views from the 94th floor
360 CHICAGO sits on the 94th floor of 875 N Michigan Avenue, the building formerly known as the John Hancock Center. The observation deck is more than 1,000 feet above street level, with views across downtown Chicago, the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan.
The lake gives the outlook a broad sweep beyond the city buildings. On clear days, the supplied information says you may see neighboring states. From the deck, look for the shoreline, the river and the city’s tall buildings. Displays around the observatory provide information about Chicago landmarks, architecture and neighborhoods; audio commentary is also available, including during the elevator ride.
TILT and CloudBar
TILT is a moving platform that tips visitors outward from the building, creating a downward-facing view over the city. It is an optional extra, so you can spend your visit on the observation deck without taking the ride. The experience is not for everyone, and the ride’s photos are sold separately.
CloudBar gives you a place to pause with a drink or snack while looking out over the skyline and lake. The bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Some cocktails take inspiration from Chicago neighborhoods, and some are served in tilted glasses that nod to TILT.
Planning your visit
A clear afternoon that stretches into sunset lets you see the city in daylight and watch the skyline change as evening comes on. Weekdays can be less crowded than busier periods. Booking online ahead of time can help you plan around a preferred time slot.
The observation deck is on the 94th floor, while the building’s Signature Lounge is on the 96th floor. One supplied travel excerpt says the lounge’s view is available with a drink purchase, but its prices and details may change. Check the venue’s website for current ticket and attraction information before you go.
