Skydeck Chicago and Ledge Virtual Tour in Willis Tower (Sears Tower)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Visiting Skydeck Chicago and going out on the Ledge is a top attraction when you visit the Second City. Located in Willis Tower (Sears Tower to local Chicagoans), which is the 3rd highest building in the United States, the Skydeck Chicago experience first takes you through an exhibit of Chicago's stunning architecture, history and culture before taking you up an elevator to the 103rd floor to the highest observation deck in the United States where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city. If you're feeling especially brave and wanted to see what standing 1,353 feet in the air was like, you can head out on the Ledge, two triple-paned glass balconies that extend 4.3 feet from the edge of the tower. Just be mindful of the Windy City's sometimes intemperate climate where you may be enjoying sunny skies one minute and then rain, fog or cloudy skies five minutes later. Admission is $35 for adults, $26 for children ages 3 to 11 and is free for children under 3 years old. If you don't want to wait during busier times, they sell an expedited ticket for $55 to go faster.

Let us know if you thought Magellan would go out on the ledge. If you've seen this video - ua-cam.com/video/1WugC2K7gUA/v-deo.html - you'll probably already know the answer.
“The highest restrooms in the Western Hemisphere!” 😂
1 or 2 😂
🤣
"They've cracked once or twice before"...Now that's pretty cool, terrifying, but cool 😜
Yeah, it doesn't make me feel better, that's for sure!
@@MagellanandGreyhound 😬
Called Chicago home for some time while working for the airlines. The Skydeck is cool and offer some incredible views! Not sure if we could stand on that ledge! 😮
It’s our second home. My second favorite city in the US. 😊 A big video is coming eventually
When we first started traveling we moved to visit the sky decks in every country. Then Covid happened. Can’t wait for the to start opening up. Very informative video 👍🏻
It's so hard to explain how awesome it is to see an entire city on high. Have you been to One World Observatory yet? That's our new favorite over Empire and Top of the Rock.
It’s even better at night!
I bet! We've been to several NYC ones at night/sunset. It''s so awesome
Looks like y'all had the place all to yourself. Quite the extensive exhibit (s)!
First up! But there were other people. It was a weekday and early
@@MagellanandGreyhound timing is everything 😜
@@MagellanandGreyhound how early did you go as in time? I will be planning a trip soon and am an early bird. Thanks for the video!
@@MsLayila I think it's 9am? But that was during the pandemic restrictions. It used to be 8am all the other years we went. That said, if you get a 9am ticket, you can show up earlier (like we did) and they let us up a little earlier. Regardless, the later you go, the more people who may be already up there, and once the timed entry potentially ends, it's just lines and you get up there when you get up there. No thanks! Early is the best!
Wow, how cool is that...I didn't realize it was quite as high as it is! Talk about living life on the edge...I mean ledge! Not sure I'd try that...but I would look down anyway... :-)
No looking down for me! That's what the camera is for to look at later! 😂😂😂
I love this place
Us too! (Except for the going out on the Ledge part … 😆)
No
😂
Uh....cool video, but couldn't figure out why my stomach was getting queasy! Oh, now I remember...Ima chickensh*t! No way...no how. 🤮
Haha I understand. I really do
One of us is from Chicago and we have still never done this! HAHAHAHAHA. Loved that you took us on this virtual tour!! So nice that you guys went to SkyDeck and got a lovely view of the city! Wedee is actually afraid of heights so this is the best! Wow! It was so clear for you guys too! Seems like you had the whole experience just for you guys! NO SELFIES except of your feet! HAHA.
Isn't it funny how you never do the things where you live? And yes, third time's a charm. We've never had clearer weather. We were mostly by ourselves, since we were first in line first thing in the morning LOL
I went on the ledge a long time ago with some friends. It was absolutely amazing to see the city from that high! The views were breathtaking
Being up so high makes me uneasy, but the views are worth it!
She will go out on the deck.
Yes, she will. Looking down, looking up, hanging off cliffs, jumping off waterfalls. Me? Nope. Takes divine intervention. 😂
Just wow!!! That’s a reason to travel there guys!!! Looks like it worths....was it expensive?
It could have been worse. NYC is much worse lol
Thanks for the great tour. I traveled with you guys the entire time! Thanks for the great narration! I visited this sky-deck back in 2015 and I was amazed by the architecture! The views are stunning! Have a great day!
Thanks! We went in June 2015, 2016 and just a few weeks ago. It’s always a fun experience.
It is funny when you say you have never looked down. I probably would not look down either. 😬
That’s why cameras exist. To watch later. It’s too terrifying lol
As someone who has lived in chicago his whole life, I dont see myself ever going up to the skydeck lol too damn scary for me
I’m just not sure what the thrill is in artificially hanging over certain death - this is what I tell myself when I do these things 😝
i love the view. cute intro you have. new friend here!
Thank you so much! We think our intro is snazzy. 😂
Thats soo cool. I would be scared as hell. My wife said she wont do it so if she dont go with....I dont think im doing it either. Damn sure aint doing it by myself. lol
It’s so weird. You’re inside and yet there’s this overwhelming terror lol. I’ve been atop the Empire State, Top of the Rock, and I’m fine. This? I’m just mumbling why over and over. Hopefully she changes her mind. Still great views
@@MagellanandGreyhound heights are so not our thing. We try to add adventurous stuff on our vacations but we only go so far. Great adventures guys and happy trails 🤙🏽
@@mjohnson1042 I understand that 200%. As a perpetual fear seeker, afraid of heights person, you will never not be afraid of certain things, but you can train yourself in a way to deal with it. Try smaller heights, get used to it, then work on to the bigger stuff. Our minds are ripe for learning :) Happy adventuring to you as well!
The best skyscraper in America.
Been to dozens, not going to argue. Pretty great skyscraper!
