The 108-story Sears Tower has recently had its name changed, and it is now known as the Willis Tower. Chicago residents are not alone in struggling to remember the name change, and I have a feeling that it may take a generation or so before the new name sticks.
Chicago's Sears Tower has been renamed the Willis Tower
Regardless of what it’s called, you can still ride of to the Skydeck, the building’s observation deck. Located on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower, is is one of two popular observation decks in Chicago. (The other is the Hancock Building, as there is great debate over which one is the best to visit.) On a clear day, you can see four states – Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. A new feature of the observation deck, opened just a couple of weeks ago, are glass balconies, that allow visitors to look down onto Wacker Drive.
The Willis Tower is located at 233 South Wacker Drive in Chicago, although the visitors entrance is on the south side of the building along Jackson Boulevard. It is open 365 days a year, closing only for high winds and for the occasional private event. April – September hours are 9 am–10 pm, and October – March, 10 am-8 pm.
Tickets are $14.95 for adults (ages 12 and up) and $19.50 for youth (3-11). A special Fast Pass (express line, no waiting) is available for $30, as well as a variety of package and combo tickets. The Skydeck is also available with City Pass and Go Chicago Card.
