![]() ![]() If you enjoy being one hundred plus stories in the air, you won't be scared and it will be pretty exhilarating. If heights doesn't impress you, this isn't your attraction. Still, you won't get much higher than this. A clear box hanging off the Willis Tower. Altogether a fun experience, if only to just be that high up! Read more here they have a sign up on that corner of the building and little footprints on the floor so you can re-create it for yourself :) There are lines of people to take their turn in the actual ledge boxes if you pay extra for priority you can bypass the lines and get in whenever you are ready, but once you're there they time you for about 2 minutes I think? And they'll take one pro shot of you that you can buy later, but you get the rest of the few minutes to take your own shots in the glass box. I'm an 80's girl but I hadn't known that this was the building where they filmed the scene from Ferris Bueller where Ferris and Sloane stand and lean up against the glass looking out over the city. It's actually very cool to see the city from this viewpoint. No more so than sitting in the window seat of a plane and looking out and down, and here you get to take your time and there are lots of signs and guides to show you what you're looking at. Once the door opens and you're out on the observation floor, it's not really all that scary. The elevator up is a trip, in the very quick minute or two it takes you to go up that high (while your ears are popping) there are graphics showing you how you've now passed the height of other several famous tall landmarks. It was honestly not as anxiety inducing as I worried it might be. I don't love heights but went on this anyway with family. ![]()
