Even thought I was disappointed which was my own fault. I thought the deck was going to be like the Empire State Buidling, outside, it wasnt. My fault for not paying more attention. It still is a must see! Amazing view and great for pics
I went to Chicago a couple of years ago and the Sears Tower was on the top of my list to see... I was definitely not disappointed one bit. The lines are log so be prepared to do a lot of standing but when you get off that elevator the view is breathtaking! This is a must see!!!!!!

Sears Tower..WOW
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/21/08
My wife and I went to the Sears Tower this past weeked...We went at about 7:00 on Sat. We have ZERO problems with the facilities and the nioght view was the one on most amazing things I have ever seen. There was about 25 people on the whole deck and I was able to stop and get a views from every section of the tower for however long I ...
The elevator is great! Just 60 seconds to get to the 103rd floor. Very smooth. My daughter absolutely refused to get on the elevator. I didn't get my money back for her ticket, but I was able to let her shop in the gift shop while I went to the top. That is something to think about. If someone might bail out on you, it would be best to ...
It was magnificent to see Chicago from this view. What an awesome trip that was from once we were getting off of the elevator until the trip home. All we could talk about was the awesome view from the Sears Tower.

Highest observation deck in America
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/07
Currently the highest observation deck in the U.S., so it should get 5 stars just for that though, personally, I think the view from the Hancock Observatory is better.
Well after walking here from Michigan street bridge we found the door into the sky deck on the south side of the building. The enterence was very much like a ride at Disney! The elevator ride was crowded and brisk to the top! The deack area was great place to relax and view! A must see while in Chicago.
They offer a bunch of add on options for tours, audio wands, etc. Don't take it. The experience of traveling in the elevator to the top of Chicago is more than enough! Take some time to revel in the trip up and in the thought of the structure's amazing integrity.

What a view!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/16/07
Cons: Be so prepared to stand in lines (yes, plural) Stand in line to go through metal detector. Stand in line to pay. Stand in line to wait to sit down to watch a short film. Stand in line to get on elevator.
