![]() l did, & it was petrifying, but blessedly short. I figured after the syrupy cocktail I might psyche myself up to do‘Tilt’, the touristy add on which involves being tipped at an angle via a moveable glass & steel platform, over the side of the building, enabling sick bucket inducing, downward facing views of the city streets 1000ft below. I opted for the View & Sip ticket, which encompassed entry & a syrupy cocktail in the naff Cloudbar. ![]() Goes without saying, the views are incredible. It was a clear but quiet day, so a seamless, no queue experience for me. It’s one of those Chicago tick box attractions I guess, & I did enjoy my visit. Once inside it looks and feels different which scared him. We had looked out the windows seeing the city below and then watched thru the tilt window of the people on the tilt before I bought the tickets as he kept asking to go. Do not be surprised if a child is afraid of getting on the tilt. Recommendation: In hindsight, I should have bought the city pass as it allows you to access the VIP wait lines that are much shorter and/or I also recommend saving 20% by buying online in advance. Very Glad I did not wait to go to the top of the Willis Tower as we would not have seen anything. We could not see the top of the Willis Tower and Trump tower. We could see everything very clearly below the cloud level as the clouds were just above us. Apparently the clouds lowered significantly during our wait in line. Great views, the windows are floor to ceiling and easy to see in all directions. The wait was 50 minutes and they were accurate. Pros: I asked the staff the wait time is to get to the top and they told me an hour. They do not let a child be in the same tilt platform with the adult and he was next to me which made holding on to him a major problem. I had to force him to get on it and hold onto him during the tilt which was not easy. There was no line, but when I bought the tickets and took him to the tilt window wall, he got scared and would not get near it. Concerns: I took my grandson who was 6 and insisted on going on the tilt.
