WILLIS TOWER REVIEWS
Going to the top is a great experience!! The views are absolutely beautiful, Sky Deck Ledge is incredible. Great views of the horizon, up to 50 miles on a clear day. It is best to find the times when the tower is not busy. We waited in line over 20 minutes to buy tickets, about 1 hr 30 minutes to get on the elevator, and another 45-minute wait to go on the ledge, which you are only allowed a short time to be on. (60 seconds for a group of 3, 90 seconds for 4+). Great experience & great views of up to 4 states.
This was my first time in Chicago and coming to this place was truly wonderful. Although, there was some wait, I can completely say the experience is totally WORTH IT. I would have loved more time going in the ledge's glass boxes. My recommendation is to have all your phones ready to take pictures because time goes fast. I enjoyed the views and you can really see how beautiful is Chicago.
A great place to visit for your first time in Chicago! If you like heights and scenic views, I’d definitely recommend this place! The all-glass viewing decks are definitely a thrill as well. Definitely a great experience!

360 CHICAGO OBSERVATION DECK REVIEWS
Best views here. You see the lake on one side and all of downtown on another. North shows the commercial and suburbs. There are very large touch screen monitors that you can see many landmarks. Also, you can toggle between night and day on the screen to find what you see in the distance depending on when you visit. Large area to walk and many places to sit and hang out. The bar is good - local beers while you take an hour and watch the lights.
I went to 360 Chicago with my partner, two weeks ago and we enjoyed it a lot. It feels really good to be that high in a building. The city views are incredible. They’re very organized and do their best to keep you safe during these times of pandemic. Be ready to take the best pictures! 100% Recommended.
Nothing like a drink a good drink with a beautiful view. Loved the ambiance there are definitely plenty of photo opportunities. Drinks were great and service was attentive and friendly! I had such a great time, I totally forgot to hit the glass room...I'll be back Chicago

Buckingham Fountain is one of the largest fountains in the world, Built in a rococo wedding cake style. The monument fountain is located in Grant Park, inspired by the Latona Fountain at Versailles. Buckingham Fountain is a beautiful center of the sculpture, and the center jet shoots water into the air to a height of 150 feet during the show. The fountain provides a great show of water every hour for 20 minutes. The final major show begins at 10:35 pm each evening. It uses about 14,100 gallons of water per minute transported by 134 jets. It makes one of the most beautiful fountains in America because of its landscape design, finely crafted bronze sculpture, and technology use.

BUCKINGHAM FOUNTAIN REVIEWS
It's a beautiful spot! The fountain is breathtaking with a fantastic view of the skyline behind it. The park area surrounding it is just as beautiful. I never realized there was a small rose garden before the fountain. Definitely a sight worth seeing, and great backdrop for portraits/photography shoots. Definitely a must visit if you’re downtown Chicago in the summer! It’s a huge open platform area with a huge fountain in the middle that is just the perfect, beautiful place on a hot summer day. It’s very huge and just beautiful and when the wind blows, you get the mist on your face and it feels so good. Sometimes they play beautiful classical music there and you feel so grand with the beautiful music and the huge fountain! It’s right across the street from the lake so from there I’d recommend crossing the street and take a walk along the lake to the shed aquarium or to navy pier. The fountain is definitely one of my favorite summer spots in Chicago. In the evening it even lights up with all these different colors and looks so cool!
Beautiful fountain with a great view of the Michigan Lake! There are quite a bit Divvy bikes nearby, and biking in this area (Millenium Park, the Grand Park, the lakeshore of Michigan Lake, the Field Museum) is very nice - highly recommended! The fountain will be shut down during winter, but it’s still worth a visit!
The Buckingham Fountain is beautiful! Being from Chicago I have seen this beautiful fountain many times and I totally recommend it! My favorite time to visit the fountain is at night when it’s turned on and it changes colors. I also enjoy walking around.
