Is 360 Chicago (Hancock) worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, 360 Chicago (Hancock) earns the hours.

Allow 1 hour.

The lake-and-shoreline view here is arguably better framed than Willis, and the 94th-floor CloudBar lets you nurse a cocktail right at the glass instead of filing through. The catch: the old Signature Lounge two floors up — long the free-view-for-a-drink hack — closed in 2023 and is being rebuilt into a multi-floor observation expansion (targeted ~2027), so that workaround is gone, and the deck itself is smaller and can feel cramped at sunset.
