Location
Sometimes when choosing between SkyDeck Chicago and 360 CHICAGO, it just comes down to the logistics of getting there or what fits your sightseeing schedule. Lucky for you, both of these decks are in prime locations full of other great Chicago attractions and landmarks.
SkyDeck Chicago
SkyDeck Chicago is located just a few blocks from Millennium Park and the Museum Campus and is very easy to get to by car or public transportation.
Millennium Park is home to the famous Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean") sculpture, and you can't take a trip to Chicago without snapping a picture in front of it.
As well as housing one of the most famous works of art in the city, the park is also a fantastic and lively green space with lots of other installations and things to see.
Head a little further down into the park and you'll find the best museums in town. Explore the Art Institute of Chicago, The Field Museum, The Shedd Aquarium and more.
360 CHICAGO

The Museum of Contemporary Art and the Children's Museum of Chicago are also nearby. Whether you're traveling with family or a big art lover – or both – these two institutions are a must.
