360 Chicago Press Kit

Overview

360 CHICAGO, the 94th-floor observation deck at the 875 N. Michigan building (the former John Hancock Center), is a must-visit attraction for locals and travelers, offering the best views of Chicago’s iconic cityscape, lakefront and beyond. 360 CHICAGO makes for a memorable family outing, date night or photography shoot, and offers a unique vantage point for many of Chicago’s major special events, including the Air & Water show, fireworks displays, boat races and more. The experience embraces Chicago’s unique neighborhoods, history and culture by incorporating local vendors and artists in events and regular programming, food and beverage options, decor and more.     


The 17,000-square foot observation deck is home to TILT, Chicago’s highest thrill ride. TILT is a glass vestibule that leans guests out at a 30-degree angle, 1,030 feet over the Magnificent Mile and is currently the only ride of its kind around the world. Opening in 2014, TILT has welcomed millions of riders, many to face their fear of heights. 360 CHICAGO is also home to CloudWalk, the highest open-air viewing deck in the city featuring artwork by local artists.  

 

Chicago’s highest cocktail lounge is also located at 360 CHICAGO. CloudBar welcomes guests to grab a specialty cocktail or local brew and relax while enjoying the unbeatable views, day or night. The cocktail menu is inspired by Chicago’s neighborhoods, like the “Heavenly Martini,” inspired by the Kit Kat Lounge in Lakeview, the “Gold Coast Manhattan” inspired by Gold Coast, and “The ‘L’ Fashioned” inspired by The Loop. Local brews are on tap, while coffee options from Chicago-made Kikwetu Coffee and mocktails are also available. The vibrant atmosphere has been described as “European design meets Chicago’s neighborhoods in the clouds.”  

 

360 CHICAGO has been operated by Magnicity since 2014, the global leader in elevated urban leisure. Magnicity partners with leading global tour agencies across four continents and has experiences at the Paris Montparnasse Tower, Berlin’s TV Tower, the Euromast in Rotterdam, the Varso Tower in Poland and, of course, 360 CHICAGO.
