This site contains affiliate links. When you book a ticket through any of the booking widgets or "View on GetYourGuide" links on this site, GetYourGuide pays us a small commission. This is how chicagoobservationdeck.com supports itself.
How affiliate commission works
The commission is paid by GetYourGuide out of their margin on the sale. It does not change the price you pay. The price displayed on the booking widget is the same price you'd see if you went to GetYourGuide directly. We have no ability to mark prices up or down, and we never see your payment details.
How we pick which tours to feature
We feature Skydeck Chicago at Willis Tower (tour ID 19830) and 360 Chicago Observation Deck (tour ID 31619) as the two primary options because they are the only two large, dedicated public observation decks in Chicago — the comparison is genuine, not commercial. The "Bundles & passes" section adds related options (Sip and View, three combo tours, and the two main multi-attraction passes) because they are the actual alternatives a visitor would consider on the same day.
We do not favor higher-commission tours. Our editorial judgment is based on review volume, rating, our independent reading of the experience, and what the source content (the Compass guide we drafted from) actually recommends.
What we don't do
We don't accept payment for placement, don't accept gifts or comped tickets in exchange for coverage, and don't write fake reviews. The traveler quotes on this site are sourced verbatim from the linked GetYourGuide listings. The architectural and historical facts are sourced from public references and a guide our team wrote separately.
Disclosures we follow
This page satisfies the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and the UK Advertising Standards Authority's CAP Code rules on affiliate marketing. The bottom of every page on this site also carries the short-form disclosure: "This site contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission when you book through our links at no extra cost to you."
