![]() ![]() ![]() (We ordered our food a couple days prior. We sat down and were served our salads we had ordered. It was so awesome, and so romantic to be at the (3rd) top of the world, seemingly by ourselves. We walked around the rest of the deck, as the other 2 couples sat down. We stepped out and I immediately fell a tad bit dizzy as the ground disappeared and we were now standing outside the building, over the city.Īnother one of the couples walked up, so I snapped some pictures of them on the ledges, and they returned the favor. ![]() I walked to the edge and froze for a second. “Wait, we can go on those?!” I couldn’t contain my excitement. I looked up from the table, and there we were, seated right in front of one of the 4 “ledges”. The 2 other couples went their opposite ways, and B and I were left to ourselves. It was going to be a nice private dinning experience. “Go ahead, walk around, take all your pictures, and take as long as you want.” The place was completely empty! Ghost town up here! We went ahead and let them show us our table first so I could put my jacket down and go enjoy the sites. These were the only tables in the whole place all night! I was sure we were headed up to meet the other group of people, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was just us for the time being. There were only 6 of us heading up the “60 seconds to the top” elevator, to the 103rd floor. Then we waited in the lobby for about 20 minutes or so, until someone came to take us up. We were a bit early, so waited in the lobby until 11.Īfter we parked, we headed to the front desk, where they checked us in, printed out our badges/pass for the night, and went through security.(just like at the airport…metal detector, and the x-ray machine for your belongings). You’re told to be there between 10:45-11 to check in. I had a few thoughts and questions running through my mind… “I hope we get a good table close to the window!” “That would be so cool if we get to stand on the ledge too.” “I wonder if they will put us at a table with a lot of other people.” And all of my questions were soon to be answered…I just couldn’t wait! I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I was stoked! I knew that dinner was going to be at 11pm after it closed to the public, we would be having (Pizza) Pie for dinner, and there was a maximum of 9 tables each night. That would’ve been enough excitement in itself, but did you know you can have a super romantic, (and fairly exclusive), dinner up there?! I had no idea that was a thing and jumped at the opportunity, as soon as I learned of Skydeck’s “Pie in the Sky” event. So I was way excited to go again, now that they have the glass “ledge”. Our youngest sister actually lost her very first tooth up there…it’s a fun family story for all of us. I remember going to the top observation deck 12 years ago, when it was still Sears Tower. OK, 3rd top of the world now! That’s right, we’re talking the Willis Tower (you may know it better as the Sears Tower…formerly the tallest building in the world) in Chicago. ![]()
