1353' straight down!

Thanks, great pics!

Anyone know how long the lines for the skydeck have been recently? I'm thinking of bringing out of town guests this weekend.

That's not too bad, assuming that at least a decent portion of the two hours was spent in the observation deck. Thanks again.

Went to the skydeck today. Line was short, I think we waited only about 5 minutes to get tickets. The visibility was excellent, and the ledges were definitely cool! My guests really got a kick out of them.

Good to know.
I enjoyed it, even though it is just a touristy thing.

I have been to the top of the Sears Tower (Willis Tower) several times in the past but I am not going into one of those glass observation boxes unless it has a propeller, engine and wings on it.
