    This attraction is amazing to get a 360 view of the city. The ledge is an exciting experience that lets you stand over the city and get a picture of you above the clouds. Definitely get the city pass because it gets you into the expedited entry and lets you skip the line.

    If you are into the medieval period this is for you. What a cool museum. It was so inventive seeing all of the torture mechanisms that were used. This is not for the faint of heart or children. You must enjoy horror as most of the displays are very graphic and were right up my alley. I highly recommend.

    My fiancé and I went here for a first time escape room for both of us. We had so much fun and enjoyed ourselves so much. We were told that our group was the first of the day to complete this room! With two minutes to spare too, haha! They have unlimited amounts of hints which was extremely helpful for beginners like us! We were paired with 5 other individuals that we did not know but we all came together and figured it out! It was such a fun exercise and the staff was EXTREMELY helpful, kind, and welcoming!! A big shoutout to “Z$”! We really enjoyed our time and would totally recommend this!! Side note, this is- apparently- the most difficult room they offer and it definitely required some brain power but it was so very fun!! Use those hints if you are a beginner!

    This is a great place to visit. It puts your brain to work. It's fun and interactive. The staff is nice and it could also be therapeutic.

    The Chicago Magic Lounge provided a fun, entertaining evening. During the first part, magicians roam the floor engaging with folks at individual tables. Waiters take drink and small-plate food orders. The main act consisted of two magicians performing amazing tricks, also engaging with audience members, which made it unpredictable and added currency. Then there is a post-show for people who bought premium seats. The service was excellent, especially the performer who saw us out on the street after the show looking for a cab when none was in sight. Like magic, he pulled out his phone and called us an Uber! What a prince!

    Went for my husband's birthday. Fun competing against each other. We had someone who works there show us the basics and kept score for us. They have league's, my husband will most likely be joining one :).

    A very weird & quite terrifying attraction! There’s one thing being up on the 94th floor, looking down….. but being tilted out over the edge … I was going to say it’s one of Chicago’s ‘must do’s’, but whilst up there, hanging 1000ft over the Chicago skyline…….. I decided, it’s really not!
    I’m writing this in the adjacent Cloudbar, heart still banging!!

    We had a blast. Hard to solve which made it fun. The sporadic coaching along the was helpful and didn't spoil anything.

    Had been wanting to visit The Game Show Game Show for some time and SO glad we finally did to celebrate a friend's going away send-off! If you're fun-loving and slightly silly, this is for you. Get ready for sparkly vests, singing, dancing, challenges, survey questions, trivia and some friendly competition. Eddie and Ingrid were great hosts and made our visit feel special! We were talking about it for the rest of the night. What are you waiting for? Book. that. ticket!
