Chicago (Aug. 15, 2022) — Two new attractions—the Art Institute of Chicago and 360 CHICAGO Observation Deck—have been added to the Chicago C3® ticket, which is part of the CityPASS® family of tickets that bundle discounted admission to the most iconic attractions in 15 North American destinations. Designed for shorter-stay travelers to Chicago, C3 tickets cover prepaid admission to three outstanding Windy City attractions.

Chicago C3 tickets are perfect for weekend jaunts and mini-break getaways. The tickets allow users to save up to 31% when selecting any combination of three attractions from the following seven options:

  • Shedd Aquarium
  • Skydeck Chicago
  • Art Institute of Chicago
  • Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago
  • 360 CHICAGO Observation Deck
  • Shoreline Sightseeing Architecture River Tour
  • Centennial Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier

Note: Attractions need not be selected in advance and can be visited in any order.

Rising 1,000 feet (305 meters) above the city’s famed Magnificent Mile, 360 CHICAGO offers stunning vistas that encompass the city skyline, Lake Michigan, and Navy Pier. On clear days the observation deck’s astounding views extend beyond Chicago to three neighboring states: Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Interactive touch screens help visitors identify the many Chicago landmarks.

At 360 CHICAGO, the guest experience begins at the ground floor with a museum-style exhibition celebrating Chicago’s history and highlighting nine of its culturally rich neighborhoods. Then zip up to the 17,000-square-foot (1,580 square meters) observation deck for breathtaking views.

Named one of Tripadvisor’s “Top U.S. Attractions of 2022,” the Art Institute of Chicago is home to a collection of art that spans 5,000 years of creativity. Visit to see the best Impressionist collection outside of Paris and some of the most iconic paintings in the world, including Grant Wood’s American Gothic, Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884, and Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait.

Don’t miss the Deering Family Galleries of Medieval and Renaissance Art, Arms, and Armor, presenting nearly 700 objects from the museum’s rich holdings of art, jewelry and arms and armor from 1200 to 1600; the African Art gallery whose geographic arrangement of the collection illustrates the vastness and cultural diversity of the African continent; the beautiful Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Art; and the Renzo Piano-designed Modern Wing, which is home to the museum’s collection of 20th and 21st century art.

Both the Art Institute of Chicago and 360 CHICAGO Observation Deck are also part of the original Chicago CityPASS attractions ticket, which is designed for those planning a longer stay in the Windy City. It covers prepaid entry to five Chicago attractions at a savings of 48%.
