Discover Chicago & the Skydeck
Discover Chicago & Soar Above the City—Visit the Willis Tower Skydeck (4 hours, Offered from April to the end of September/mid-October).
This walking tour will introduce you to the city of Chicago and take you to the highest heights: The 103rd floor Skydeck of the Willis formerly Sears tower. The tour guide will share a brief overview of Chicago’s place in time: its storied past, current challenges, and future aspirations. Pass key city sights as you walk to the entrance of this breathtaking tower. Originally built as the headquarters for Sears, Roebuck & Co., Willis tower is the second tallest building in North America. In fact, it was the tallest building in world until the Petras Towers overtook its record in 1996! Enjoy a 60-second ride in a glass elevator–the spectacular views will surely offset the adrenaline-pumping climb. Designed entirely with glass windows, the tower offers the most breathtaking view of Chicago. Bring your compass and take a deep breath; you will hardly be able to take it all in. From fantastic skyscrapers to the sparkling lake Michigan, sprawling green parks, and iconic landmarks—in every direction, Chicago’s skyline will captivate you. Ready for a dare? Walk outside on “the Ledge”, a 38 cm thick glass ledge suspended in the void. See if this won’t make your heart skip a beat!
