Skydeck Chicago

How brave are you? Step out onto The Skydeck, a glass box extending out 4.3 feet and sitting 1,353 feet high, and look down. You just may feel like you're on top of the world or floating in the air like a bird, because the only thing standing between you and the rest of the city is 1,500 pound glass panels. (Those of you afraid of heights may want to skip this one).

The tower is also a Chicago icon, the eighth-tallest building in the world, and the tallest in the Western Hemisphere at 1,450 feet high and 110 stories tall. The Skydeck offers the best view in the city, so make sure to stop in when in town.
