See Chicago from The Hancock Observatory
Really See Chicago from The Hancock Observatory
See Chicago's most Magnificent View From The Heart Of Magnificent Mile at The Hancock Observatory. The catch phrase for The Hancock Observatory is "Above all, a great time". They aren't kidding! Take the elevator 1000 feet up and catch the magnificent view of Chicago, Wisconsin, Indiana and of course other parts of Illinois.
The Hancock Observatory let's you know what "The Windy City" really means from Chicago's highest open air viewing deck. The observatory is located atop the John Hancock Center at 875 N Michigan Avenue.
Another fascinating feature at The Hancock Observatory are the talking telescopes on the observation deck. Imagine looking through the telescope at Wrigley Field and actually hearing the roar of the crowd. These talking telescopes feature narration in English, Spanish, French or Japanese.
You can also let your friends believe you were a daredevil on your vacation through a little photographic trickery. Get that shot of you being a 1968 construction worker out on a steel beam with noting but the windy city around you! You could even be Big John's the window washer dangling 1000 feet in the air! This is a great opportunity for an awesome memento.
Admission is $9.75 for Adults, $7.50 for Seniors, $6.00 for Children and under 4 is free! There is also a local amusement tax that is added on. Operating hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
For an additional $4 you can get an audio Skytour for two with two sets of headphones that gives you all the insider information. If you prefer to go solo, an individual tour is $3. It has 16 stops of 1-3 minutes that you can perform in any order. The self tours are available in English, Spanish and German. Even natives are surprised at some of the information the Skytour has!
I recommend going close to sunset. This way, you can catch Chicago during the day and night. The lights of the city seem to go on forever.
