I'll be honest – just because I live in Chicago doesn't mean I've experienced all it has to offer. However, we took it upon ourselves to be a tourist in our city, and we went to check out The Willis Tower & The Skydeck at the end of April. The Skydeckis the perfect family-friendly adventure, 1,353 ft off the ground. On a clear day, The Skydeck presents incredible views of Chicago, with views reaching as far as Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. However, even on a cloudy day, the view is still breathtaking as you will see.

The Ledge’s 4 glass boxes extend 4.3 feet outside the Tower, 1,353 feet above Wacker Drive, with glass on the ceiling, floor and sides, offering a truly an unforgettable experience.

We had amazing time. Bill and I had never done this before, and we will definitely be taking the kids back. It is a must stop in Chicago!
