	John Hancock Center: John Hancock Building Tip Rating:

At the evening time, it is a good experience to watch the day turns into the night at the top observatory of John Hancock building. You can see the view of historical water tower from here. At the basement of this building, Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) stands there. It has a shop for the sourvenier and book about Chicago. By the way, it has some activities at the weekend to guide you the buildings in Chicago. Near John Hancock, there is a department store called Water Tower Place where you can have a shopping activity. The historical water tower is also nearby. The visitor center and the ticket booth for the shows are also in the water tower.

Another view from on high can be found at the John Hancock Center on N. Michigan Avenue. There's also lots of interesting architecture along Michigan Ave/the Magnificent Mile.
It's the third highest skyscraper in Chicago, and its high speed elevator will take you up to the observatory on the 94th floor in just 39 seconds. Of course there's a souvenir shop, and you will find a restaurant and bar on the 95th and 96th floors.

	John Hancock Center: Big John Tip Rating:

Updated By CliffClaven on October 1, 2002

At over 1100 feet (nearly 350 metres), the John Hancock Center barely scrapes into the Top 20 of the world's tallest buildings. It isn't even the tallest in Chicago: that honour goes to the Sears Tower, second in the world only to the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. But 'Big John' is superbly sited. You can hear the gasps of wonder as the lift doors open on the 94th floor and people look out through the panoramic windows of the observation deck at Lake Michigan glittering and stretching far to the horizon. Step a little closer to the windows and you can see the whole of Chicago below you - well, okay, all of it except the top of the Sears Tower. On a clear day you can see four states: Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana.

Go to the bar on the 96th floor of the Hancock building instead of the observatory. Spend your $10 on a drink or an appetizer.
Beautiful views of the city in all directions.

Take a break from your busy shopping on the Michigan Ave. Take the elevator from Hancock building to 96th floor and have a drink with a spectacular view.

Enjoying the magnificent view of the city from John Hancock Center's Observation Deck has been great fun ever since!
John Hancock Center is 344m tall and was built in 1969, by the way. With this it is the third tallest building in the city.

For the best view of the city, go to the top of the John Hancock Center. The view is amazing. You get a great view of Lake Michigan and the rest of Chicago and the tallest building in America, the Sears Tower.
