 | |  |  | Sears Tower or John Hancock Building: Sears Tower - Consider Visibility | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
On a good, clear day, you can see all of Chicago from its observation deck on the 103rd Floor. It's great! However, the tickets aren't cheap, the lines can be long, and depending on the weather conditions you may not see anything anyway, So ask the attendant or call first. (312) 875-9696 - 233 S. Wacker Dr. (entrance on Jackson Blvd.)
So, before you stand in line to buy a $10 ticket, ask the elevator attendant what the visibility at the top is like. He or she will know, and will probably tell you. If he or she says the visibility is bad, save your time and money for another day or another attraction. Do not assume that because it's a great, sunny day on the street, that the view will be fantastic. Many times there is a haze that prevents visibility 'up there' that you won't notice until too late.
Weather bad, but you're already there? Get a slice of Chicago style deep dish pizza, or stroll over the canal bridge and see Union Station (2 blocks west) or just catch the 60, 130 or 151 buses east to Michigan Ave and the Art Institute. Or even stay on the 130 to get to the Museum Campus and many more attractions. Leave a Comment
