If you want a place to see the city from above then this is it. The Willis Tower offers you the Skydeck Experience with 360° views of the city. On a clear day you can see as far as four states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin). The tower has 110 floors and stands at 1450 feet above the sidewalk; it is one of the tallest buildings in the world. The Skydeck is on the 103^rd floor, 1351 feet above ground. On a windy day you can literally feel the building swaying. Before reaching the actual observation deck visitors pass through an interactive exhibition and movie presentation called “Reaching for the Sky.

The journey begins with a super fast elevator ride up to the observation deck. The elevator takes just 60 seconds to reach the top. If you are feeling brave then “go out on a ledge” literally. There are retractable glass balconies which extend 4 feet out of the façade. Visitors can stand in one of the three glass “boxes” and look through the floor all the way down. This experience is even more exciting once you know that in 2014 one of the glass floors shattered while people were in the box! No one was injured. The cleverly marketed building has a few catchy mottos like “110 floors, countless stories” and “Willis Tower, more than meets the Skyline.”
