At the John Hancock Observatory you will witness the city from 94 stories above the Magnificent Mile. Get ready for a complete sensory experience as talking telescopes narrate your view and the wind hits your face in the Open Air Sky Loft. The new multimedia Sky Tour is free with admission. Be sure to walk by the History Wall that stretches more than 80 feet detailing major past events like the Great Fire of 1891 and the White Sox Scandal. This is a popular tourist attraction, so try to get here before 11 am or after 6 pm and to avoid the crowds.
