Not for visitors with vertigo
No trip to Chicago is complete without experiencing what Chicago Tribune readers voted one of the '7 Wonders of Chicago'! Treat yourself to unparalleled, 360-degree views of up to four states from the top of Sears Tower, the Western Hemisphere's Tallest Building. Skydeck exhibits showcase the city's rich history and bring Chicago's spectacular skyline to life.
And soon visitors to the top of the tallest building in North America won't be able to avoid looking straight down. The Sears Tower plans this summer to add four enclosed glass-bottomed balconies jutting out from the building's 103rd-floor Skydeck -- offering a view of 1,353 feet down. Each balcony will be able to hold about five tons and the glass will be half an inch thick.
