Sky Deck

Chicago is home to one of the tallest buildings in the world--the Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower). They have a great observation deck on the 103rd floor called Sky Deck. On a clear day you can see all the way to Wisconsin from the Sky Deck. It was a little cloudy the day we went there, but the view was still amazing.

Sky Deck has four observation areas that are made of glass on all sides, including the floor, so you can look straight down and feel like you are flying high above the ground. Even if you're not afraid of heights, it kind of takes your breath away to step out onto the glass floor. Jacob and Andrew didn't hesitate to run out onto the glass. They were fearless.
Jacob really didn't want to leave.
It was a great view from the top of the city. --Kelly
