Skydeck Chicago from navart

For a low rate of $18 per person, you will be able to see the sights and sounds of Chicago through a Skydeck. You will get to see the beautiful landscape of the city at the 103rd floor of the world’s third tallest building, the Willis Tower. Within such area, there is a Ledge which is constructed with glass flooring and walls to make you feel like you were walking on air and by the heavens and skies. It is a a balcony extended from the center building of about four feet that will give you the best location in seeing everything that the city holds.

The view from this Skydeck extends up to about fifty miles out. It would be best if you brought along your camera and take the view as your background. You will never get to be instituted in a photo like these anywhere else in Chicago so you better grab the opportunity and smile! While here, you will get a glimpse of Chicago’s most attractive tourist destinations such as the Navy Pier and the Wrigley Field.

During this tour, you will also be able to enter the Skydeck Theatre that showcases the nine-minute movie of “Reaching for the Sky”. I don’t know about you but that is most definitely an ironic experience given that you are actually a thousand feet above the ground! This movie will tell you how the building turned into a reality and fused to be one of the most visited landmarks in Chicago.

There are several exhibits in this tour as well that are best toured with tourists traveling with their families. Some of these exhibits include touch-screen activities, scavenger hunts and interactive digital floor displays. Apart from that, you will also be entertained with a trivia game.

If you will upgrade to the Skylights Tour, there would be an additional feature of a twenty-minute audio tour that could cater to any language. This tour would introduce to you the other famous landmarks in Chicago if you wished to go beyond this tour and be fascinated with the other parts of the city.
