While no longer the world's tallest building, the Sears Tower still stands proud. High-speed elevators climb 110 stories to the observatory deck, and when clear, the view from 1,454 feet can be stunning. Enjoy bird's eye views of Lake Michigan, both the North and South Sides of the city, the surrounding suburbs and, on a clear day, parts of Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. The Skydeck Tour also includes a multimedia presentation and an exhibit with information on the Sears Tower and other architecturally significant buildings. The Skydesk also offers Glass Balconies, also known as "The Ledge." On the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower there are balconies with see through walls, ceilings floors, so it is like you are standing on air. If you are brave enough to venture out, the balconies offer a spectacular view of the city as well as the streets bellow.
