Ready to take sightseeing to a new level? John Hancock Observatory's Skywalk (the only open-air viewing platform in the state) shows you the view from the top. After disembarking 94 stories above Magnificent Mile, be amazed by stunning 360-degree views spanning four states—Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Learn all about Chicago’s history and hotspots on the new multimedia Sky Tour, narrated by Lookingglass Theatre Company co-founder David Schwimmer. Both adult and kid's versions of the tour are free with your entry. The adult tour also comes in German and Spanish (adult tours in French, Japanese, and Mandarin will be available starting Jan. 30, 2009).
