This 344-meter-tall skyscraper, known as the John Hancock Center until 2018, stands on Chicago's Magnificent Mile and remains one of the city's tallest buildings. Constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the building, with its dark anodized aluminum facade and crossed steel frame, is still an architectural icon. Located on prestigious North Michigan Avenue, near Lake Shore Drive, the observatory on the 94th floor offers breathtaking views of Lake Mi

This experience was absolutely incredible. 10/10 and worth the money to go up. The views of the city and Lake Michigan are completely unmatched. I paid a little bit extra for the sip option and it was worth it as cocktails up top are a bit pricier. Would definitely recommend this over the Sears Tower.

We visited this building and went for the sip and tilt ticket. You get a time allocation to enter the tilt window which moves to roughly 45 degrees giving an excellent view down to the ground. With the sip ticket you also get a drink and you are allowed to keep the plastic glass. This place is worth a visit for the views. Make sure it is a clear day though.

875 North Michigan Avenue, formerly known as the John Hancock Center, is one of Chicago’s most recognizable skyscrapers and a true architectural masterpiece.

Fantastic panoramic views of Chicago and Lake Michigan from the 94th floor. The TILT experience offers a thrilling perspective, tilting you outward over the city. There’s also a bar to enjoy a drink while taking in the sights. It can get crowded, especially during peak times, so consider visiting early. Overall, a must-see for visitors to Chicago!
