THE LOOP.   Standing 1454 feet high, this skyscraper is easily Chicago's most dominant structure. Visitors can shoot to the top of the 110-story building via a 70-second elevator ride and catch magnificent views into Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin from the 103rd floor skydeck. If you are looking for thrill, step out onto "The Ledge," glass boxes extended from the side of the skydeck with views 1,353 feet straight down! Informational exhibits for both adults and children teach the history of Chicago, the construction of the tower, and interesting "did you know" facts.   (© 10Best)

Amazing view! I took my dad there last summer; it was a great Father's Day event :) (There’s awesome restaurant on the lower floor too)

Sears tower has a good gift shop, so walk around the building and buy your shot glass. Then head over to Handcock building. Lounge at J Handcock requires only a drink purchase. Best deal and you get to look back at the Sears tower.
