360 Chicago view of the Skyline & Lake Michigan

avatar
@sdamiani
This observation deck rises high above the city skyline, giving you a complete view of Chicago and Lake Michigan. The bustling streets are impressive at any time of day, but a visit during sunset will offer an especially awe-inspiring experience. As the sun descends below the horizon, you can watch the skyscrapers light up one office and one apartment at a time.
