8 Reasons to Choose Chicago as Your Next Travel Destination

Want the ultimate adrenaline rush? Soar up to the 103rd floor of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and step out onto the glass balcony.

At 1,353 feet in the air, the Skydeck's glass boxes extend out 4.3 feet and offer jaw-dropping views spanning up to four states. At $23 per adult ticket, this experience isn't exactly free — although children under the age of 3 are free! — but it will provide you with an up-close view of the city's dramatic skyline. And if your ledge adventure is anything like mine was, the scene of those twinkling lights will forever be sketched in your heart!
