As a local Chicagoan, sometimes the best of our city is hiding right beneath our noses (or way way way above our heads)! Our normal views of the city include looking at monstrous traffic on the Dan Ryan expressway off our back porch or driving up Lake Shore drive to catch the waves out our window. We are on Cloud 9 now that we visited 360 Chicago. Formerly known as the John Hancock, 360 Chicago lives up to its name with spectacular 360 views of our pretty city and a newly renovated space.
Now, us 606-zip code Chicago residents can score a sweet discount of half off admission. 360 Chicago features the ONLY tilting attraction in the world, aptly named…Tilt! Giggle and gasp as you extend out and over the city in double pane glass at 1,000 feet above. 8 people at a time can Tilt!, so grab your best buds for moral support.
Local tip: There’s a bar and snack area, the Architect’s Bar, where you can gain some liquid courage if you need it!
