Top 10 things to do at 1,000 feet
Located high above The Magnificent Mile®, you'll soon see why a visit here is rated an ‘absolute must do' by tourists and locals alike.
Our breathtaking 360° views stretch across 4 states –Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois– including stunning views of Lake Michigan and a beautiful night cityscape. No wonder TripAdvisor reviewers, Chicago Tribune and Yelp reviewers all agree - it's Chicago's best view. We think so too!
Now there's always something spectacular to see. Choose from a night, day or live view, and even on those low visibility days you'll still be able to see for miles and miles... and miles! And don't worry about bringing a pocket of change: just slip your credit card in the machine or pay for a single-use card on entry.
Get to know the real Chicago - its history and its hotspots - with our witty multimedia Sky Tour designed to captivate eyes, ears and mind. Your guide today (and every day) will be Lookingglass co-founder, David Schwimmer. The adult tour comes in your choice of seven languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish) and kids get their own version too.
Don't be confined to a four foot glass box across town - breathe in the fresh air instead. Find out why Chicago is called the Windy City as you step outside and look way, way, way down. Fantastic in summer... and winter!
We have expert knowledge of Chicago, which isn't surprising considering how much of it we can see from 1,000 feet! Once you've got an overview of the city with our multimedia tour, stop by our concierge desk and we can help book your tickets to all kinds of shows, events, landmarks and the best restaurants around town.
Relax over one of our unique Italian coffees from Lavazza Espression café. Treat the kids to gelato and cookies or get romantic over a refreshing cocktail at our bar. We have a delicious café menu designed by 3-star Michelin chef Ferran Adrià and if you get our Sky High annual pass you can come up 365 days a year FREE. (Admission fee applies.)
Fool everyone back home with a cheeky photo opportunity. Be a John Hancock Center window washer. Then post it online right away for all your friends to see. (We've got free Wi-Fi in our café.)
You simply can't miss the dramatic murals tracing Chicago's rise from marsh to metropolis. We're talking real drama like the Great Fire of 1871, the White Sox scandal in 1919 and the 1933 World's Fair.
Plan your visit to coincide with events such as Winter Wonderland, Skating in the Sky, Navy Pier's summer fireworks, the Chicago Air & Water Show - and loads more.

Zoom up 1,000ft in just 40 seconds in the fastest elevators in North America. When you're done, descend just as fast and you'll come out right in the heart of the downtown shopping district. There's a reason it's called The Magnificent Mile®!
Here's a great tip. Get our Sun & Stars pass so after you've 'shopped till you've dropped' you can pop back up for a glass of wine and enjoy a stunning dusk while the city lights up. Très magnifique.
