Description

John Hancock Center at 875 North Michigan Avenue in the Gold Coast area of Chicago, Illinois, is a 100-story, 1,127-foot tall skyscraper. It is currently the fourth-tallest building in Chicago and the sixth-tallest in the United States.[1]

Tips

• Ideal for a more advanced date. It is quiet, sutble, dark (but not overly private). There are stunning views. You can walk outside too - great wind. There's a lot of potential. Go at night.
• Not really a place to "do" things. There is a telescope that may cost $1.
• There's a parking lot in the building.
• Make sure you go to the observatory and not the lounge.
• They ask to take a picture of you when you enter and try to sell it to you later for $10.

Hours Subject to change. Always verify.

Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (last ticket sold at 10:45 p.m.)
