Whether youve visited the Sears Towers Skydeck Chicago observatory a hundred times or are planning your first trip, theres a new attraction at Americas tallest building worthy of your attention: The Ledge.
Skydeck Chicago unveiled The Ledge a series of glass bays that extend from the buildings 103rd floor - to visitors just last week. The glass bays reach out more than four feet from the Skydecks west side, allowing visitors a stomach-flipping, weak-in-the-knees view 1,353 feet straight down.
"The Skydeck has evolved to challenge our visitors' curiosity," said Randy Stancik, general manager, Skydeck Chicago. "You only need to see the forehead prints on the windows to know that visitors are constantly trying to catch a glimpse below. The Skydeck attracts more than one million visitors annually who enjoy views of up to 50 miles and four states. Now, they have a fifth view right at their feet."
The Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), the building's original designers when it opened in 1973, provided an innovative plan for this architectural and engineering achievement. SOM designed The Ledge so that the fully enclosed glass boxes rest between conveyer belts. The boxes retract into the building, allowing easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Each box provides unobstructed views of people, taxis, boats and bridges over Wacker Drive and the Chicago River.
Skydeck Chicago is open daily from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. The important to budget travel is to plan in advance.
