Unfortunately the weather in Chicago today hasn’t been too kind with the rain getting heavier and heavier as the day went on. Despite being unsure about whether we would see anything up The John Hancock Tower, one pressed on. Said building turned out to be pretty impressive standing proud through the mist…
The John Hancock Tower i.e. 360 Chicago is fully ADA compliant meaning that all parts are wheelchair accessible. However, to experience the ‘TILT’ (where one gets to look face down over the Magnificent Mile), wheelchair users must be able to stand up. Despite this, the rest of the observation deck is accessible and provides panoramic views over Chicago (albeit through the mist)…
N.B. During our stay in Chicago, one discovered that you can head up to the bar on the 96th floor for FREE.
As the weather seemed to clear by the evening, one thought it a good idea to go for a roll through Millennium Park which is only a few blocks away in search for The Giant Bean. What we did not see was the giant black cloud over yonder. Needless to say, one got a soaking,..
Tomorrow, we plan to head up to the city’s other famous observation deck, the Willis (Sears) Tower which is, coincidentally in the vicinity of Union Station!
