The view from the Skydeck on the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower is amazing! On a clear day, you can see 40-50 miles — the city of Chicago and its beautiful architecture, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin.

For your enjoyment on the way up, the elevators are equipped with 50-inch flat screen monitors that make you feel like you’re blasting off through the top of the Sears Tower and into space - with views of the earth compliments of NASA and the Space Shuttle Endeavor.

The Skydeck also features interactive, museum-quality exhibits highlighting Chicago’s history and historic characters. Interactive kiosks provide a tour of Chicago’s landmarks. Knee-High Chicago is a kid-level display that extends all the way around the Skydeck. Cool cut-out windows put kids eye-to-eye with scenes from Chicago’s most fascinating moments in history. The Skydeck also has high-tech, high-powered telescopes for a closer look at the city.

Restaurants in the Sears Tower include Augustino’s Rock and Roll Deli, now located on the 2nd floor restaurant level. A great Mexican restaurant is opening in May called Salsario Loco also located on the 2nd floor restaurant level. In the main lobby are Starbucks and Corner Bakery and on Lower Level 1 (also easily accessible to the public) is Venice Café, a long standing loop favorite that relocated from across Wacker Dr.
