An observation deck cannot just be a place to observe a stunning skyline. It’s got to take things further. But when you’re at the Hancock, where do you go to get breathtaking views?
Introduced in 2014, Hancock TILT takes you to the edge—and then some. Unlike its taller cousin, you don’t walk out on a clear platform, but instead, a row of reinforced, shatter-proof glass and steel windows tilts out, giving you what their marketing people call “an adventurous angle” and a unique view of the city, 1,000 feet below.
There’s also a new cafe, bar, and of course, swag you can buy to remember your visit. I enjoyed the virtual video tours of various neighborhoods (yes, we’re more than just Michigan Avenue!) in the 360 CHICAGO “experience,” rounding out the tourist experience. It starts at $39 for the experience.
I’d tell you more, but the photos really do the talking here!
