About John Hancock Center

This attraction is located on the 94th floor and the best views can be seen during the night time. An American landmark, the monument features cultural aspects. Built as a modern-day design, the architects have worked tirelessly in a novel way to produce a design that would showcase a new, modern, and advanced Chicago to visitors.

 The 360-degree tower is made out of glass. It's an attraction you would have to pay to enter, but the experience leaves tourists and locals spellbound. It also boasts of several shops and dining areas where visitors can take a break, relax, and enjoy a few drinks while gazing at the magnificent views of the Chicago skyline.
