Chicago is one of my favorite cities, and now there’s a whole new way to experience the Windy City. Opened last weekend, TILT at 360 CHICAGO, formerly John Hancock Observatory, offers views of the city at a new angle. TILT is an enclosed glass and steel moveable platform that holds eight visitors at a time. Once guests are safely inside, the platform tilts outward, generating downward-facing views of Chicago — from 1,000 feet above the ground! This is probably not an attraction for the faint of heart or those afraid of heights, but it is certainly an interesting and new way to take in a cityscape. On its opening weekend, more than 4,000 guests experienced the attractions; TILT is open 14 hours a day, allowing eight visitors at a time. The rate is $5 per experience plus the price of general admission to the observatory. 360 CHICAGO is located on Michigan Avenue, overlooking Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile. The building’s 360-degree views span four states. While I’m not usually afraid of heights, I think leaning against glass at 1,000 feet over the city might make me a bit nervous; but I’d definitely try this unique viewing experience. There are never too many ways to take in a city you love, and it’s a great way for first-time travelers to acquaint themselves with the city. What do you think, will you give this one-of-a-kind attraction a try? — Kim Krol, managing editor
