The last must see I’ll talk about is the Sears Tower. From the Skydeck at the Sears Tower, you can see all that is Chicago. It is an impressive sight. Until 1996, the 110-story building was the tallest in the world and, at 1,454 feet, dominates the Chicago skyline. The Skydeck itself is 1,353 feet high and is the highest observation point in the city. A must see for sure.
