The building is home to several offices, eateries, and condominiums, but its star attractions are the 360 Chicago observation deck, a five-star restaurant, an open-air skywalk, a sky lobby, and USA’s highest indoor swimming pool. Just like Willis Tower’s observation deck, the one at the John Hancock Center also has something special in-store. Hop on to the enclosed TILT moving platform on the building’s 94th floor and it will literally tilt you out over Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. The John Hancock Center is located on Chicago’s historic Magnificent Mile (covered later), so you easily pair the two trips in a single day.
