Take your trip to great heights at John Hancock Observatory. The adventure begins with a 40-second thrill ride up 1,000 feet in North America's fastest elevator. Even before you catch your breath, you’ll be wowed by 360-degree views from the 94th floor. You can actually see parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Keep your experience on the edge with Chicago’s only open-air Skywalk high above the Magnificent Mile (and get to truly feel why it's called "The Windy City").
And just when you think things couldn’t get more sensational, the tower takes it to the next level with their Multi-Media Sky tour, narrated by David Schwimmer. This multimedia experience will stimulate your mind with a walk through Chicago’s history and hotspots. After taking it all in, relax in the award-winning Lavazza Espression café and share your sightseeing inspirations over a cup of this Italian favorite. Even after you elevator back to earth, you’ll still feel your head is somewhere in the Chicago clouds.

from Minneapolis, MN on 7/25/2010Comments about Smart Destinations The Hancock Observatory:
This is a useless product, please stop cheating people. This card is not valid after 5:30 pm and they are not telling you lot of other things. The gray line tours that they advertise so much, is the worst in chicago. you would be better off taking a cab everytime you want to go somewhere. I am very frustrated. You will have to stand in line everywhere. There are no breezeways waiting for you to walk. you have to wait atleast 1 - 1 1/2 hour to get to JH observatory. It is a waste of money. Please do not buy these cards. I did not want to give it a rating but this website won't let me publish without a rating, so I am giving it a one star, but you please consider it to be -1.

Comments about Smart Destinations The Hancock Observatory:
I was a little worried that the Go Chicago card might not be as easy to use as it was advertised as, but I was wrong! I didn't wait in line at all, there is a special entry area for people with GoChicago cards and it's clearly marked. We breezed right past the line and easily accessed the elevator up to the observatory. We also ate brunch there but that is not included with the card.
