Skydeck A 410 metros y 110 años de historia por encima de las calles de Chicago, The Ledge en la Torre Willis (anteriormente conocida como la Torre Sears) cambiará la visión de la Ciudad del Viento tanto a los locales como a los visitantes. En Enero de 2009, los propietarios de la Torre Willis empezaron una gran renovación del famoso Skydeck, que llevaba abierto desde el 1974, y fue uno de los más importantes atractivos turísticos de la ciudad durante décadas. Cuando la Torre cambio de propietarios, la nueva dirección aporto un aspecto más fresco – y una dosis de adrenalina – al piso 103 en forma de balcones de cristal retráctiles que se extienden 1 metro y medio por encima de la Wacker Drive y el Chicago River situados abajo. Todavía el octavo edificio más alto del Mundo, y el más alto en el hemisferio Occidental, el Skydeck de la Torre Willis atrae 1’5 millones de personas al año que están deseosas de subir el edificio de 110 años de historia y más de 440 metros de altura para contemplar unas asombrosas vistas de la ciudad y su entorno. Su viaje hacia lo más alto de la Torre Willis empieza pasando por un detector de metales como los del aeropuerto, seguido de un agradable viaje en ascensor hasta la zona de espera donde los visitantes hacen cola para las entradas. Una señal le indicará el tiempo de espera necesario para subir, un momento idóneo para comprobar la visibilidad. Incluso los días que parecen soleado pueden tener niebla o nubes en lo más alto que limitan la vista. Pero en días buenos podrá ver hasta 80 km más allá, hasta los estados de Indiana, Michigan, Iowa y Wisconsin. Mientras espera, podrá ver un vídeo sobre los datos más relevantes de la Torre Willis. Después no tendrá que esperar mucho más hasta subir al ascensor, que le permitirá subir 103 plantas en tan sólo 70 segundos. Desde aquí, la ciudad entera se desvelará bajo sus pies, y verá exactamente como se distribuye Chicago. La Torre Willis, el Skydeck y The Ledge Los cientos de visitantes semanales a las ventanas del Skydeck sirvieron de inspiración para crear el The Ledge. The Ledge puede soportar unas cuatro toneladas de peso, los más atrevidos ponen a prueba esta estadística saltando alrededor del recinto completamente translucido con el trafico y el bullicio de chicago debajo. Los paneles de vidrio se componen de tres capas de vidrio grueso de media pulgada laminadas en una unidad sin fisuras. Además de servir de atracción turistica a 1,3 millones de visitantes la Torre Willis es el acoge a más de 100 empresas, entre ellas gabinetes de abogados, empresas de seguros, de transporte y servicios financieros. The Ledge se encuentra en la planta principal del Skydeck para facilitar su mantenimiento y, sobretodo, para limpiar las 974 aves muertas que se encuentran cada mes. The Moonwalk es el baile más popular de The Ledge, seguido por el Running Man y el Riverdance en tercera posición. Esta atracción no está recomendada para las personas que tienen miedo a las alturas. La Torre Willis era conocida antiguamente como la Torre Sears, hasta que en el 30 aniversario de Arnold le cambiaron el nombre. Exposiciones de Shedd Aquarium: Nueva exposición: ¡AMPHIBIANS! La nueva exposición llamada “Amphibians” abre el 16 de Mayo y su acceso va incluido en el precio de la entrada. Verá 40 especies diferentes de ranas y salamandras desde su ciclo de vida hasta sus adaptaciones para vivir en cada ecosistema de la Tierra. Descubra cómo de grande puede llegar a ser un problema para los anfibios – y cómo puede ayudarlos a hacer frente a estos grandes cambios. Waters of the World Viaje a 80 hábitats diferentes.

Visite grandes y pequeños ríos y aprenda más sobre nuestras aguas en la exhibición de ‘At Home on the Great Lakes’.

Caribbean Reef Haga un recorrido 360º por una comunidad de arrecifes bajo el agua. Siga a las tortugas marinas verdes, contemple desde muy cerca peces loro y tiburones. Amazon Rising Haga un viaje exótico por la Amazonia, hogar de un tercio de todos los seres vivos. Tenga cuidado con las anacondas y pirañas, rayas y caimanes camuflados. Vea como los animales, plantas y personas de la región se adaptan a las crecidas y bajadas anuales del agua. Oceanário Abbott Oceanário Abbot le sumerge en el vibrante ecosistema de las ballenas beluga, los delfines de flanco blanco, las nutrias de mar y los leones de mar. También podrá observar multitud de peces e invertebrados que viven donde los flujos de agua dulce entran en el océano. Use nuestro mapa para descubrir cómo se vinculan los animales entre ellos, a sus hábitats y a nosotros mismos. La Zona de Juego Polar Los niños tienen su propio lugar en el Acuario Shedd, 'La Zona de Juego Polar'. ¿Qué le gustaría ser? ¿Un pingüino deslizante y elegante? ¿Un explorador de aguas profundas? ¿Qué tal las dos cosas? En la Zona de Juego Polar puede disfrazarse de pingüino y fingir ser un pájaro en el Área de Juego Icy Sur. Desde allí puede dirigirse al Área de Juego Icy North para explorar las aguas del ártico en submarino. No se olvide de tocar las coloridas estrellas de mar en las piscinas. En la Zona de Juego Polar los niños aprenderán acerca de los polos opuestos- grande y pequeño, rápido y lento, superficial y profundo- e incluso sobre el norte y el sur, todo esto mientras juegan y se divierten.
What to look out for at Windsor Castle There’s so much to see at Windsor Castle, it’s hard to know where to begin! Here are some of our favourite attractions from the tour: The State Apartments: Windsor Castle’s lavishly decorated State Apartments hold a large collection of fine art and paintings that are stunning to behold. If you visit between September and March, you’ll be able to explore the Semi-State Rooms, which were created for George VI and are now used by The Queen for official entertaining. St George’s Chapel: In the grounds of Windsor Castle, you’ll find St. George’s Chapel, an active centre of worship, where Prince Edward was married and Henry VIII was laid to rest. Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House: Another must-see attraction at Windsor Castle is Queen Mary’s world-famous Dolls’ House, complete with working lifts, water and electricity supply! It has its own library, full of original works by the top literary names of the day, as well as a beautiful garden and a wine cellar. Changing the Guard: This spectacular ceremony begins as the Windsor Castle Guard line up outside the Guard Room, until a regimental band, corps of drums or pipe band heralds the entrance of the new Guard. This 45-minute ceremony is part of London’s patriotic culture and is the ultimate spectacle to witness when you visit Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle facts Windsor Castle was Queen Victoria’s main place of residence. After Prince Albert passed away, she was often referred to as ‘the Widow of Windsor’. During World War II, the Royal Family secretly slept in Windsor Castle. The public believed they were sleeping in Buckingham Palace during this time. There was a huge fire at Windsor Castle in November 1992, damaging more than 100 rooms. The restoration cost almost million. The castle’s Great Kitchen is home to a whisk that can hold up to 250 eggs at a time, and the cellar holds around 18,000 bottles of wine. The clocks in the Great Kitchen are always 5 minutes fast, so that the Queen’s food is never served late. Tickets purchased through 365 Tickets cannot be converted to a 1-year pass Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen. The Castle's dramatic site encapsulates 900 years of British history. It covers an area of 26 acres and contains, as well as a royal palace, a magnificent chapel and the homes and workplaces of a large number of people. What there is to see: The magnificent State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and the famous triple portrait of Charles I by Sir Anthony van Dyck. In 1992 fire destroyed or damaged more than 100 rooms at the Castle. By good fortune the rooms worst affected were empty at the time, and as a result, few of the Castle's artistic treasures were destroyed. The highly acclaimed restoration work, completed in 1997, is a testament to the extraordinary skills of some of the finest craftsmen in Europe. From October to March visitors can also enjoy George IV's private apartments (the Semi-State Rooms), among the most richly decorated interiors in the Castle. St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. It is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the senior order of British Chivalry established in 1348 by Edward III. Within the chapel are the tombs of ten sovereigns, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour, and Charles I. Among the highlights of a visit to Windsor is Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the most famous dolls' house in the world.
