Watch the spectacular sunset from 1,000 ft, or go up at night to see Chicago shining in lights. You'll see why John Hancock Observatory has been voted Chicago's best view.
Located in the heart of the city, the observatory is just steps from the most fabulous shopping, theatre, restaurants and bars in Chicago. They don't call it The Magnificent Mile® for nothing, so take a look at what's going on (and off) near John Hancock Observatory.

Find out why Chicago is called the Windy City as you step outside the building at 1,000 ft up. Ahhh, breathe in that fresh air.
The award-winning Lavazza Espression café lets you take in the amazing floor-to-ceiling views while sipping on a delicious Italian coffee (or cheeky cocktail) - and there's gelato for the kids! With a menu designed by a Michelin star chef, why not dine at 1,000 ft too?
Sparkling Chicago is not available to the general public site, only as a pre bookable ticket.
This product includes a half-bottle of sparking wile and is for adults only, minimum age 21. Photo ID may be required.
TOUR DETAILS
The Hoover Dam stands as a tribute to US ingenuity and engineering during a time of adversity and hardship. On the Hoover Dam Classic Guided Tour, you’ll gain remarkable views on, around and above this National Civil Engineering Landmark.
Your Certified Interpretive Guide will pick you up at your hotel in a custom Pink Adventure Tour Trekker vehicle, designed to provide comfort and unobstructed views. You’ll see Lake Mead, the country’s largest man-made reservoir, and historic Boulder City, built to house dam workers. A visit to the Boulder Dam Museum inside the Boulder Dam Hotel gives the first look at the Hoover Dam story.
The Hoover Dam is the shining gem of our tour; standing over 700 feet tall, it has the capacity to irrigate two million acres and provides power to southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Built over 4 years during the Great Depression, its creation provided thousands of jobs.
A short walk on the 900-feet-tall Michael O’Callaghan—Pat Tillman Bridge provides a bird’s-eye view of the Dam; this is a view of the mighty dam as it holds back Lake Mead.
Your Tour Trekker will then take you to the Arizona side of the dam, where you’ll see a spillway so large a World War II battleship could float through it; each spillway can handle the flow of Niagara Falls. The Hoover Dam is a National Historic Landmark, and has been a filming location for Hollywood hits like “Superman” (1978, Warner Bros.), “Viva La Vegas” (1964, MGM) and “Transformers” (2007, DreamWorks).
Then, you can even walk along the dam itself.
Whether you enjoy our Hoover Dam Classic Guided Tour in the morning or afternoon, you’ll never forget a visit to this engineering marvel. Our luxurious transportation and knowledgeable guides make this a trip custom-made for photo ops and lasting memories.
