Skydeck Chicago opens to the public on the 2nd of July 2009. The glass-floored architecture is located on the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower. The see-through balconies protrude 4 feet from the building and are 1,353 above the street. While the clear glass decks may be a bit frightening, they offer spectacular views of the city below.

Trendhunter reported on the project earlier this year and now that it’s done, wants to share the views!

An unmatched view is not all the Skydeck offers. From the moment visitors arrive they enjoy interactive and educational attractions that not only highlight the iconic landmark, but also celebrate Chicago’s sports, architecture, pop-culture, history, food, music and people. (theskydeck)
