Never seen a movie in a place like that before and it's pretty unique. Saw a movie there last Tuesday with family. We signed up for the membership and go tickets for about $7 each which is pretty good. There's a lot more space that I was expecting in each theater, and our movie was packed. Definitely going to consider getting tickets online next time so we can get better seats. I recommend this spot if you live in the area and want to see a movie!!

It was more than just seeing the beautiful Rookery Building. It was very interesting to learn about the historical significance of the building and the architects involved with its design. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was excellent and her passion about the topic was clear. The tour is well-worth the time, and you are taken to see the Oriel Staircase and the Burnham Library at the upper levels.

So much detail everywhere yet beautifully balanced. It's Chicago's oldest high rise, the lobby updated by Frank Lloyd Wright. A private tour will take you up the circular staircase and second lobby level. Hoping to tour on my next visit. There's a small Frank Lloyd Wright gift shop on the ground level. Space is available for private events. I hope those who work here in the businesses never lose appreciation of its beauty. If you're a tourist who visits the nearby Money Museum, stop by The Rookery and prepare to be amazed!

#Chicago #flyforfun #friends #yelpfriends…read more So, we did all the touristy things and the Skydeck was one of stops. Located in the Willis Tower (formerly Sear Tower) you will find Skydeck. Take the escalator DOWN a few levels to get to the ticket agent. Here is my tip: Pay an extra $20 for the Expedited Line. Why? You won't be wasting your time, standing in line to take the elevator up 100+ floors. (the wait can turn into many minutes if not an hour...) Couple that with your wait when you get up the 100+ floors. The line you wait in for your photo op is an Expedited Line as well. You are given 2 minutes to take your pictures. With an Expedited Line Ticket you can return to the entry line and go back in for more pics.... A once in a life time journey for me but what a fantastic panoramic view from north to the south to the east and then to the west. A fantastic way to view Chicago and get your bearings for the rest of your visit. When you get back down to ground level; there are eateries in the Willis located on the street level.

Once you check in, you go through a museum-like walkthrough that covers Chicago's history as well as the history of the Sears/Willis Tower. There are also plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures along the way. Once you reach the end of the walkthrough, you head up 103 floors to the Skydeck. As soon as I walked in, I was honestly blown away. Even though the building was once the tallest in the world, it's still such an incredible experience to see the entire city of Chicago from that high up. The skyline is absolutely breathtaking, and you can even see Lake Michigan from the top. It also wasn't too crowded when I went, which made the experience even better. I was able to do the Ledge as well, where you can step out onto the glass and take pictures and videos. You get up to 90 seconds when it's your turn, and you can get back in line if you want to go again. Everything was exactly as described, and I'm so glad I got to visit again for the second time as an adult. I also got my ticket through CityPASS Chicago, and the whole process was super smooth with no hiccups. Definitely one of the highlights of my Chicago trip and a place I'd recommend checking out, especially if it's your first time in the city!

There are benches along the way as well as people sitting stairs to rest. It is about a mile + to walk. The Chicago Riverwalk starts at Lake Michigan (near Lake Shore Drive) on the east and ends at Lake Street on the west. It takes between 20 to 30 minutes to walk it without any stopping.

We visited around 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and it was already becoming very crowded. The walkway was easy to navigate, but the number of people made it feel much less peaceful. Even the river itself was busy with tour boats and other traffic. We stopped at The Northman but skipped trying anywhere else because of the crowds. I would visit earlier in the day or on a weekday for a more relaxed experience. After seeing how busy it was, I also decided I would rather rent a boat and cruise along the river than fight the weekend crowds on foot. The Riverwalk is worth experiencing, but your timing will significantly affect how much you enjoy it.

It replaced Arclight which was in a decline. The cinema had been renovated 2 years ago. It was a Thursday afternoon, and the cinema was pretty quiet. There were big kiosks for ticket purchases, and the process was quick and easy. We got a small bag (which was not too small) for $10 plus tax, a little pricy for popcorn, but it was good. The popcorn guy was friendly, and he also doubled as the guy to collect our ticket stubs, and informed us which cinema room to go to. We were there for the preview of the movie, and we got the entire cinema #5 to the 3 of us! While the lobby and hallways of the cinema was nice and cool, this room was a little too warm. We totally understood that they would not cool down an entire room when there was no audience inside. I went to talk to the popcorn guy about the air temperature issue, and he promised to have it adjusted. As I went back to the cinema room. We could feel that cool air started to come out, and it was comfortable for the rest of the showing. The chairs were big, clean, and comfortable. Sound and picture were great. The movie itself was enjoyable just like the first time, and the English dubbing was perfect. The entire cinema was very clean. I was especially pleased with their restrooms being spotless clean. There is a bar in the lobby, and across from it was the biggest poster I've ever seen in a cinema lobby, it was a colorful digital poster of Ne Zha 2, very appropriate for such a spectacular movie. When we left the cinema after seeing the movie, there was another guy at the hallway collecting ticket stubs, and there was obviously more audience coming in. We enjoyed this cinema experience very much, and would definitely return to see other movies in the future.

When we arrived in the morning, the cashier told us that we should wait in the afternoon and hopefully, the sky cleared up. So, we bought the 2pm tickets. Luckily, the fog was gone by 2 pm and the sky cleared up. There were lots of photo props before we entered the elevator. Once we were at the top, there were several spots to experience the Ledge but we had to line up. The line looked long but it moved relatively quick because each family was only given 90 seconds to take pictures on there. Yeah, it was way too little time but you can actually rejoin the line if you're still want to take more picture. Overall, it was a very cool experience to be standing on the glass floor on Ledge!

Easy train and bus access. OK, here is the story- CLOUD GATE is the official name of this sculpture, nicknamed THE BEAN, and it is located in MILLENNIUM PARK, adjoining GRAINGER PARK.... so there!
