TRAVEL GUIDE

Milwaukee SUV Rental and the John Hancock Observatory

Towering high above the Chicago city streets is a tourist destination unlike the rest. Climbing out of your Milwaukee SUV rental at the foot of the John Hancock Observatory, you'll need to twist your neck upwards to view this monstrous building. Standing 100 stories and 1,127 feet high, the John Hancock Observatory was completed in 1969. Today, the Hancock Observatory is the fifth tallest building in the United States and one of Chicago's top tourist destinations. On your next Milwaukee SUV rental excursion, climb to the top of the Hancock Observatory and enjoy the skywalk, soundscope, history wall, and take a memorable photograph or two. With magnificent views of 4 states, open your eyes to a breathtaking experience atop the John Hancock Observatory when you travel with Mayfair Milwaukee SUV rental.

Sky high views for basement low prices

Traveling into the city in your Milwaukee SUV rental, you'll see the John Hancock Observatory towering over the city from miles away. Climbing to the top of the Observatory to view the Magnificent Mile, Lake Michigan, and four states is the only way to view the city and surrounding area. This sky high experience is an outstanding bargain costing only $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, $9 for youth, and for children under 4, it's free. The price of admission also includes a complimentary Sky Tour. The Observatory is open from 9am until 11pm daily. Located at 875 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, the John Hancock Observatory is easy to find in your Milwaukee SUV rental. Once you've arrived, discover a starry sky, the majestically lit Chicago skyline, and a breathtaking view of the shoreline below.

Take a walk in the clouds

After you've soaked in the sensational views (which could take a while), it's time to explore the rest of the John Hancock Observatory. Talk a walk in the clouds and feel the air rush across your face on the Observatory's skywalk. 94-stories above the streets you can step to the edge and discover why Chicago is known as the Windy City. As you drive away in your Milwaukee SUV rental, roll down the windows and keep that Windy City feeling alive. After visiting the skywalk, listen to the soundscope talking telescopes. Available in four languages, the talking telescopes will give you a guided tour of the city from each corner of the Observatory. As you walk through the halls of the John Hancock Observatory, continue your history lesson of Chicago as you view the 80-foot history wall. The history wall is a series of murals retracing the city's rise to its current state. On your next Mayfair Milwaukee SUV rental vacation, enjoy your day above the Windy City at the John Hancock Observatory.

Don't visit on an empty stomach

Do heights make you queasy? No? Well then, do you enjoy sightseeing on an empty stomach? Likely not. Before descending from the Chicago skyline, enjoy a delicious snack and a revitalizing coffee at the Cafe Espression by Lavazza. Winner of the 2008 Grand Award for Restaurant Design, Cafe Espression is not only a treat for your palate; it's a treat for your eyes as well. Dine 1,000 feet above the city streets on award winning dishes masterfully prepared for you. Don't climb back into your Milwaukee SUV rental with an empty stomach; fill up at the John Hancock Observatory.
