 Most famous for its amazing sky-high views of the city’s celebrated lakefront and skyline, the John Hancock Observatory takes the meaning of ‘winter wonderland’ to a whole new level––literally! For the second year in a row, guests can skate above the Magnificent Mile, at more than 1,000 feet in the sky, alongside family and friends on an intimate synthetic ice-skating rink, with Skating in the Sky. No matter how big or small, this exiting wintertime activity promises fun for the entire family. 875 N. Michigan, 94th Fl. 888/875-VIEW. Or grab your coats, scarves, and skates (if you have them), and head outside for a few memorable laps around Millennium Park’s McCormick Tribune Ice Rink. Breathtaking cityscape and the Park’s stunning seamless bean-shaped sculpture by Anish Kapoor, titled Cloud Gate, will be the backdrop to your day of figure eights and fun. The seasonal ice-skating rink attracts over 100,000 skaters annually with its convenient downtown location at the corner of Madison Street and Michigan Avenue. Admission is free; skate rentals are available for $10 and on-site bath- rooms, concessions and lockers are just a few strides away. 312/742-1168. CommentsLeave a Reply |
