Then a special lunch will be served at Macy’s on the historic 7th floor in the Walnut Room where Chicagoans have eaten for generations. This is truly a lunch to remember! After lunch we are off to the Skydeck, where we will travel 103 stories at the Willis Tower to experience grand views of the Chicago area. If you are brave enough you can step out on “the Ledge,” a glass box extending out 4.3 feet from the Skydeck and 1,343 feet off the ground! Afterwards, we will experience Teatro ZinZanni, an original form of entertainment combining a unique fusion of cirque, comedy, cabaret, spectacle, and live music all the while serving up a multi-course feast.
