The tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States, the 1,149-foot tower consists of an outdoor deck at the 869-foot level (where you'll find many a sunbather in May) and an indoor deck at the 857-foot level. Termed a "pod," the indoor deck rests on three legs. Because of this, the glass angles outward; those afraid of heights are better off on the outdoor deck. A bank of elevators takes beams guests up to the pod at a dizzying 1,800 feet a minute.
