    We recently went to the top of the tower with our young kids. They loved the glass floor and the incredible views! We also used the new electronic tour guide that they have a available. They are very cool and easy enough that my 4 year old was able to use them. They provided some interesting narratives of the city and its past.

    It was a nice visit with the family. The glass floor was very scary for us all but we managed to take a picture. Enjoyed seeing the picture comparisons with each view and seeing the city now and seeing it when perhaps I first saw it. Oh the change!
