CHICAGO — It was once the world’s tallest building, and it continues to be the king of Chicago’s skyline.

Now, the Willis (Sears) Tower is celebrating a monumental birthday in a big way.

The Skydeck celebrates its 50th anniversary this week, kicking things off with a ‘Golden Ticket Scavenger Hunt.’

Golden envelopes will be strategically placed across the city each month, with vouchers for tickets to the Skydeck inside.

Clues will be released on the Skydeck’s Instagram page.
