The John Hancock Center is a 100-story tower that was the tallest building in the world outside New York City when it was opened in 1968; currently it is the sixth-tallest building in the United States. It houses the world's highest swimming pool and will soon house the world's highest skating rink. The building overlooks Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States and largest city in Illinois. The John Hancock Center is far from the tallest building in the city; the country's tallest building, the Willis Tower, is also located in Chicago.
