Four Famous Glass Floors and Reasons to Get the Look

You may have seen photos of trendy glass floor designs on the internet or even experienced seeing and walking across a glass floor for yourself while shopping, browsing in a museum or going for a ride on a glass bottom boat tour. The following major tourist attractions not only helped to enhance the reputation of this one-of-kind design feature, but have inspired other commercial and residential buildings across the world to follow their footsteps along the same (glass) path.

• Willis Tower in Chicago, Illinois: Also known as “The Ledge,” the glass flooring on the 103^rd floor of this iconic building offers breathtaking views of the Windy City.
• Skywalk in the Grand Canyon: Simple photos of the Grand Canyon are enough to leave people across the world in awe, but to see its jaw-dropping beauty in person from this amazing glass bridge is an even more mind-blowing experience, making it the most popular tourist attraction at the Canyon.
• The CN Tower in Toronto: With its towering 1,122 foot view to the city below, this stunning glass floor is stronger than you may think—built to withstand the weight of 14 large hippos, according to its website.
