http://www.skyviewobservatory.com and apparently $12.50 now. I vaguely recall it's about 3 times the height of the space needle.
That would probably also be pretty good to visit. I've not been there myself. Even with once spending over a month on Jury Duty just across the street, and going most days to the food circus on the ground floor for lunch.
Both the Smith Tower
