About this event
Tour the Rockefeller Chapel Carillon Tower for an up-close view of a campus treasure. Walk the catwalks in the chapel’s attic, visit the tower’s mechanical room to see the electropneumatic hour chime machine, experience the largest bell (37,000 pounds of bronze) up close, witness a demonstration of how the carillon is played, and visit the roof for a 360-degree view of Chicago. The 271-step spiral staircase is taken at a leisurely pace and is not recommended for anyone who may be afraid of heights or claustrophobic. Children are welcome if they can make it up the stairs and are accompanied by an adult.
