We spent half a day perusing the Botanical Garden.  There is also a Butterfly conservatory there, but we skipped that this trip. Here are some general photos of the gardens and the school there.                  

We paid $10 each and went up into the Skylon tower observation level.  It is 525 ft high and has a restaurant on top with the observation deck above that.  At night the top of the tower spins so the diners can get alternate views of the falls (they are lit with diff colored lights at night, no pics, they didn't turn out) and view the city lights.  There is a $36 minimum per person for supper but lunch is cheaper.  If you're a tourist you can get away with casual dress but mos...
