Breathtaking views from above the Niagara gorge. The blue waters and rapids are truly unique. Lots of stairs but also a flat trail along the top of the gorge.

Truly a sight to behold. Even the structure and architecture of this building is as breathtaking as the plants it holds. I went during a specific exhibit of carnivorous plants, so fun! I love that art is included and they support local artists.

I would eat Indian every day of the week if I could. The tikka masala is great with varying levels of spice making it customizable. Their naan is the best ever.
