5. Skylon Tower
The Skylon Tower starts with the ‘Ride to the Top’ in a glass-enclosed elevator which provides a smooth, 52-second trip to the expansive observation deck.

A 1,022sq metre greenhouse setting that has over 2,000 butterflies floating freely among lush tropical plants and greenery.
7. Rainbow Bridge
The Rainbow Bridge, officially the Niagara Falls International Rainbow Bridge, connects the cities of Niagara Falls and New York. The bridge is named for the fact that you can often see a rainbow over the Falls which are just upstream from the bridge.
