I think spending some time walking around the gardens before or after visiting the tower is totally worth it. The flowers and sculptures are beautiful and quieter than the tower itself.

My advice is to visit in the morning, like around 9 AM. There were way fewer people, and I got stunning photos without too many strangers in the background.

Don't forget to bring cash for the elevator ride; I didn't realize it was cash-only, which was a bit annoying. Just a heads up so you won't be caught off-guard!

I suggest taking the hike up to Coit Tower instead of driving; the walk is worth it and you'll enjoy the views along the way. Just wear comfy shoes, since the hill is steep!
