Why you should go…

The Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, known as the Domes, is a trio of conical glass domes in Milwaukee built between 1959 and 1967. The Tropical Dome holds nearly 1,000 plant species, including a cacao tree transplanted from the city's earlier conservatory. The Desert Dome gathers plants from the Americas, Africa and Madagascar, and the Show Dome changes its themed displays through the year. One ticket covers all three.
