The Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, known locally as The Domes, features three towering glass-domed greenhouses, each with a distinct climate: a desert dome with cacti and succulents, a tropical dome with lush foliage and a waterfall, and a seasonal floral dome that changes with holidays and themes. Visitors can stroll through these living landscapes, enjoying a warm escape in winter or a lush retreat year-round. The Domes are a Milwaukee landmark and a serene horticultural experience.
