The Domes

The Friends of the Domes welcome you to the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, also known as "The Domes".

The Friends of the Domes is a support group whose purpose is to enhance projects and programs in the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory.

The Domes, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are the world's only conoidal glass houses.

The Climates

The three Domes are home to flowers and plants from tropical and arid locations around the world. These architecturally unique structures are filled with plants and animals from different climates.

Each Dome is almost a half of a football field wide and seven stories tall.

In the moist air of the Tropical Dome, you will experience 1,200 species of tropical plants.

The Desert Dome represents the deserts of the world with plants grouped by geographic locations.
