For the Birds Spring Floral Show at the Domes

Wisconsin / April 25, 2017

The spring floral show, For the Birds, is up and running at the Mitchell Park Domes through May 29! As always, the Domes did a fabulous job with their featured seasonal show. The flowers are so colorful, and the birds scattered throughout the exhibit add such a sweet touch. A local organization donated the bird feeders and bird houses for the exhibit.

The flowers featured include blue hydrangeas, white Easter lilies, multicolored tulips, and forget-me-nots as well as flowering crabapple trees. (Thank you to the Domes Facebook page for providing this information because I don’t know the names of most flowers.) The birds featured are native to Wisconsin and include robins, red-tailed hawks, mourning doves, loons, and grackles. If you visit with kids, you can pick up scavenger hunt sheets to help you find the different flowers and birds.

The Great Train Robbery Train Show at the Domes

Wisconsin / March 9, 2017

The annual model train show is taking place at the Mitchell Park Domes through the end of March 2017. The Domes always feature the trains between the holiday floral show and the spring floral show. It’s a lot of fun and just perfect for winter and early spring when we’re all looking for something to do outside of the house that doesn’t involve freezing outdoors. The theme for the current train show is The Great Train Robbery. They decked out the entire dome in an old West theme. I love it.

Not a Creature Was Stirring Holiday Floral Show at the Domes

Wisconsin / December 27, 2016

The holiday floral show, Not a Creature Was Stirring, is taking place at the Mitchell Park Domes through early January 2017. The domes always do a fabulous job putting together their seasonal shows. The 16-17 holiday floral show is no exception. For the theme, Not a Creature Was Stirring, they placed lots of little animals among the Christmas trees and other holiday decorations. Really cute.

The 16-17 Holiday Floral Show runs through early January 2017. The Mitchell Park Domes are always free on Monday mornings from 9:00 a.m.-noon except major holidays for Milwaukee County residents. Consult the website for more details about current hours and admission.

Fall Harvest Festival Floral Show at the Domes

Wisconsin / October 18, 2016

The Fall Harvest Festival floral show is taking place at the Mitchell Park Domes through early November 2016. The domes always do a fabulous job putting together their seasonal shows. The current show is no exception.

The Domes reopened the Tropical Dome last month. I have dozens and dozens of pictures of the Tropical Dome, but of course, I couldn’t resist taking a few more.

The waterfall in the Tropical Domes is one of my all-time favorite spots in Milwaukee.

The Fall Harvest Festival show runs through Sunday, November 6. The Mitchell Park Domes are always free on Monday mornings from 9:00 a.m.-noon except major holidays for Milwaukee County residents. Due to the continued limited Domes access, general admission is just $5 until all three domes reopen. Children age 5 and under get in for free.

Summer on Olympus Floral Show at the Domes

Wisconsin / July 18, 2016

The Mitchell Park Domes reopened their Show Dome on April 29! The conservatory was closed through most of the winter and early spring due to some ongoing structural issues. You can read more about it over here. It may still be years before the Domes are fully reopened, but I’m very glad they’ve found a way to continue to run their seasonal floral shows and that they’re finally working toward a long-term plan for full restoration. I always enjoy their seasonal floral shows and am excited to share a little peek at Summer on Olympus here today.

Summer on Olympus runs through Sunday, September 11, 2016. The Michell Park Domes are always free on Monday mornings from 9:00 a.m.-noon except major holidays for Milwaukee County residents. Due to the limited Domes access, general admission is just $3 until all three domes reopen. Children 5 and under get in for free.
