Mitchell Park Domes Horticulture Conservatory - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Maryna Bilotserkivets

Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory is an absolutely wonderful place to visit! Whether you’re coming with family, kids, or just friends, it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone.

We had such a great time exploring the beautiful displays and learning about different plants. The atmosphere is relaxing, educational, and fun, making it perfect for all ages.

I highly recommend checking out the gift shop during your visit. It has a fantastic selection of themed books for children about plants and nature—such a thoughtful addition to the experience!

This place is a true gem and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the beauty of plants and a peaceful environment.

This place consists of 3 massive greenhouse domes - desert, tropical, and show. Though it was about 5 degrees outside, the tropical dome was about 72. Inside are a massive variety of plants, flowers and trees. Wonderful place to visit in the winter because it’s like being transported. The desert dome was equally interesting. The show dome had a train set running through it. This place is reasonable priced and a good place to take kids.

Really cool conservatory and definitely worth coming to. Each dome had a different theme being “tropical” “desert” and “show. They were all obviously beautiful and the tropical plants are always my favorite. That being said, I’ve been visiting a lot of conservatories recently and others have more variety of more uncommon plants. Other conservatories also have more informational signs to read in the plant area, which keeps my fiance preoccupied while I look and I have a clearer understanding of what is what

Love the domes so much I had to get a membership , admission fee is not pricey. Always clean and great atmosphere. I made it to the Christmas light show was blown away with the quality of the light show definitely a must see. Can’t forget to stop at the gift shop to find some quality plant related gifts at great prices.

This place is a hidden gem of the city. So fun with the kids and there are 3 distinct domes that each have a different theme. The kiddos loved checking out the different kinds of cacti and we learned about different holidays in one of the domes. It's reasonably priced and a great little winter activity to keep the kids busy. The staff was friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back!

Plants, trains, and flowers! O my! What a wonderful place to go , especially on a cold winters day. Very cool steam punk exhibit in the train dome and a few fairy houses here and there.

The conservatory is wonderful and a fantastic place to visit, especially in winter. Each dome is stunning! For my fellow birdwatchers, you can spot some doves in the desert dome and house sparrows in the tropical dome, complete with a bird feeder!

If you are a plant lover, this place is a dream come true. The size of the trees and cactus are incredible to see. Where else can you see a completely domed tropical garden with 60' tall trees? The design of the gardens is incredible, with the smaller plants growing under the leaves of taller/larger ones, mimicking their natural setting. The winding paths make you feel like you are in a much larger enclosure and maximize the plants that you are able to enjoy.

It doesn't take too long to make your way through here and the ticket price is worth it. I suggest planning on visiting a couple local sites when you visit with a meal in-between to add to a nice relaxed day.
