The Mitchell Park Conservatory, a.k.a. "The Domes", is located in Milwaukee, WI, USA.  It is a horticultural masterpiece showcasing plants from around the world.

There are 3 "domes" that display world plants: 1) The SHOW dome....displays are constantly changing with the seasons; 2) The ARID dome features dry and desert plants; 3) The TROPICAL dome features plants that are tropical in nature....equatorial, if you will.
