Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory: The Domes
Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory: The Domes Review
The trio of iconic 85-foot-high glass domes hold within them spectacular plant and flower specimens of desert and tropics, as well as seasonal displays in the Show Dome. During the winter, evenings get festive with light shows that sparkle off the domes. Young visitors should grab a scavenger hunt map that encourages them to identify various flora and fauna.
