Q.B.

Nov 4, 2022

There are 3 domes - the Show Dome (pictured - apparently they renew this particular dome regularly but unsure of how often), the Desert dome, and the Tropical Dome. It was priced at $8 for adults, which is a very reasonable price to be able to take a walk through the curated climates. As of late October 2022 the Show Dome is decked out in a reading theme, perfect to bring the little ones to.

A museum of botanical beauty. The first time I went, I was fascinated with the different plants and exhibits with so many exotic plants and trees, bearing fruit, leaves and thorns. Even a black pepper plant was grown on display. But, it wasn't until the second time I went, that I enjoyed the Domes as I woulda slow Sunday stroll. No rush or direction. Just sat on the benches and enjoyed the smells, the colors and different shades of green. Read the small cards next to some of the plants that have significantly changed or impacted the world like the pepper plant, banana tree, orange tree or coconut tree. Go and just relax. It's a change from the concrete jungle that humans have become accustomed to growing.
