A few weekends ago, I got to take some kids from work on an outing to the Milwaukee domes. I had never been before, but always heard good things.
Parking was an absolute nightmare. I'm not sure if it is always that way or was just because we came during Germanfest. After circling the lots like a hawk for twenty minutes we were finally able to ins a spot ( thanks to our handy handicapped tag !).
We were immediately greeted by German song and dance in the lobby area. We zigzagged our way to the first dome, the rainforest dome. What a treat in the middle of winter. Upon walking in the humidity warms you. You can take off your jacket and imagine walking through a rainforest somewhere. It was the closest thing I've felt to paradise lately. I'm not sure why I only took one picture of that dome. Maybe the kids were acting up. I cannot remember.
The second dome was a desert scene. I took the most pictures here. The cacti and plants were just so exotic to me on that day. I couldn't resist. The kids enjoyed touching the plants that were safe to touch and we heard nothing but giggles.
The third dome is a seasonal type dome that was filled with the Germanfest activities. In the center of the dome was a giant train set. I have to admit the detail was quite impressive. We spent a long time watching the train lazily make its rounds.
All in all it was a great day. A fantastic way to beat the winter blues and experience something new.
