Admission covers all three domes; during show changeovers only the Desert and Tropical domes are open at full price. Children can also use the Domes Education Center, open to the public on weekends and some weekdays, with interactive nature activities. Strollers are welcome but some paths are tight for double-wides. Parking is free year-round. Tickets are sold at the door only. ## Similar picks in Milwaukee - [Holiday Show at the Mitchell Park Domes](https://grassyknees.com/milwaukee/activities/holiday-show-at-the-mitchell-park-domes--listing-737a7dbdda4395a03d425ae0) — Nov 21 – Jan 3 · 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM · Mitchell Park Domes · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 24.
