MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele today announced that the Tropical Dome is again open to the public.

Work to install mesh safety netting at the Tropical Dome, a short-term fix to ensure the safety of the public and Domes employees as the County explores a long-term solution to the challenges at the Domes, was completed on September 23^rd.  Work is also underway at the Desert Dome, which is expected to reopen in early November.

A grand reopening event for all three Domes, sponsored by a generous donation from Northwestern Mutual, is being planned for early December.

And at the Show Dome, which reopened ahead of schedule on April 29^th, the Fall Harvest Festival seasonal floral display featuring chrysanthemums is running through November 6^th.

At the show guests will experience a stroll through the country. The farm-like setting includes scarecrows, cornstalks, and hay bales as well as a pumpkin patch. Antique farming implements will be seen throughout the show.

Creating a blanket of yellow-gold, honey, orange-bronze, and red are a variety of mums. Other plants lending color and texture to the landscape are Swiss chard, dwarf sunflower, ‘Ruby Moon’ hyacinth bean, and ornamental peppers, millet, and kale.
