Milwaukee, WI — Loki, Medusa, and Merlin aren’t just legendary beings—they’re fantastical plants in this fall’s magical, horticultural experience at the Mitchell Park Domes! From September 20 through November 9, 2025, visitors are invited to wander through the Mythical Menagerie Fall Show, where an enchanting landscape of hundreds of chrysanthemums sets the stage for awe-inspiring mythical sculptures.
Guests will be spellbound as they explore the Show Dome this fall:

  • A fiery phoenix rising among the golden blooms
  • An extraordinary alicorn (a winged unicorn) soaring above vibrant colors
  • A majestic celestial dragon weaving through the chrysanthemums

“This year’s fall show brings mythical creatures to life through the beauty of plants,” said Doris Maki, Horticultural Director at the Mitchell Park Domes. “From fiery blooms to fantastical sculptures, visitors of all ages will be immersed in a magical landscape that sparks imagination and wonder.”

The Domes’ Fall Show is a long-standing Milwaukee tradition, drawing visitors from across the region to celebrate seasonal beauty and artistic design. The 2025 show, Mythical Menagerie, blends natural artistry with horticulture and fantasy, creating a one-of-a-kind experience that is both family-friendly and Instagram-worthy.
