They have three domes, a floral dome / show dome, a desert dome, and a tropical dome. The show dome has a train that goes around and it's great for kids, my child was entertained for a while.

We were able to see all 3 domes in an hour: Show Dome, Tropical Dome, and Desert Dome. Compared to the Desert Dome in the Omaha Zoo, these domes were smaller. Nevertheless, these domes have varied plants from different parts of the world which were amazing to see. The Show Dome has a small short bridge and a gazebo which were nice areas to take pictures. A small gift shop sells some small plants, magnets, shirts, jewelry, pins, etc. Overall, it's a good place to visit.

This is a great addition to the budding Harbor District, next to UWM's Freshwater Sciences building. A few bike lock stations and a bubbler and a bottle fill station make it a nice pit stop on a ride. Iron gates with art, open up to a seasonal kayak launch. Perhaps a straight shot kayak launch with less obstacles and right angles is needed here. I was in the area picking up a DIY fall river cleanup kit from Milwaukee Riverkeeper, who would probably appreciate a helping hand with occasional debris, if you spot it. It takes all of us, sometimes. There's nice signage of individual and corporate sponsors, who helped make this plaza a reality, and help keep making Milwaukee a great place on a Great Lake.

This is perhaps one of the oldest parks in the city and was given to the city by George Walker (no…read morerelation to George Walker Bush and family), one of the Founding Fathers of Milwaukee as what was to be the centerpiece of his settlement (imagine the area before 1-94). This park has seen better days to be sure, but has changed with the times to offer a wading pool for kids with ample benches for parents, and a new (2013) playground for kids. The comfort station needs work, and I am saddened to see that the fountain was removed in the late 20th century. The park hosts a farmer's market most of the warm season (several days a week) and many of the vendors are Hmong families offering Latin, and old style Midwestern veggies as well as some Asian exotics as well. This is a great place to bring kids if you need a break! The wading pool, and new playground are truly amazing for the babies on board set. I wish it had more benches not attached to the play pond for kids since it is sometimes hard to come here and have a nice lunch on the 1 or 2 benches. I love that it is still very much a square on the West and South Sides of the park where 19th century homes (some in great shape, and some needing work) circle the park. As one of the oldest parks in the city/county, and one of the few given to the people of Milwaukee by a founding father I feel this park should see investment due to its historical importance. Still, it is a great place for a midday picnic (bring your own blanket).

Two problems are that the school takes up all the public parking around the park on school days into the evening, and in the morning and the afternoon the parent traffic chokes the immediate vicinity. A second weakness are these strange non-functional exercise machines in a poor state of disrepair, quite the eyesore.

This one has been transforming over the past few years, it's become almost a sculpture garden (not enough sculptures to be a true sculpture garden), almost a summer music venue (not enough live music to be listed as a music venue), and they took out my favorite picnic table, but they are constructing and planting an interesting central tiered planter flower box. Well I assume those will be flowers, any way that's now where I set for tiffin lunches, weather permitting.
