The Show Dome is on the move again, literally. Now until March 22, the Show Dome at the Milwaukee Mitchell Park Domes is doing a train display for everyone to enjoy.

We walked into the show dome, and saw many people gathered around on the walk paths watching and enjoying the different types of trains going around.
