The Climatron is a geodesic dome greenhouse located within the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Opened in 1960, it was the first geodesic dome to be used as a conservatory and covers approximately half an acre. The structure is designed to simulate a tropical rain forest environment, housing around 1,400 species of plants from tropical climates around the world. Visitors can enjoy a lush, verdant habitat featuring waterfalls, streams, and exotic flora, providing an immersive experience of the biodiversity and beauty of tropical ecosystems.
