From the reviews
One of the most beautiful and iconic places in St Paul. Have you seen a kumquat tree? Or smelled a beautiful, rare orchid? (Each year they host an annual orchid show, usually in February.) This is a beautiful place to wander, explore new varieties of plants, fruiting trees, palms and even bonsai trees.
Getting married at Palm Dome
Palm Dome comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Palm Dome
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Palm Dome — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
