I'm told The Domes in Milwaukee has a nice G gauge layout. It's only about an hour from here, so I'm going up there Sunday Afternoon.
The web says they're open till 5.
Anybody?

Larry and Evelyn Tennyson told me there was a train layout in "The Domes" in Milwaukee. Aside from all the construction, it's only about an hour from here, so I went Sunday Afternoon. Admission is $5 and there was no parking fee. The conservatory builds the layout every winter and local modelers provide the trains and keep them running. I haven't heard any reports of visitors falling over the wall and being mauled by wild trains. A walkway runs around the track area. It's definitely a train-in-the-garden theme. Pink! A lifelong model railroader. His mom says he's been fascinated by trains since age 3. They'd decorated with a cartoon character theme. I rather identify with Stitch I'll stop now. This layout will stay through March 18, then they'll change this dome to the Spring show. The trains turned the conservatory's profitless winter season into their most attended season for several years going, so they'll likely be back next winter.

If anyone wants a general idea of what I look like, go to the fifth picture and picture a cowboy hat and a demin Wrangler shirt in the place of the T-shirt.

The fifth picture is the one of the girl and the pink flowers! Are you sure that the right picture? I think some pictures were added since you said that, maybe?
