The Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome (夢の島熱帯植物館, Yumenoshima Nettai Shokubutsukan), also sometimes called the Yumenoshima Tropical Plant Dome, is a botanical garden located at 3-2, Yumenoshima, Kōtō, Tokyo, Japan.[1] It is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association and open daily except Mondays; an admission fee is charged.

A Dome features a rainforest habitat with ferns and waterfall, B Dome represents a tropical village, and C Dome contains vegetation of the Ogasawara Islands. There is also a small carnivorous plant room.
