I knew about Waymarking, but didn't realize there was a category specifically for "Geodesic Domes"

"Geodesic Domes - A Waymarking.com Category"

More pictures at Waymarking "Geodesic Domes Image Gallery":

I found several domes that I hadn't previously seen. I, especially, like the wood & canvas dome at the San Diego Zoo:

It's hard to find (online) any interior images of the San Diego Zoo geodesic canopy, revealing the construction of the frame.

The canvas geodesic canopy is in the "Children's Zoo" section of the "Discovery Outpost," and is named the "Clark Theater."

It seems that the San Diego Children's Zoo dome used to be plywood.

I found this photo in a Popular Science magazine article, from February, 1972:
