Help Decide the Future of the Mitchell Park Domes

The Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory building complex includes three 50+ year old display domes, a greenhouse and annex complex added in 2015, as well as support and educational structures.

The display Domes are in need of extensive rehabilitation along with repairs and updates needed for many support spaces. Planning is underway for this long-time Milwaukee attraction.

Here at a crossroad, there is an opportunity to review the services the Conservatory provides to the community, as well as provide for a sustainable facility and operating model. Through community engagement and expert analysis of conditions, constraints, and opportunities, The Milwaukee County Task Force on the Mitchell Park Conservatory Domes (Domes Task Force) is evaluating long-term options for the future of the Conservatory and its associated activities, costs, and benefits. The Task Force will recommend a course of action to the Milwaukee County Executive and County Board.
