[[Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory]] is a conservatory at Mitchell Park. It is owned and operated by the Milwaukee County Park System, and replaced the original Milwaukee Conservatory which stood from 1898 to 1955. Its three domes display a large variety of plant and bird life. The conservatory includes the Tropical Dome, the Arid Dome and the Show Dome, which hosts four seasonal (cultural, literary, or historic) shows and one Christmas exhibit held annually in December for visitors to enjoy. The Domes are deteriorating rapidly "and the popular horticultural conservatory will close within a few years unless $30 million is found to do just basic repairs."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Behm|first1=Don|title=Decision time is quickly approaching for the future of the leaking, aging Mitchell Park Domes|url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/milwaukee/2018/06/25/decision-time-quickly-approaching-future-mitchell-park-domes/716206002/|access-date=April 1, 2019|publisher=JS online|date=June 25, 2018}}</ref>
