The Show Dome at the Mitchell Park Conservatory was re-opened for visitors on April 29, several months after it was closed due to structural problems. Visitors toured the dome, admired the plant life and spoke with County Executive Chris Abele, who welcomed guests.

Abele said the fixes that allowed the re-opening are temporary. He added that he would like input from residents, businesses, nonprofits, academics and others about what to do with the Domes over the long term.
