400 W Wisconsin Ave
Milwaukee, WI 53203
Opened in 1998, Baird Center is one of the few convention centers we know of that people visit just to admire, but don’t let that fool you; it’s a hard-working facility in a hard-working city. Baird Center is designed for both sensory delight and astonishing efficiency, and operated with strict attention to customer service. The $456 million Baird Center expansion will bring the exposition hall to 300,000 contiguous square feet; have a total of 54 meeting rooms; include 400 indoor parking spaces; bring the number of loading docks up to 22; add an executive kitchen; and feature a spectacular rooftop ballroom with space for a minimum of 2,000 for a seated dinner.

Parking garage wouldn't read our card two years in a row. Do not recommend parking here if you want to be stuck and frustrated with no one to help.
