The address for Turner Hall is 1034 N. 4th St., Milwaukee, WI 53203
This is on 4th street in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, between State St. and Highland Ave. To get there from outside of downtown, take I-43. Get off on the McKinley Ave exit (Whether you’re coming from north or south). Take a left off the exit, which will put you onto Park Freeway going east. This will turn into McKinley Ave. Shortly after that (second stop light from the highway exit), take a right on 4th st. Go two blocks and Turner Hall should be on the left side of the street.
Turners’ Gym is in the basement of Turner Hall. It has its own door which might be a little hard to spot. The main entrance will take you into Turner restaurant, and to the Ballroom. To get to the gym, however, there is another door to the left of the main entrance as you’re facing the building.
There are also Locker rooms and Showers available for men and women at Turner Hall Gym.
