Special Parking Notes If people try to point you into Paid Parking, tell them you're going down Indian River Ave to use the ATM at the First Union Bank. Then park behind the bank, or along Broad St.

Find your way to the Eastbound routes of State Route 528, SR-50, or SR-46 to Interstate 95. Drivers on SR-528, the Bee-Line Expressway (recently renamed the Kennedy Space Center Expressway), and SR-50 need to turn onto I-95 North. Drivers from SR-46 drive I-95 South. Take I-95 to Exit 80 at State Road 406. This is the exit for the Canaveral National Seashore, and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Take SR-406 (Garden St to the locals) East 2 miles. Don't just pass by the "fast food" outlets you find on SR-406 - pick up a "Fast Food Picnic". You need to get to Space View Park at least an hour before launch (to beat the last-minute tourists looking for a parking space) and a picnic is one way to pass the time. Proceed along Garden St to US-1 and turn right onto US-1 between the 7-Eleven, and the Eckerds drug store. Just past the Eckerd's driveway is Broad Street. Turn left onto Broad Street, and follow it to the end. Try parking behind the First Union Bank on your right, or along Indian River Ave. The park is on Broad St at the Indian River.
