Space View Park
Space View Park (Google Map, directions) in Titusville, Florida is the premier location for viewing Shuttle and other rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center if you do not have a ticket from NASA for up close and personal launch viewing.
Things to bring:
- Binoculars
- Chairs or comfy blankets
- Food and Drinks (no alcohol permitted)
- Still camera (ideally with zoom lens)
- Video camera
- Friends
Although there is lots of parking in the area your best chance is to arrive at least three hours before launch. Earlier is always better if you want a better spot along the water. There is also a 24HR CVS pharmacy nearby if you forget anything and there are a string of restaurants a block or two away. (I highly recommend you ask for Corina at Caffe Chocolat)
Watching the launches at Space View Park is a relaxed and festive atmosphere where I found conversation to flow in unexpected fun directions.
