Gulfstream Visit
 
Fountain of Youth day will be our first visit to Gulfstream. Does anyone have any suggestions. I was told parking is difficult.

Thank you all

I was there 2 years ago and after the races went to Bomba and had a good time during their Happy Hour with food and drink. Interesting variety of dishes and rum based cocktails.

As someone that is there every almost weekend for the last 35 years, take this advise on free parking - and the best place to park. You will be just feet from "Franks Beach" and the first turn for route races. Easy to get out at the end of the day too!

Park in the southernmost parking lot. It's an entrance without any stop lights or signs. Go all the way to the end and make a left. If you are there before 2pm you should be able to get a great spot.

By far the best place to park.

A good landmark is the Steak and Shake...the entrance just is south and across from it.

Here's a map view

On a completely unrelated note, but since I have spent two months living next to it....

...is there a place with worse service than Steak 'n Shake?

I go with my kids and never understood why they try to run it like a restaurant and not a fast food joint.

Opusone, enjoy the day and put a few bucks on #13 Faufiler (12-1) in Race 9
