## Parking at SS American Victory;American Victory Museum

The site has parking available in front of the ship, giving museum visitors the closest option at 705 Channelside Drive (americanvictory.org). The museum’s published hours are Monday from 12 PM to 5 PM and Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM (americanvictory.org).

When the front parking is full, the museum directs visitors to the 12th Street parking garage or the Florida Aquarium parking lot for overflow parking (americanvictory.org). The location and directions page also directs drivers along York Street to the Florida Aquarium parking lot, identified by a large neon sign on the corner (americanvictory.org).

## Florida Aquarium and 12th Street Parking Near the Ship

The Florida Aquarium parking lot at 864 Channelside Drive is a named alternative for visitors who cannot use the parking in front of the ship (destinationwwii.com). Its location on Channelside Drive puts drivers close to the museum district and provides the overflow option specifically recommended for the visit.

The 12th Street parking garage is the other named overflow facility in the museum’s FAQ (americanvictory.org). The official directions route drivers to York Street and then toward the Florida Aquarium parking lot, while the FAQ lists both the 12th Street garage and the aquarium lot for overflow parking (americanvictory.org).

## Busy Channelside Periods and Street Parking Around the Museum

Parking pressure is likely to rise when the front-of-ship spaces are occupied, because the museum directs overflow drivers to two separate facilities rather than naming additional on-site capacity (americanvictory.org).

Drivers approaching from downtown use the Downtown East exit at 22nd Street and 21st Street, Exit 1, before following the published route toward the museum area (americanvictory.org). The official directions then send vehicles along York Street to the Florida Aquarium parking lot (americanvictory.org).

## Parksy Parking Within Walking Distance of the Site

Parksy lists two parking lots 0.2 mi from the site, each priced at $30 a day.

At 0.4 mi, Parksy lists a secure lot in downtown Tampa for $14.99 a day and an outdoor parking space at 223 N. 12th St. for $12 a day. A further lot parking option in Tampa is 0.5 mi away and costs $12 a day.
