Default I prefer the "slower" 441 route all the way.

Though 441 is usually noted as 10 minutes slower that I-75 route the traffic is less hectic. I you go I-75 the Micanopy exit works really well, but be aware they are working on 441 in the Payne's Prairie Preserve area which you'll drive through. Also resurfacing 441 down to the Marion county line.

For parking at main Shands (1600 Archer) I use the parking garage at intersection of Newell Road and Archer. It's no charge for patients and they also do valet parking for $5 extra charge if you want.
