We were warmly greeted by offered a cushioned seat around a warm fire, s'mores, crystal glasses with a choice of tea, lemonade, or water. Short walk through the pine forest to another roaring fire and hammocks surrounding our meditation guide and crystal singing bowls. Very relaxing listening to the outdoor sounds of nature, as well as the guided meditation itself. I left feeling very relaxed.

We are lead thru a guided relaxation and then serenaded with crystal, "singing" bowls. Very hippie-dippie, new age type thing. They also have "goat yoga" and yoga on paddle-boards (when warmer). I believe they are trying to use their forested/laked environment to let people enjoy nature for a fee. This was their one year anniversary.

Next was a calligraphy class which I really enjoyed and was so impressed with his skills! We attended a celebration of Ramadan where you broke fast and got to talk and ask questions and just enjoy a meal together, I really loved it, it warmed my heart we sat at a big table and all just talked I felt the girls hosting were so warm. I also enjoyed learning about their culture. They host a lot of events and look forward to going to more!

It's been years since i wrote my review and I've been back several times. They regularly hold…read morefestivals and events here. Sometimes they offer cooking classes (i learned how to make köfte [kind of like meatloaf but with tastier spices] and a few other dishes), forums (coffee and discussion sessions), Turkish language classes, etc. I also took my son to a few of their festivals throughout the years (i even have a photo of him drinking Camlica lol). They sometimes held the festivals at other locations. One year they held it at fscj. That year, my son and i made pictures using the paint on water surface technique called ebru. It's now displayed in my house with one being of Jacksonville and the other being of Istanbul, (which are coincidentally where my hubby and i grew up). They have also changed locations into a much bigger stand alone building. (Address is correct on yelp.) I like what istanbul cultural center is doing for the Turkish community in Jacksonville (namely because they welcome outsiders to join and learn about their culture instead of making it exclusive). If it wasn't for this organization, i would not know anything at all about this beautiful culture. it must have left an impact on me, because my hubby is Türk! Bu yerde harika! (Now, it would be great if Jville got an equivalent Manila Cultural Center!!!)

I went on a free tour of Sally Dark Rides and left feeling like my mind was blown. First of all - I…read morehad no idea this was a huge warehouse in Downtown Jacksonville. Nor did I realize most of the dark rides across the whole world are created and developed here! It was amazing!! Our tour guide led us through the building while showing us all of the stages of creating an epic dark ride. This made me think about amusement parks in a whole different way. The tour was about an hour and was very informative. We asked lots of questions and met people from different departments along the way. Highly recommend booking a free tour and checking this out. It would be great for kids as well!

I need to start b my saying that this part of our trip to Florida was not planned! My 11 yo LOVES…read moreanimatronics, most especially, Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF). He originally wanted to visit a much smaller place in Orlando, which is a one man operation charging $375. It was a bit too far and too expensive for what it was so I decided to do my own research of places he would love, Sally Corporation became the place. I filled out the reservation form online and was told there were no spots available during our time in Florida. I couldn't take no for an answer. I emailed back explaining how much my son wants to be a Robotics Engineer and that we would wait as long as we needed to snag a spot. We got an email back the next day that two spots opened up!!! We made our way downtown and parked for free in the back. We entered to learn that the tour was also FREE...FREE! This facility is HUGE! They are arguably the largest producer of Dark Ride Amusements in the US and don't just make the robotic aspect of the animatronics, but they handle EVERY aspect of the creation and completion. From make up, costumes, design, voices, all of that! We were thrilled to see they had a...yep...FIVE NIGHTS OF FREDDY'S attraction! If you've ever been to he Ripley's in San Antonio, you will see one of their biggest sellers there, a ginormous T-Rex, that's their baby that sells for $90,000! The tour takes you to each department and you are truly immersed in their production. It is an working operation so you get to see the people behind the scenes at work, which was SO DAMN INSPIRING for my 11 yo who has told me for 4 TM years that this is what he wants to do in life. He got to see what his future could be like, which is absolutely priceless. The staff, facilities, location, displays, animatronics, all were 5 stars! Hands down a MUST when in Jacksonville! Come for a 10 or 11am tour and then take the FREE Skyway (Tram) to Hemming Park and Check our Sweet Peet's. Your kids will have the best day ever!

You can also participate in Greek Folk Dancing and have a true cultural experience as I do every year, this year sharing my experience with my friend Crystal.(I dragged her down) ;) You can shop vendors who display everything from souvenirs from Greece, to handmade crafts and much more. You can't miss their Happy Hours 5-6 pm BOGO- Greek beer and wine and Try the Ouzo Mojitos, I did! Ouzo is a Greek liquor that tastes like black licorice, the flavor of which comes from anise. Ouzo is made with grapes distilled in copper stills. Anise is added, as well as other flavorings sometimes like fennel. It is one of my favorite liquors.... The food is of course OPA! We sampled a bit of everything. Loved the spanakopita and I took home the KOK desserts and obsessably downed them both. ..oh mmmmmmmy. So I always feel a bit younger and bigger when I leave this festival always wanting to move to Greece to savor this everyday but until than Ill be back yearly to shout my OPA!
