TAPS Togethers: Sally Dark Rides Tour, Jacksonville

This event is open to all TAPS survivors, both adults and children (ages 7 and older), who have experienced a military or veteran loss. 

Join your TAPS Family for an hour of connection learning about amusement ride development at a Sally Dark Rides Tour. 

Sally Dark Rides experiences are where millions of families laugh, play, and enjoy time together. Their rides are defined by unparalleled storytelling, and the memories that stem from those stories. They value those guest experiences that turn into traditions - from one generation to the next- being shared with friends and family for decades to come.
