A great place for kids with special needs

The founder, Gordon Hartman, wanted to a build an amusement park that would be safe and comfortable for people with disabilities.

What’s Unique? 

The best part about this theme park is the fact that any person with a disability can enter it free of cost!

During the entry, children with disabilities are given a waterproof GPS wrist band so that the parents or guardians can track them down in case they get lost.
