We’ve found a great way for physically challenged people to unwind and have a fun time.
What Is It?
Amusement parks are lots of fun. With the exciting roller coasters and rides that give you an adrenaline rush. However, generic amusement parks aren’t exactly safe for disabled individuals. Morgan’s Wonderland has changed that.
Introducing the first amusement park for disabled people in San Antonio, Texas. Opened up in June 2017, it is designed to be wheelchair accessible so that kids with special needs are comfortable. There are easily adaptable water games and pool rides for disabled kids and adults to enjoy.

What’s In It?
A tropical theme! It offers the visitors 6 major rides to choose from – all of which can accessed by a wheelchair. The flow rides are properly adapted for wheelchairs, the geysers come with large spaces and there are multiple rain showers along with water cannons to have a gala time.
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.
Along with that, there are private lounges and areas for kids who are vulnerable around crowds.
Morgan’s Wonderland is also extremely careful about the water they use for disabled people. They make sure the water is regularly filtered and recycled using specialized equipment so it is safe for all.
