What is Morgan's Wonderland?

Morgan’s Wonderland offers 25 ultra-accessible™ attractions, sprawled across a 25-acre oasis of inclusion. From a wheelchair-accessible Ferris wheel to catch-and-release fishing, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy!
in 2005 when Gordon Hartman observed his daughter Morgan wanting to play with other vacationing kids at a hotel swimming pool, but the kids were leery of Morgan and didn’t want to interact with her. Then and there, Gordon resolved to create opportunities and places where those with and without disabilities can come together not only for fun but also for a better understanding of one another. That led to the construction of Morgan’s Wonderland in Northeast San Antonio. Doors officially opened in 2010.
Today Morgan’s wonderland has expanded into Inspiration island a water park, STRAPS an adaptive and para sports program, Morgan’s Wonderland Camp and more on the horizon.
Their mission is to provide a safe, clean and beautiful environment free of physical and economic barriers that all individuals – regardless of age, special need or disability – can come to and enjoy.
