Instead of building a park and then making accommodations for individuals with special needs, the Morgan’s Wonderland team began by identifying what obstacles and barriers occur within the special-needs community and then designed a park to help individuals with special needs overcome those challenges and be able to have fun like those without limitations.
To create this inclusive theme park, it took a team of out-of-the-box thinkers (doctors, special-ed teachers, caregivers, therapists, parents of special-needs children, etc.); cooperative vendors and constructors; and an investment of $35 million.
In addition to wheelchair access, Morgan’s Wonderland offers many unique features such as Braille signage, a 3-D park model and a service-animal rest area to make the park fun and accessible to people who are hearing and visually impaired.
