ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 020

Morgan’s Wonderland

Morgan's Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas is one of the most magical places on Earth. It's a shrine of inclusion. They're changing the game in what accessibility and inclusion mean with a theme park designed with disabilities at its core. From young to old, with or without a disability, Morgan's Wonderland is a place to encourage everyone to gain a greater understanding of each other. Nikki and Brooke join me on this episode to talk about Morgan's Wonderland.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

What is Morgan's Wonderland?

We are the world's first ultra-accessible theme park. Our theme is inclusion. We are fully inclusive and accessible for visitors with special needs. We're an oasis of friendship and a place where people can feel safe. 

What is your mission?

We are a non-profit and based on the support we get from the community, we're able to offer admission to guests with special needs for free. Since we've opened ten years ago, our park has welcomed approximately 1.8 million guests from all 50 states and 6 other countries.
