Morgan’s Wonderland

• “In 2006, Gordon Hartman observed his daughter, Morgan, wanting to play with other vacationing kids at a hotel swimming pool. However, the kids were hesitant to interact with her.

On April 10, 2010, Morgan’s Wonderland became the world’s first theme park designed with individuals with special needs in mind. In 2017, the Ultra-Accessible™ theme park expanded with Morgan’s Inspiration Island, which was named on TIME Magazine’s 2018 ‘World’s Greatest Places’ list.
