Morgan's Wonderland is a 25 acres (10 ha) accessible amusement park in San Antonio, Texas for children and adults with special cognitive and physical needs. The park, which opened in April, 2010, was developed by Gordon Hartman,[1] a former real estate developer from San Antonio. He said that his daughter Morgan, who has a severe cognitive delay, inspired the creation of the park.[2]

The park has a carousel, an 8 acres (3.2 ha) lake, off-road vehicles, a miniature train decorated to appear like it is from the 1930s, a sand circle play area, swings, and "playscapes."[1] The carousel sits flush with the ground and has "chariots" that wheel chairs can be secured in that move up and down as the carousel turns. There are traditional and adaptive swings that hold wheel chairs.
