Morgan's Wonderland is a groundbreaking 25-acre theme park specifically designed so that children and adults with and without disabilities can play together. With over 25 wheelchair-accessible rides, sensory-friendly attractions, and completely inclusive experiences, this San Antonio treasure ensures every family member can fully participate in the fun, from splash zones to a carousel, train rides, and adventure playgrounds.
Visit during spring (March-May) or fall (October-November) for pleasant weather. Since the park is only open Saturday and Sunday, arrive right at 10:00 AM opening to enjoy attractions before afternoon crowds and heat peak, especially in warmer months.
Admission is free for individuals with special needs; general admission for others typically runs $25-35. The park offers both on-site dining and allows you to bring your own food. Parking is free, and the entire facility is wheelchair accessible with paved pathways and accessible restrooms throughout.
Currently open only Saturdays and Sundays year-round. During summer months (June-August), arrive early to beat the Texas heat. Morgan's Inspiration Island, the adjacent splash park, operates seasonally from late spring through early fall with separate admission. Check the website for special holiday events and sensory-friendly hours.
