One characteristic that makes our city unique is its inclusion for all. Morgan’s Wonderland embodies that characteristic with the creation of the world’s first and only theme park designed with those with special needs in mind — here everyone can play.

This week, the park unveiled what it’s been working on since October 2023, a $6.5 million renovation featuring new rides and experiences for all who visit. Let’s break down the major additions visitors can expect at the park.

Pirate Island Cruises

All aboard this covered boat and enjoy a pleasant cruise around the eight acre catch and release lake as you watch others on the new zip line crossing overhead.

Jette’s Wonder Bikes

This wheelchair-accessible attraction features six hand-glider-style cars that fly in a circular motion each equipped with pedals or hand cranks making the cars swoop up and down.

Two more attractions

The Buy

The perfect spring shoe for women, featuring a block heel that won’t get stuck in grassy areas. We love colors “Skyward Suede” and “Gold Leather” for special occassions.

From the editor

I’m back from the big move, y’all. I still have tons to unpack, mainly my office + clothes, but today is my dog’s first full day in the apartment. I bought him some new toys and treats to get him acclimated to our new home. I hope he loves it as much as I do.
