Morgan's Wonderland

This past weekend we met up with Elina's friend D and his family at a place called Morgan's Wonderland. This is my new favorite play place now. It's the world's first ultra accessible family fun park and everything in it is geared towards people with special needs. All the doors and walkways are wider to accommodate wheelchairs. They have tons of play structures that are designed for individuals with physical and cognitive special needs. The play structures have ramps that are wide enough for wheelchairs, too. They even have wheelchair swings. Besides this, they have car rides, a train ride, a carousel, a sand circle, a fishing wharf, a huge interactive water table, and a music garden. Everything is wheelchair accessible. It's an amazing place!



Here is Eli playing in the music garden--




The other great things about this place are that it isn't very crowded, it's super clean, the employees are really friendly, there are water misters everywhere, and everything outdoors is covered with huge canopies. So even though it was 95 degrees and sunny out, we felt cool the entire time.

One big piece of news is that Eli had his first lollipop ever! He was so excited...plus, it was one of those big, swirly lollipops. Who wouldn't love that? Check out his huge smile...
We all had a great time and we'll definitely be back. The only "drawback" is that it costs $15 per person, but we don't mind paying this amount if it supports something as wonderful as this. For $15, it's really a steal. We were there from 10am until 1:30pm and we still didn't get to see everything. We just can't wait to go back!!
