Nonprofit Morgan’s Wonderland and Morgan’s Inspiration Island were built on the promise of providing free admission to anyone with a special need. For the purposes of Morgan’s Wonderland’s free admission policy, our focus is on those with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. We follow the honor policy in regards to individuals with special needs and rely on an individual’s honesty and integrity when he or she requests free admittance because of a special need. We do not require any proof of an individual’s special need. We do ask for the diagnosis in order to determine if the person qualifies for free admission and for our fundraising and developmental reporting.
Examples of disabilities and special needs that are readily provided free admission are serious, long-term physical and cognitive disabilities such as Down syndrome, deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida, autism (including Asperger syndrome), orthopedic impairment, muscular dystrophy, seizure disorder (including epilepsy), sensory integration disorder, Tourette Syndrome, etc.
We recognize that Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and mental health conditions such as ADHD are serious health matters, but these chronic conditions do not fall within the free-admission spectrum. Nor do we grant complimentary admission just because a person arrives at Morgan’s Wonderland or Morgan’s Inspiration Island with a disability tag on his or her vehicle.
Although we do indeed take a very broad view of special needs, we simply cannot admit everyone free of charge. If that were the case, Morgan’s Wonderland and Morgan’s Inspiration Island would not be able to exist and provide the unique, inclusive family fun that our guests eagerly embrace. We’re grateful for our guests’ understanding and cooperation with regard to our policy.
