Morgan's Wonderland

Morgan's Wonderland is a theme park in San Antonio, Texas. It has had over a net million guests since its opening in 2010. The park features several attractions including rides, playgrounds, gardens, a catch-and-release fishing lake, a special-event center, and 575-seat amphitheater. The park's focus on accessibility makes it free for disabled individuals to attend the park.

In 2005, Hartman sold his homebuilding business to establish The Gordon Hartman Family Foundation in order to aid children and adults with special needs along with his wife, Maggie. During a family vacation, their disabled daughter Morgan wanted to play with kids tossing a ball in a hotel swimming pool, but when she approached them, they abruptly took their ball and vanished. "I'll never forget the look of anguish and dismay on Morgan's face, so I decided there had to be a way to bridge the gap of misunderstanding about people with special needs. That incident was the tipping point for Morgan's Wonderland and ultimately Morgan's Inspiration Island," Hartman said.

On March 3, 2010, Morgan's Wonderland opened, with NBA legend David Robinson and actress Eva Longoria as special guests.

Starting in 2012, Toyota partnered with the park as a long-term sponsor.

On June 17, 2017, Morgan's Inspiration Island splash park was unveiled.

In 2020 the park closed after only 11 days into the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The park reopened for the 2021 season at limited capacity.

In 2022 the park hosted the Special Olympics Texas Summer Games.

The park holds a Snowball Run annually in December, which involves both 5K and 1K walking/running events. The events are open to all ages and abilities.
