Handicapped travel should not limit anyone’s capacity for adventure. Because the handicapped population continues to rise over time, certain attractions and companies have developed specifically to accommodate this very demographic.
Right here in the Lone Star State, for example, we have Morgan’s Wonderland. Located in San Antonio, Morgan’s Wonderland is the world’s first amusement park where every single ride and attraction is designed to accommodate people with disabilities or handicaps. Named 2017 Park of the Year by Amusement Today, Morgan’s Wonderland seeks to provide a safe, clean and beautiful environment free of physical and economic barriers that all individuals—regardless of age, special need or disability—can come to and enjoy.
The park offers educational and philanthropic events as well and does Texas proud with its vision and progressiveness. Other accessible sites in Texas include San Antonio’s The Alamo and River Walk, the Dallas Museum of Art and Houston’s Wortham Center.
While everything is bigger in Texas, travel in the Lone Star State may seem too small for some. Almost the entirety of Europe has opened up to disabled travelers thanks to Sage Traveling. Sage Traveling has worked to make Europe accessible to individuals with all types of mobility issues and offers travel plans and advice for dozens of European destinations both in the form of tours and cruises.
Notable destinations include London, Paris and Venice. According to John Sage, founder and owner of Sage Traveling, London is a great destination for handicapped travelers because of its flat terrain and UK accessibility standards. Paris is a bit more difficult given the historical architecture, but the Eiffel Tower and Louvre are accessible and reachable via the Parisian bus lines. And Venice, the City of Bridges, is about 50 percent completely accessible by wheelchair, though the 400+ bridges make it difficult to move from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Sage Traveling can offer flexible itineraries that cater to individual preferences and interests, including fine dining, historical locations and Renaissance art. They also offer valuable information that may not be readily available to handicapped travelers looking for accessibility information online for many of the attractions across Europe, as well as hotel and tour options they know to be handicapped accessible. Sage Traveling has top-notch reviews from various authorities on handicapped traveling along with personal testimonials that prove its effectiveness.
Whether it be in Texas or abroad, travel options are available to everyone, and these fulfilling destinations assure rich adventure awaits!
