Top wheelchair accessible sites in the US don’t often include amusement and water parks. That’s why Gordon and Maggie Hartman created Morgan's Wonderland and Morgan’s Inspiration Island (inspired by their disabled daughter, Morgan). It’s the world's first fully inclusive amusement park plus water park designed especially for people with disabilities. Located in northeast San Antonio, the completely wheelchair accessible park features more than 25 attractions, including rides and playgrounds.

More and more beaches are providing Mobi-mats® that allow people who use wheelchairs to roll across the sand. Beaches along the Oregon Coast, such as Gold Beach, offer Mobi-mats, and the local nonprofit, David's Chair, provides free use of track chairs: large off-road wheelchairs with treads like a tank that can travel over sand and rough terrain. Reserve a chair for up to two hours at a time or arrange for delivery to one of the several partnered beaches along the Oregon coast.

US travel guides for wheelchair accessibility don’t usually include the Grand Prix. But any Formula One fan would want to know which US cities are best for wheelchair users. Unlike the F1 auto races in Las Vegas and Miami, the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) outside of Austin includes a purpose-built track with the main grandstand offering accessible seating at the top of the 200 section (in the shade). COTA also improved its pathways and larger public spaces, such as the amphitheater.

Ludington is a small coastal town, but what it lacks in size is more than made up for in personality, charm, hospitality, and accessible outdoor adventures. The beaches at Stearns Park and Ludington State Park offer hard-surface beach mats that extend close to the shoreline. The state park has beach wheelchairs that can be used free of charge; it also offers track chairs for use on the wooded trails, an accessible kayak launch point, and a wheelchair accessible playground.

Going on an Alaska cruise and feeling a bit adventurous? Then summon the courage to land on a glacier in a helicopter. A shore excursion from Juneau aboard a wheelchair accessible helicopter allows wheelchair users to transfer from their chairs onto the lift seat via a modified stair lift. While you can't bring your wheelchair with you or disembark onto a glacier in Alaska, the pilot will open the doors so you can enjoy the amazing views upon landing.

A duck boat city sightseeing tour is one of the best ways to explore Boston, home of the American Revolution. These amphibious tours take place on a historical military duck boat that has been retrofitted with seats for tourists. Best of all, there's a lift and space for people using wheelchairs. Meanwhile, the land portion of the tour will roll you through downtown Boston to see some of the most historical spots, then along the Charles River for more history and scenery.

Florida is known for outdoor adventures, with many airboat tours offering an accessible ride through the Everglades. (Although, Myakka River State Park in Sarasota has a long ramp that allows wheelchair users to roll right onto an airboat with designated accessible spaces, too.) There's a good chance you’ll see alligators, possibly wild boar, and certainly a lot of native birds during your boating excursion. In addition to learning about the animals, you'll also learn the history of the park.

Coastal Maine is one of the most beautiful parts of the Eastern seaboard, and wheelchair users can appreciate views of the coastline while rolling along the Marginal Way in Ogunquit. This winding, paved path follows the southern coast for 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers), starting at one end near the Sparhawk Oceanfront Resort on Shell Road and ending in Perkins Cove. Admire the little lighthouse overlooking Ogunquit Beach, enjoy the passing boats, or watch the wild waves splash up against the rocks.

If you've ever dreamed of rolling across the deck of an aircraft carrier, then the USS Yorktown at the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum near Charleston is a must. The museum includes two other Navy vessels, 28 historic aircraft, and an immersive 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) Vietnam experience. The USS Yorktown is also home to the Medal of Honor Museum. The retired Navy ship has several wheelchair accessible spaces, and an elevator that takes disabled visitors to multiple decks.

If you're a fan of live music, it’s often difficult to visit these venues with a wheelchair. Limited accessible bathrooms, big crowds, and narrow spaces are not a problem in Nashville, America’s country music capital. Broadway Street (the main entertainment strip downtown) is home to dozens of honky-tonks where you can see a live band all day, every day. Most have flat entry, and several have elevators to rooftop bars. Broadway Street is also home to accessible museums like the Frist Art Museum.
