About Us and our Magical Programs
About Us
Merlin’s Magic Wand is an independent non-profit bringing joy and connection to children across the USA. Our work is made possible through our partnership with Merlin Entertainments, a global leader in branded entertainment, with resort theme parks, city-centre attractions, and LEGOLAND® Resorts spanning the UK, US, Europe, China, and Asia Pacific.
Through this partnership, we deliver three programs across Merlin’s US attractions, creating magical experiences for children and families who need them most.

Merlin's Magic Spaces
In the places where children spend the most time - hospitals, treatment centers, special needs schools, and hospices - we create Magic Spaces. Working with Merlin Magic Makers, our design teams transform everyday areas into immersive, attraction-themed spaces inspired by some of the world’s most loved brands.

Magic On Tour
Magic On Tour is our community outreach program, bringing the wonder of Merlin attractions directly to children in schools, hospices, and hospitals.
