Turning ordinary walks into magical adventures
WANDERFUL turns walks into adventures through augmented reality trail experiences. Founded by Lena Angland, the aim of the business is to use technology to get children to go outside, become more active and learn more about the world around them. Wanderful wants to use a child’s sense of wonder to enhance learning through interactive experiences, increase mobility through lessons that require activity, and get everyone outside and enjoying the outdoors!
