Court Leaves Free Admission for Companions at Luna Park and Superland in Place

What the Dispute Was About

The proceeding concerned whether a companion of a person with a disability is required to purchase an admission ticket to an amusement park. “Ir HaSha'ashuim,” the company that operates Luna Park and Superland, applied to the court, but the parties agreed to refer the issue back for reconsideration by the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the Ministry of Justice.

What the Court Decided

The court approved the parties’ agreement and ordered the company’s petition dismissed. Until a new decision is issued, both parks must fully honor the existing exemption from admission fees for companions. The current proceeding thus ended without a new policy being approved on the merits of the dispute.

How the Rules Will Be Reconsidered

The Commission is required to reconsider the arrangement exempting companions from payment and publish a decision no later than March 31, 2027. As part of the review, it will hear people with disabilities, their family members, service providers and other interested parties. At the end of the process, a uniform and clear policy for amusement parks must be formulated.

The Dispute May Yet Continue

The Commission’s new decision will not necessarily be the final word. After it is published, any interested party who considers themselves harmed may apply to the competent judicial court. Until then, companions will continue to benefit from free admission to both parks.
