sensory based reviews
For those of us with sensory issues it can be difficult to find comfortable places to enjoy the world. Whether PTSD, autism, ADHD, or any other condition, knowing what to expect can make all the difference. Sensorate provides a free rating system to understand and match a place to your personality based on sight, sound, smell, and feel.Because of the diversity of sensitivities, the Sensorate system covers the full spectrum of a sense. Instead of rating amount of stimulation alone, Sensorate gives you descriptions of various sense categories. Maybe loud noises aren't your issue, but sudden sounds don't work. Or maybe your child needs hi contrast visual stimulation, but is distracted by too much activity. Sensorate can help you find that.
All reviews are compiled by verified reviewers and curated to ensure you get REAL results you can trust.

Each pin will provide a summary of the sense domain (sight, sound, smell, feel). Larger numbers mean more intense factors, smaller numbers mean lower intensity.

The full database contains much more information on each location. The sense domains are actually rated according to all of the individual factors in our list. If you'd like to find the best times for you, search by custom groupings of review factors, or compare places. Partner status will let you do that. In our circular model, this isn't about money. All you have to do is contribute!
Sensorate Partners
Sensorate relies on partners to grow. There are two types of partners:COMMUNITY
Community partners are our reviewers. Reviews are performed by a vetted member of the sensory community to ensure we get reviews BY us and FOR us. In return, Reviewers get access to the full database of reviews. You'll see every factor and rating. Think of this as your "Premium membership" only instead of money, you contribute in-kind. Doing at least one review a month will keep you in good standing!
BUSINESS
Business partners help us keep this site going and expand our organization into wider community reach. In return for a $50 donation, businesses will receive a review within one month of contribution. The review will be unannounced and anonymous. You will also receive access to the current iteration of the full database of review data. Note all data is anonymous.
Sensorate is entirely non-profit. All proceeds are returned into the organization.
ORIGIN story
Sensorate is created by and for people with sensory issues. The idea came when we took a trip to a small town during a time online reviews listed as being the least busy of the year. When we got there, it was like a crowded theme park. I was so overstimulated and on edge. The trip was nearly ruined. Then we found a place with a totally different vibe, quiet, spaced out, staff who were aware of the chill vibe we needed and spoke in gentle tones. While spending several hours and a good deal of money there, the idea occurred to us, why isn't there a rating system for THIS? And when we couldn't find one, we made it.© 2024 Jonah Mick.
