What is a sensory friendly place?

A place where common sensory triggers (noise, harsh lighting, crowding) are lower or more manageable, especially at certain times.

How do you score venues?

We translate inputs like noise, lighting and crowd into a practical plan (prep, first 10 minutes, and a safe exit).

Do you use Google reviews?

Yes. Google ratings, reviews, and photos are used as supporting evidence and can change over time.

How do I pick the right place?

Start with a suburb hub, filter by type, and prefer venues with a calmer score profile and good off-peak timing options.
