What We Do
Reliable accessibility information is hard to find, and generic labels rarely tell you what you actually need to know. Only Everywhere is a community-driven directory where people can find and share honest, detailed accessibility information about real places, so users can make better travel decisions.
Our accessibility audit
We audited accessibility across more than 400 California venues. The Los Angeles Times quoted our findings.
Who This Is For
We built this site first and foremost for people with disabilities: permanent, episodic, visible, invisible, physical, cognitive, or sensory. They need accurate information most, and their experiences are what make this directory worth anything.
But many more people benefit from detailed information about accessible environments: a parent with a stroller, someone recovering from surgery, an aging adult with changing hearing, an autistic friend who needs sensory comfort. This directory is built for everyone. New here? Here’s how it works.
How We Document Accessibility
Every listing documents specific accessibility features across four categories: mobility and physical access, hearing, vision, and sensory/cognitive. We lead with specifics rather than a single label because accessibility is individual. Our job is to give accurate, detailed information so you can decide what works for you. Our framework follows ISO 21902, the international standard for accessible tourism, and the UN Tourism‘s Recommendations on Accessible Tourism for All.
Venue information comes from official sources where available and we’ve noted when each listing was last verified, but the most valuable information comes from people who’ve actually been there. That’s why reviews are rated separately by disability type. What works for one person doesn’t for another. If you’ve visited a place we list, please leave a review and share what you’ve found. A founding group of reviewers is helping build this review layer, and they’re credited on our Contributors page, however they choose.

A Note On Language
Language around disability and neurodivergence evolves constantly, and we don’t always get it right. Our goal is never to define or categorize people. It’s to make useful information easier to find. If we’ve used terminology that doesn’t reflect your experience or preference, we want to know. We are open to learning, evolving, and listening to the voices of the communities we seek to represent.
