Ramp Up To Fun!

This site is designed to share experience with others about handicapped accessible (or not so much) places around the country! Please be nice when commenting, but honesty is appreciated!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could share all the "secrets" with each other??? Where the best parking is, easiest places to get a wheelchair into? Whether or not the bathroom will fit a chair in, let alone a helper?

Let's do this with a system.


1st: Visit our Facebook page! "Ramp Up To Fun - A Handicapped Accessibility Travel Guide".
2nd: Post your visit/recommendation on the page. You don't need to be handicapped or have family/friend that is handicapped...we just need opinions. If you notice its the best place in town to eat and they have great parking...let us know! Or if they don't.
3rd: I will add the new place to our site here.

You can also email me directly at: RampUpToFun@gmail.com

So here's what would be good to start with (add more if you feel it would help):
1. City, State
2. Type of place (ie, Restaurant, Airport, Shopping, Entertainment, etc.)
3. Name of place visited
4. Rating...lets do a 5 star scale....0 being worst and 5 best.
5. Why you like/don't like this place for accessibility. We want to know how the parking is. Is it close, convenient, allow a wheelchair ramp, or non-existent. How is it to get inside the building/shop? What about when you are inside, is there enough room to move around with a wheelchair or walker, etc? For people that are extra sensitive to loud places...how does the place rate? Services offered for disabled people? Bathrooms - size, accessibility? Convenience, convenience, convenience! Would you go back again?
6. Suggestions for making someone's visit there easier.
7. Add a photo if you have one! (of the place itself, or the problem, or you having a great time there).
