Book Review of Accessible USA: Inclusive Travel Across the United States for Seniors and Disabled Travelers (Accessible Travel Adventures: Exploring the World Without Limits)

jjares avatar reviewed on + 3529 more book reviews


I found the opening chapters to be redundant and boring. However, the book soon divides into sections of the country (for example, The Northeast or The Southeast). Then, readers can hone in on the area of the country they wish to study. After dividing up the country, there are additional chapters on hidden gems and lesser-known accessible spots, festivals, food trails, music and arts gatherings, and local highlights. The author mentions the names and states of these adventures, but you will need to get more information from another source.

Kudos to the author for listing several online sites that are useful for travelers with disabilities. These are the sites I copied to use on our next trip. Overall score = G+.

Wheelmap.com - a mobility app that tells you if something is accessible!
Moovit.com - a mobility app that tells you if something is accessible!
AccessNow.com - lists inclusive activities and venues in cities worldwide.
iAccessLife.com - designed for wheelchair users, offering reviews of restaurants, hotels, and attractions based on their accessibility.
