SensoryFriendly Shedd Aquarium User Reviews

Horrible app

Useless

Not so good app

Itโ€™s really not interactive with the user and when you play the match game to watch the Video nothing happens

Overall, Good App

I enjoyed the app overall. It does provide the reassurance that a safe environment is provided along with guidelines to follow. I also appreciated the summary given for the different attractions of the aquarium.

The navigation of the app is excellent and accessible for all ages (for my 7-year-old was able to explore it on her own). I would suggest maybe adding a language feature for those who may read/speak/understand English. Maybe a translator option?

National!

Incredible

Parts of the app are useful beyond a trip to the Shedd. The ability to watch social stories has made a huge difference in our being able to prepare and enjoy the day. Thank you

Amazing, thoughtful resource for families

Iโ€™m planning to take my kids to Shedd next week and sat down to try to find some info to show my sensory/autism kid in preparation so he knows what to expect. This app does it all for you in one place. Photos and sample sounds they can expect to see and hear, maps to sensory triggers and quiet spots, a visual schedule, games to play while waiting or if they need a break. So much thought and consideration went into this app and itโ€™s a tremendous tool
For families who travel with sensitive kids who usually have to figure out what to expect and hope for the best. Thank you Shedd!

Tips to avoid crowds

Love the suggestion to attend during Bears games. Iโ€™ll be visiting in the fall on one of those Sundays!

Love planning our family's schedule!

Fun to read about the exhibits and then plan our schedule. Thanks Shedd!
