Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable. CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.

Worth the money!
The CityPASS tickets I got were worth it! I travelled from Canada on my own for a week here, and was able to save 48% + get first access and skip the long lines! It’s also valid for 9 days after purchase and you can just add it to your Apple wallet! Very fun for timers and you get your moneys worth!

Awesome 👌
I bought tickets for my entire family and I'm glad I did. We avoided the long general lines. It was amazing to be able to enjoy the experience without any setbacks. I highly recommend planning ahead for these types of events. We definitely created unforgettable memories together.

Unforgettable Experience!
My family only planned on going to the Sky Deck, and the Adler Planetarium initially. But when we looked in to CityPass we got both those plus 3 more places to go to from a choice of 5. And all this for $139 it was a brilliant deal..... and the best part is you don't have to stand in line for hours..... we allocated 1 hour for the Sky Deck due to the long lines, but with CityPass we got expedited entry and we were done in 15mins..... it was brilliant

Saved us so much money!
We bought two CityPASS tickets for our first trip to Chicago and it was so helpful. We had two full days and were able to use the passes to the fullest. On day one we went to the Art Institute and did the Architecture Tour. Day two we went to the Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and Skydeck. This saved us so much time and money. I feel like we were able to experience some of the “must see” locations in the city with the help of this pass. Definitely recommend!

Not served well
The museum was closed for 3 days when I am there.
Skydeck looking down part was closed due to the maintenance.
So I didn’t benefit much

Worth the price
Traveled with my family of four to Chicago for 3 days. Citypass was worth the price. Included upgrade for the Willis Tower Ledge alone was worth the cost to skip the long line.
