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.

Absolutely worth it.
Was in Chicago for 3 days. The best thing I done for the trip was to buy the CityPass. The time and value are outstanding. I will definitely buy again. And tell everyone I know to do the same.

not worth it
To expensive and is only worth for the main 3 attractions of the city, architecture tour, 360 and Willis Tower, really the cost benefit is not much

Save money and time with top Chicago attractions
We bought 5 CityPass for our family while we visited Chicago for 6 days last November. In addition to saving money on the attractions we were going to do anyway, we got the surprise to see that we were also saving time bu accessing fast lanes in many of these attractions. When reservations needed to be done for a museum or another attraction it was very easily done with the app. We visited the Shed aquarium, The Field Museum, did the architectural tour on the river, climb the Willis (at night) and Hancock (during the day) towers. All these attractions were really enjoyable. We had done the science and technology museum and the Adler planetarium on a previous trip and we would recommend these also. We like how easy and convenient it was to use the CityPASS.
