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.

We wanted to see all the main attractions in Chicago and without a doubt CityPass was the best option in terms of price and convenience, I highly recommend it if you plan to visit Chicago.

CityPASS tickets are worth it!
The CityPASS tickets were well worth the money saved and time saved from standing in line. Super easy to use them on my mobile phone to enter all five locations we chose to visit!

CityPASS is great
Excellent option for getting tickets to the most iconic places and tours of the city and it helps not to spend too much money for it. The one thing I didn’t like was that you have to choose only 3 options and the shedd aquarium with the Skydeck Chicago were obligated to choose.

Superb value, best venues
This is a great value and includes the best venues. My husband and I combined CityPass with a 3 day Hop on and Off Bus ticket. We love the convenience of choosing our attractions and taking the bus to get there. In addition to saving money on entrance fees, we saved considerable money on parking our car.

CityPASS Chicago
Really enjoyed using CityPASS for a recent trip to Chicago with my family, all the passes pre-paid for and conveniently set up on my phone made things very easy! Also saved some money and in certain places we were able to skip lines!

Great attractions at a great price
I was in town with two of my friends and one of them found the CityPASS so we each bought it and I’m glad that we did! Not only was it a great value, but we were able to set out visit times, change them as needed, and even got us discounts at some of the museum gift shops!!
