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.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14154.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from To save and visit more! I have used CityPass in NY and Chicago, in both I loved having preferential lines and thus avoiding long lines, I was able to save money on the different main attractions in the cities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Great for weekend tourist trip I bought the CityPASS because I was gonna be in Chicago for 5 days from Saturday to Wednesday and I wanted things To do. It made it a lot easier to buy this pass rather than figuring out and managing 5 different tickets on all the different websites. Also the app made it super easy to do the reservations and change them too. The pass also gives you the highest tier of tickets so you could get fast pass or limited access stuff at a savings too. This plus the 3 day Ventra card made life so much less stressful. I would just hop on a bus and use the CityPASS everytime I went out. No problems. Highly recommend, I’m def gonna use for other cities. I hope they expand to international soon! I went to the shedd aquarium, Hancock tower @chicago360, art museum, and the river cruise. I unfortunately missed my reservation time for the sky deck but definitely plan on going sometime in the future. It was my fault also, so can’t complain.
