Seattle CityPASS
Excellent Value and Selection
We highly recommend getting the Seattle CityPASS. We were really overwhelmed with all of the activities when we started planning our trip through Seattle; there is so much to do. It gave us a really well rounded tour of the highlights of Seattle.The Way to Go
For your money's worth, the CityPASS Seattle is the best way to go. Not only did it include the best attractions in Seattle for the adults, it was perfect for the children, too.We Rocked Seattle
Our family of four had great fun touring Seattle's best sites! Despite being locals, we don't often get the time to see all the fun family destinations that Seattle has to offer. These passes paid for themselves within the first two locations compared to regular entry fees.CityPass Seattle
This was one of the coolest things we have ever purchased while traveling and I would recommend it to anyone! We saw all of Seattle, with two little kids, and we did it for half the price.A no-brainer if you visit Space Needle and more...
Two trips to Space Needle alone is almost the price of the Seattle CityPASS. If you do anything nearby like Chihuly and MoPOP, you're already ahead.

MUST SEE MoPop, the rest were good too.
I loved the ease of CityPASS tickets at all of the attractions I went to.
Day/Night ticket was a good way to do the Space Needle. I think, with a bit less cloud cover than I had, that there would have been better views of the mountains.
The aquarium was ok. Aquariums aren't not my thing so I'm going to comment any further.
Chihuly - this stuff was stunning. The things that the artist did with glass is addicting.
These last two were my favorites.
Argosy Harbour Tour. For views of Seattle's skyline this bear the Space Needle. Plus a dig into the history of the city too.
MoPop!!!
MoPop blew my mind. I never consider myself a big fan of Nirvana. I like the music but maybe I'm too young to say to respect the "scene" plus I think a lot of people hear "Seattle" and think "Nirvana".
Everything else took me by surprise though
KEXP (Seattle based radio station) live recorded performances on a massive movie screen.
The science fiction, fantasy, and horror sections had me gazing for so long.
The guitars, Jimi Hendrix, Indie Video Games, "Pop Culture" itself, and the list goes on forever. This was such a fantastic experience and, for me, was the highlight of the attractions.

Loved it
I’ve used CityPass before, and I’m glad I did it again. It’s helps you decide what to do, and it’s helps you do things affordably. The options are always entertaining, educational, and memorable.

Saw things I might’ve missed otherwise
So glad I went with CityPASS versus buying separately, otherwise I woulda missed some things that ended up being awesome! This trip to Seattle was the Chihuly Museum which I probably would not have done if it wasn’t included. I’m so glad I went. It was a wonderful experience.
But I ended up doing everything in one day. I called it my CityPASS day and it was full of exploring. Definitely easy to do and low stress.
As a solo traveler this made planning that much simpler. So I’m definitely going to be picking up another one for my next city to explore.

Excellent!
I bought CityPASS tickets for our trip to Seattle and it was great and very easy to access. Had to change our reservation for one of the attractions and it was all very quick and easy. The amount you pay for the city pass is definitely worth it if you’re trying to visit the attractions listed on there :)

Great idea!
We were in Seattle for ASHA Convention, so we had little time to see the City. This pass made us enjoy the City. We went to Needle, Zoo, Acuarium, Science Center and Museum of Pop Music in 4 days. We saved money and time by purchasing this pass.

Excellent deal!
This was a great deal! The thing I would change is buying it sooner because we bought it on the go and it was challenging to transfer tickets and make a reservation for some places while being out and about. It takes a little bit of planning and even a pen and paper but honestly, for the price it is worth the extra time.

Great way to see Seattle
Definetly a great deal. Had we not bought the pass we wouldn’t have gone to all the attractions.
