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.

An excellent value and a ton of fun
Got CityPASS Chicago for a short trip and it was worth every penny. A few of the attractions had a fast pass that we automatically got, which saved a ton of time. Everything included was fun, we got great pictures and made some amazing memories. For Chicago, we recommend the Architecture Boat Tour!

Easy way to see Chicago
Stumbled across the CityPass. Easy, less expensive way to visit Chicago. Doing some quick math, it appeared CityPass was the best option. You can create your own itinerary with several places to choose from. Definitely recommend getting the CityPass.

La mejor decisión !
Comprar el CityPASS nos ha facilitado los días en Chicago , el sistema de reservas en su app es fácil , el ahorro en costos es indudable y lo mejor : la expedited entrance para el Skydeck. Puedes pasar por the ledge muchas veces con filas muy cortas comparadas con las de la entrada general.

Good value for money
Some of the detailed information for the events to choose from was wrong, but past that the app and everything else was great. Wish we had a bit more options to choose from as well though

The best way to see the best of the city
My husband and I had been to Chicago before, but hadn’t really experienced the sights. CityPASS helped us fix that. In between Cubs games we booked and saw all of the sights- the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, Chicago 360, the Art Institute, and the river tour. We learned so much about the city, and spied the places we’ll return to during our next visit.

All quality experiences that comes with “skip the line” privileges. We are longtime chicagoans who wanted our kids to experience a lot in our 6 days there back with our folks. Was the most economical and sensible way to do it.
