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.

Good value? You choose.
Unless you want to see both the Aquarium and Skydeck, then it is better value to buy single tickets. The sights I wanted to see the most were in the optional extra sights and I ended up having to pay for entrance at the Field Museum. CITY PASS would work better if you could choose five from all sights.

Great choice for a awesome price!!
I was a little hesitant on getting CityPASS but it was the best choice to buy it! We got to see almost every attraction in Chicago for a great price. And I had some problems and they were so helpful and solved it immediately. I’m so happy I got it!

So User Friendly
Never been to Chicago before and I had very limited time, since I was there on business. CityPASS highlighted the top sights/sites to see while allowing for some choices and then all the info about days/hours for each site was easily accessible so I could coordinate around places that were only open on certain days. For several items, I had to change the day/time of my reservations, and it was a 1 minute, easy peasy process each time. All tickets/QR codes were right in the app when needed. I have to say, if you go to Chicago, the architecture river tour is a MUST DO. Pick the tour that starts about 45 min before sunset - then you get the day view and the lit-up night view too!

The Chicago Top 5 at nearly half the price!
CityPass got me into the Art Institute, the Willis Tower observation deck, the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium at nearly half the a la carte price. It's easy to purchase, easy to use and every first timer to Chicago--or even a returning visitor like myself--should get out with CityPass and see their own Chicago Top 5!

Excellent time saver
The CityPass was great. The first reservation was tricky ( seniors with some? technology knowledge), so we just called and got instant help. From there on we could do it. It sure beat standing in line!
