Houston CityPASS
CityPASS was a vacation life saver!!
My husband and I purchased two passes and it was THE BEST investment ever. Our weekend getaway was jam packed with exciting things to do. We didn't have to worry about carrying enough money or standing in long lines. Great experience
It was easy to buy online, easy to use and was so worth it. We took the family to Houston to hit up all the museums, zoo, and aquarium; the works. We had an amazing time and had no issues using our CityPASS. We bought it online and printed the confirmation. Easy. AWESOME!!
The CityPASS was the best thing I have ever purchased for one of our vacations! It gave us so many things to do and at a very affordable price for a family of 5! I will purchase a CityPASS every time we go on vacation from now on! The BEST option for having fun around Houston
This is really the best option you´ve got. I had family visiting for a week and we decided to give it a try...it was totally worth it! The options available are on point, plus you get amazing discounts and coupons...all of this for a considerably lower price than you would if you paid for each option individually. So go for it! Best Bang For Your Buck.
CityPASS ROCKS! I am a single parent to 3 awesome kiddos. This year I had family visit from CA and needed to show them the great state of Texas, but on a budget. I found the Houston CityPASS while doing a search and was I excited.

Simply Marvelous
Bought the CityPass because our grandchildren were coming to TX for a week. There is a 7 year age difference between the two of them. We were concerned about making sure they both enjoyed the activities we had planned. The CityPass activities were a big hit and both children really enjoyed them all. Plus I have to say they were fun for the adults as well. I would definitely recommend CityPass if you are in our coming to Houston, TX.

Ok but not great.
I purchased the Houston, TX CityPASS for myself and my bf. This pass was more for kids and not adult relationship pass. I would recommend if you have a family and kids but if you're a couple and dating, then I wouldn't recommend for adults. We checked out the downtown aquarium and it was very small compared to the other aquariums that we've been to such as the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Kemah boardwalk was ok also.

Watch for Spring Break
It was spring break and Houston was overrun with people! Couldn’t get in anywhere to use the passes. Went to NASA— long waiting line to get in. Tried the aquarium and it was too packed to get in. Paid over $230 for three tickets and other family members also purchased three tickets and super disappointed that we couldn’t use them.

Wonderful Experiences
This was a great investment for our week in Houston. We loved the Space Center and the Natural Sciences Museum. Our kids (4 and 7) had a great time at the Downtown Aquarium, Children's Museum and Houston Zoo. We also explored Hermann Park right by the Zoo.

Absolute Money Saver!!
I am very big on planning ahead for my family vacation! Spring Break is one of my all time fav family vacations! With family in Houston, I decided it would be a perfect spot for this year! Upon planning my travels, I came across the CityPASS! After reading details and other reviews, I decided to purchase for my family of 5! BEST DECISION EVER! We weee able to attend the most popular museums and attractions for one set price. We were able to do two events per day which would typically costs us about $105 per event!! I even booked a reservation for the wrong museum and it “counted tickets as used” which caused me to be unable to visit our final destination because I had seemed to used all 5, BUT the customer service center was able to reverse it and we regained access in a breeze! I will definitely be using this CityPASS in all other available cities we plan to travel to! The check in process was super easy and even with limited activities included with the pass for some events, they offer discounts for add ons!

Family fun even over a hard visit.
CityPASS for Houston was so nice. We came here for a sick family member but also wanted to provide my family with some fun, in between the hard visits. This was perfect to make some new memories with my family during a difficult time. The Zoo, Johnson Space Center and The Aquarium were beautiful- great customer service everywhere we went. Well worth the price. Thank you.
