San Diego CityPASS
Easy to Use
Took my kids to San Diego and got the City pass. Super easy to use the tickets on the phone. They scan them and you're in to the park; no trying to keep up with the tickets anymore. The CityPASS will save you money and time. I'll use it again when I go back next time.Absolutely no regrets..!!!!
This is a great deal and was our 2nd CityPass experience. Highly recommended. Of course, we crunched all the numbers to make sure it was. Tickets on the app, worked every time, at everyplace we visited. Do it..!!!Best family vacation we've ever had!
We bought a city pass for our recent trip to San Diego and it was the best decision. We bought the Legoland plus 3 and we used it fully. We chose the Zoo, Aquarium and the Midway Museum. The pass was so easy to use and we had no issues anywhere. We were able to enjoy so many attractions and we saved a lot compared to the regular prices and we were able to buy the city pass in our home currency which was also really nice. Will definitely buy a city pass again in the future.Loved sunny California!
The citypass was a great deal and very easy to use. This is the second time I have used it and I would do it again. Thank you for making things so easy!CityPASS was great!
We bought CityPASS on our recent trip to San Diego and it was great. We saved enough money to do something extra special while we were there that made the trip unforgettable. The tickets we received from CityPASS worked seamlessly at all the attractions. Super easy and convenient.

Ease of Use
Extended family vacation - 3 families from different states met up in San Diego, decided on getting CityPass and loved that decision. So easy to use at each location. ONLY downside was beyond CityPass control - Hop On, Hop Off Trolley tour should not be sold as such - once you Hop Off with a group it was near impossible to find a Trolley that had more than 2 open seats to Hop back on! Consider that when choosing what activities you want to include on your experience!

Great value and easy to use!
My friend and I had four days to do our sightseeing in San Diego and prioritized our list to the Zoo, the Midway, SeaWorld, and a one-day Hop On, Hop Off tour. The pass was easy to use (just used our phones—no paperwork ) and saved us money over purchasing individual tickets.

Enjoyed the variety
Purchased the 4 day pass and enjoyed everything offered. Went to sea world and the zoo along with other options. My children loved our mini vacation to San Diego. CityPASS made it easy to decide what attractions were nearby.

Wonderful
I try and buy the CityPASS in most cities I go. It makes it easy to figure out things to do and go see. I also love it gives you the option of using a week or so to get things done

A Great Value
We bought our CityPASS tickets because we wanted to go to the zoo and Legoland. Little did we know how much of a value they would be. We went to the Midway Museum and took the harbor tour too. So much fun! If you are looking for a way to maximize your time and money, look into the CityPASS.

A MUST GET!
This pass saved us so much $$ on our vacation. Easy to use when using the app. Simply open the app and choose the attraction you're visiting. Go straight to the entrance and have them scan it.
