Seattle C3
Great Choice!
We are glad we got the C3 pass. Making the purchase and reserving the tickets for our picked attractions was easy. We had a great time!Fun way to experience Seattle!
I bought the CityPASS C3 which allowed us to choose 3 attractions to experience, which was perfect for us because we had a limited amount of time in Seattle, so I am appreciative that this pass was an option for us. We did the Aquarium, the Woodland Park Zoo and the Argosy Harbor cruise around the city. I liked that we didn’t have to fit everything in all in one day; we spread it out over 2 days.Worked perfectly for our group
We were a group of 3 couples in Seattle for a few days before our cruise to Alaska. We each picked one thing we wanted to see and City Pass covered them all. It was a good savings for us and was pretty easy to use even for us, we didn’t have a tech star among us!Best deal for a 3-day weekend!!
I bought C3 passes because I had friends from CA visiting for labor day weekend. The C3 pass was the perfect fit for our itinerary. We chose to visit the Seattle Aquarium, MoPop, and the Woodland Park Zoo. I definitely plan on getting this again and trying out the different attractions!Fast efficient effective way to see Seattle sites
Best value to see the top 3 tourist destinations! The pass saved us hundreds of dollars for the group of us.

Unable to get tickets
I purchased 3 City Passes for our family trip to Seattle next week and am unable to purchase tickets through the City Pass website. Talking with a customer service person, I was told it was something wrong with my computer. Sigh.

Had a Great (and Affordable) Trip!
I bought the CityPASS for my trip, and it made it much more affordable to visit main attractions. I also appreciated not having to juggle multiple emails for tickets.

Simple and effective
We bought this last-minute for a weekend trip and it worked surprisingly well. We didn't download the app and just used the included links. There was some confusion about organizations that say they don't need reservations but CityPass required you to make one, and you can't reschedule if your reservation is less than an hour out, but we had no trouble making reservations at the times that were convenient for us.

Worth It!
I bought the Seattle CityPASS to help me get around Seattle as a first time solo-traveler, and I can say it is definitely worth it. It lets you choose your ticket dates and times and if you ever need to change it afterwards, you need to contact the attractions guest support. So I suggest having a set time and date for the attractions you want to visit. All the attractions are a walking distance from each other, aside from the Zoo one. Overall a great experience. I currently have the Chulhult Glass Garden left to visit but everything all good.

Easy and economical
I bought CityPass for a trip, we got to choose 3 additional options on top of 2 preset choices, it was easy to use and was a great value! The instructions were simple and getting tickets to where we wanted to go was easy.

CityPASS
I bought the city pass for my trip to Seattle, it actually saves money and time. It says it’s four events, but I say FIVE. The Space Needle was two visits and daytime and nighttime visit. I went to all three aquarium buildings, the glass museum and a two hour boat tour.

CityPASS in Seattle- Great Saver!
I was happy with CityPASS. Certainly saved us money.
I only wish that I could put my schedule in cityPASS and get tickets to individual attractions without having to visit individual sites.
After buying cityPASS, one still has to visit individual sites to reserve a time slot and get tickets.

Was not worth it for us
Only went to 2 things before it expired , individual cost of those things were cheaper than the cost of the pass. We got 2 passes so it was a huge loss for us. Only get this if you actually plan to visit up to 5 attractions otherwise it’s a waste
