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.
Seattle CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 10239.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Money Saver Purchased the Seattle CityPASS and was extremely happy with the ease of use and the huge savings it provided. It more than pays for itself, with as few as two of the main attractions. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seattle CityPASS FTW I bought Seattle CityPASS for myself and two kids and we had a great time visiting the top tourist destinations at a lower cost. It was easy to make reservations for the sites that required it, and very easy to enter with the CityPASS tickets. Would recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely recommend! Bought CityPASS for 2 adults and 2 teens for trip to Seattle. Definitely recommend for a family. Recommend to download the app and access tickets from there, so easy to scan in to places for entry! The cost savings allowed us to go to 2 extra places we wouldn’t have otherwise gone to. The app tells you which require timed entry and which do not so you can plan your itinerary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Customer Service is on point!!! I booked several group reservations through CityPASS for 26 people!! I had some trouble putting together those reservations for the different attractions for so many people (not advisable!), so I sent a support request email. Well within the hour I received a call from Chrissy who went above and beyond to get my reservations in!!! So happy (:

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value for CityPASS Seattle Great value for some key sightseeing experiences in Seattle. CityPASS Seattle was a great purchase. Possibly upgrade the cruise from a harbor cruise to a cocktail cruise or dinner cruise would be nice.
