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.

Great Bargain
Is a great value for all the attractions you get to go to. Was amazing for my family! Was really impressed with: The Zoo, NASA, the Natural History Museum, and the Children's Museum. Less impressed with the Aquarium, but it was fun as well. The kids loved our week!

Great Value!
We bought CityPass tickets in Houston for a short 4 day getaway. It was a fantastic value even though we only got to use two days because of sickness. That is the only thing I wish was different is that we could have "paused" or tickets or something to be able to come back and visit the additional places. Again, it was still cheaper for the two things we did visit.

Absolutely Worth It!
I bought CityPASS for my trip to Houston and I’m so glad I found it when I did! We did five attractions and had a blast. Within the first 2 attractions, CityPASS paid for itself for 2 adults and one child. I found it when it was on sale for $79 for adults and $69 for children. I definitely recommended it to several family members and friends! And I recommend it now! Definitely buy the pass. You’ll eliminate the headache of trying to budget out for admission, food and other expenses.

The always enjoy every attraction
Once again I bought the Houston city pass for my mom, sister and my boys. This will be something I will do once a year with the family. It gives us great memories and we always have fun together.

Waste of money
I bought something like this for the 1st time but I lost money because Zoo closed at 1pm on the day when I wanted to visit it, Museum of Fine Arts was free on Thursday and NASA closed 2h earlier on the day I was planning to visit it so I needed to change my plans for 2 days and I had to let go Kemah Boardwalk. So next time I will definitely pay for each attraction separately and if it’s closed I simply won't spend the money.

Excellent value!
I was very happy with the CityPASS. My family went to the Zoo, museums and NASA. It was nice not having to wait in lines. I didn't calculate the savings, but I am fairly sure I paid a lot less than if I bought individual tickets.

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.
