Southern California CityPASS
Easy and convenient
Was easy to navigate through offers and if needed, the details were broken down simply; everything was in one place so you know exactly what you're getting. Second time using citypass. Definitely most efficient way to get main attractions tickets.
Easy and affordable
So happy we did the CityPASS. We did LegoLand, SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo and saved a lot of $ compared to their sites and gate fees!
Amazing experience
It was easy and fast. I bought the Legoland tickets and was happy I did. I had the best ticket prices for four. I was also satisfied with the chats I had with a rep who answered all my concerns. I will for sure use the City PASS on my next trip.
Big savings and smooth process
I liked it and will use it again. It saved me money towards the original ticket price and the process was very smooth and easy!
