Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable. CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.

Don't pass this up. It's a great deal.
No reason to not use CityPASS. We purchased the CityPASS for Chicago and we were able to squeeze in 5 attractions. We considered only getting the 3 event pass, but purchasing the 5 event pass motivated us to move a little more quickly and plan our time better so we were able to get in more events. This was an excellent way to fit in more events for less money.

CityPASS tickets are worth it!
The CityPASS tickets were well worth the money saved and time saved from standing in line. Super easy to use them on my mobile phone to enter all five locations we chose to visit!
