What is CityPASS?
CityPASS is a popular, dollar-bill-size ticket booklet that contains an actual admission ticket to five or six of the most popular – and famous – attractions in New York, Atlanta, Houston, Philadelphia, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, or Hollywood. You save time and money when you purchase CityPASS. It costs about half the price of regular admissions, and allows you to skip most entrance lines. You’ll have nine days from day of first use to enjoy all the tickets.
Southern California CityPASS offers substantially discounted admission to California’s best theme parks, and 14 consecutive days to get in all the thrills – and sample more of Southern California’s fabulous experiences.

What is a voucher and how do I use it?
An e‑ticket (electronic ticket) is a one-page paper voucher that you print at the time of purchase or later by accessing the e‑ticket attached to your e-mailed order receipt. All vouchers must be printed; attractions will not accept an on-screen view of your voucher, using your mobile device. (At check out, you also have the option to have actual booklets shipped to you by UPS.)
Once printed, you take the pre-paid e‑ticket to the first attraction you plan to visit (within 6 months of purchase) and exchange it for a CityPASS booklet which contains entrance tickets to all the attractions. Exchange locations at each attraction are printed on the e‑ticket. Keep in mind that you may encounter a ticket line when exchanging your e‑ticket.
* vouchers are not currently available for Southern California CityPASS.
