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.
Houston CityPASS is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4307.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent ticket app and savings I was very pleased with the ability to purchase a CityPASS for our stay in Houston. It covered all the places that we wanted to visit and saved us money. Using the app was super easy to use at each of the venues that we visited. We plan to purchase again next time we are in Houston.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value and perks Very convenient when visiting Houston with an 8-year-old child, we for to enjoy five places that together would’ve meant so much more money spent. We also got the discount at the gift stores which was a nice perk. Would definitely recommend getting it.
