Attraction program discounts the best visitor favorites in San Francisco, Hollywood and Southern California San Francisco (July 22, 2009)
— Travelers headed to California can see a lot with CityPass. From romantic San Francisco to glitzy Hollywood to the theme park nirvana of Southern California, only CityPass bundles tickets to each area’s premier attractions for dramatic savings. Plus, CityPass uncovers extra fun time in every California visit – holders zip past those long box-office lines because CityPass is a booklet of actual admission tickets. Times may be tight, but along with terrific savings, CityPass delivers extra perks that don’t feel one bit frugal. No blackout dates mean anytime access. A wide open “use by” window gives ample time to explore every attraction in every destination (9 to 14 days from the date the first ticket is redeemed). California attractions pile on the extras and upgrades to make sure CityPass visitors enjoy their best vacation ever. San Francisco CityPass is bursting with the scenic and unique temptations of California’s City by the Bay. This is the first summer of the dazzling debut of San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences after its extreme makeover as an all-new complex—uniting the original 12 buildings into one avant-garde structure beneath a 2.5 acre living roof flourishing with native California plants and wildflowers. Esteemed architect Renzo Piano’s modern, transparent interior brings Golden Gate Park into the museum, while up top, the grassy roof dips and rises over the planetarium, rainforest, and aquarium exhibits inside. Signature attractions still include a bay cruise under the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge, or the option of a few hours on “the rock” for a glimpse of life on Alcatraz. And no one can resist riding the cable cars climbing half way to the stars. Valid for nine days from first use, San Francisco CityPass includes one admission to each of the following attractions: A 7-day MUNI public transportation pass including cable cars, light rail and the entire city bus system, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39, Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise Adventure, and an option for either the de Young Museum and sister venue California Legion of Honor (if visited on the same day) or the Exploratorium science museum. Adult pricing is $59.00, a savings of $56.40, youth 5-12, $39.00, a savings of $32.95. Visitors can opt for a tour of Alcatraz instead of a bay cruise when purchasing CityPass booklets from Alcatraz Cruises at Pier 33 or by calling 415-981-ROCK(7625). Rates are valid through February 28, 2010. Hollywood CityPass delivers the Walk of Fame star treatment, exploring all the lore and legends fans hope to get from Tinseltown. On August 1, Hollywood adds its biggest new attraction this year, Madame Tussauds Hollywood, located next to the world-famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, housed in a 40,000 square foot, three story contemporary building and the first Madame Tussauds, in the company’s 200-year history, to be built from the ground up. Classic attractions that never lose their appeal include touring movie stars’ front lawns from their bus window and strolling Hollywood Boulevard for plenty of backstage dirt in the historic movie palaces that house decades of silver screen nostalgia. Academy Awards buffs shouldn’t miss a tour of the Kodak Theatre, permanent home of the Oscars®. Hollywood CityPass is valid for nine days from first use and includes one admission to the following attractions: A behind-the-scenes tour of the Walk of Fame with Red Line Tours, tour of movie stars’ homes from Starline Tours of Hollywood, an option between The Hollywood Museum in the Historic Max Factor Building or a guided tour of the Kodak Theatre, and either the Hollywood Wax Museum or the new Madame Tussauds Hollywood. Adults, $59.00, a savings of $44.95, youth 3-11, $49.00, a savings of $35.00. For the ultimate SoCal vacation, pair Hollywood CityPass with Southern California CityPass. Rates are valid from August 1, 20098 to February 28, 2010. Southern California CityPass delivers a theme park Promised Land that stretches from Hollywood to San Diego, making this California’s most popular region. From Mickey and Goofy at Disneyland to larger-than-life Shamu at SeaWorld, all the theme park celebrities are ready for their close-up. Disneyland® is the mother lode for most theme park lovers, and the park is returning the love to CityPass users with a bounty of bonuses befitting the Happiest Place on Earth. Visitors with a Southern California CityPass who happen to visit Disneyland on their birthday this year get a choice of extras—a merchandise card good at select shops, FastPass privileges or a free return visit on another day. The booklet includes six days of park admissions, savings of 29% and is valid for 14 days from first use, including: A Disneyland Resort 3-Day Park Hopper Bonus ticket for Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park™ including one early entrance to Disneyland Park, one day at Universal Studios Hollywood, and in San Diego, one day at SeaWorld and one day at the San Diego Zoo or the Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. Adults, $259.00, a savings of $106.00, youth 3-9, $219.00, a savings of $87.00. Rates valid through January 2, 2010. CityPass is sold at each city’s participating attractions or at www.citypass.com.
