Seattle CityPASS
Excellent Value and Selection
We highly recommend getting the Seattle CityPASS. We were really overwhelmed with all of the activities when we started planning our trip through Seattle; there is so much to do. It gave us a really well rounded tour of the highlights of Seattle.
The Way to Go
For your money's worth, the CityPASS Seattle is the best way to go. Not only did it include the best attractions in Seattle for the adults, it was perfect for the children, too.
We Rocked Seattle
Our family of four had great fun touring Seattle's best sites! Despite being locals, we don't often get the time to see all the fun family destinations that Seattle has to offer. These passes paid for themselves within the first two locations compared to regular entry fees.
CityPass Seattle
This was one of the coolest things we have ever purchased while traveling and I would recommend it to anyone! We saw all of Seattle, with two little kids, and we did it for half the price.
A no-brainer if you visit Space Needle and more...
Two trips to Space Needle alone is almost the price of the Seattle CityPASS. If you do anything nearby like Chihuly and MoPOP, you're already ahead.
Seattle CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 10486.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommended! Highly recommended - the attractions are very worth it and the pass gives you significant savings vs. purchasing tickets individually. Savings of almost 50% (based on my experience).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seattle by City Pass to Space Needle and sights. City Pass was wonderful and easy to buy and use. We saw spectacular views of the Space Needle, Chihuli. Science museum. Super easy to use. I prebooked and made sure I was there on time. There were so many choices. But staying only 2 days, we easily used the pass. - A wonderful way to see Seattle. Will book again. They also offered the aquarium, boat tour, and a few others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My son and I really saved memories. My son is 15 and I promised him to visit Boeing Factory a couple years ago. I searched what we could do after visiting the factory and ended up purchasing the CityPass tickets. It is absolutely worth for value and you can make plans about the other experiences. CityPass already a good plan and some small additions make your trip to Seattle admirable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great pre-cruise option for Seattle I spent three days in Seattle prior to our cruise to Alaska and decided to used the CityPASS to get tickets for five attractions. My children and I enjoyed the ease of navigating the city to the attractions and using the tickets from the app. We never had to stand in line anywhere to purchase tickets. I will use this again on future travels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great trip with my family I bought CityPASS for my family and I in Seattle. We were able to do all 5 activities during our stay. The app was very easy to use and customer service was fast when needed.
