Atlanta CityPASS
Exceptional Value and Time Saver to boot!
There simply is no other way to hit the hot spots in Atlanta than with CityPASS.
Summer Fun
Had an amazing "staycation" with my daughter. We were able to experience Atlanta the way it should be. CityPASS is an amazing deal. I will certainly be doing this again!!!
Highly Recommended
I do not just recommend the Atlanta CityPASS; I highly recommend it. This would be our first time vacationing in Atlanta, and it was great. I had no previous knowledge about a CityPASS, but it turned out to be a game changer. We visited all the main attractions without going BROKE!
Great Value!
Over three days, we viewed 5 great attractions, each of which made us all say "wow."
Atlanta CityPASS
We loved it. We were party of seven and this was the best way to see the city. It helped us plan and see 'must-see' places in Atlanta. It actually helped us connect with few other Atlanta pass holders who were also out of town visitors like us.
Atlanta CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7288.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Helpful with organizing trip CityPASS made our holiday plans easy by having information all in one place. I only wish tickets were active for the whole year and not a countdown once activated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it! I love how easy it was to use the Atlanta CityPASS. I simply pulled up the tickets sent to my email and it was scanned as we enter the attraction. No need to wait in line to get tickets. There was no blackout dates or timed reservations needed either. The same pass was scanned no matter what attraction we visited. So easy. So fast. And most importantly, we saved money. It was cheaper to buy the CityPASS than to purchase all the attractions individually.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from This CityPASS is not worth it. Not worth it. The 9 day restriction doesn't make sense. You will never be able to visit all of the places without rushing and ending extremely tired. Also, the only ones that are actuality interesting are the acuarium and coca cola world, and even the coca cola one is nothing impressive - old exhibits and just a few, no translation for foreigners and some of them closed. The pass does not include the $20 parking fee, and you are definitely not going to visit things in the same day so be prepared to pay multiple times. It should also include the botanical garden.... anyways, I don't think the price was worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Atlanta is a beautiful magical city in the forest! Our family bought the CityPASS when we visited Atlanta and it was a really good deal. We went to the Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta Zoo & Coca-Cola World and would have liked to see more places on the CityPASS, but unfortunately we did not have enough time to see everything that we wanted to in the city. We fell in love with Atlanta and can't wait to go back and see some more of the beautiful, magical city in the forest!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth it 2 of the venues that I tried to visit during my stay were closed for private events, so simply just lost that money
