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 7377.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great purchase! We decided to do CityPass for our trip to Atlanta & it was awesome! So easy to use and we got to take in all the sites and museums we aimed to do. Definitely recommend and we will use it again on future trips to other locations.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not happy I bought 4 passes we had fun but all the places close early at 5 and rush you out no to mention there’s no parking and you have to pay 25 dollars for garage parking (only parking available) to be told all 3 places are closing in next hour. There was hurricane warnings and couldn’t have fun days we wanted to without being rushed so we were rushed on the ones we did and missed out on 2-3 other attractions. I asked for refund but never got an email back

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and a breeze to use Well worth the price for all the attractions included especially for the Georgia Aquarium. Easy to use and got into each attraction hassle free.
