Boston CityPASS
Fun to be had in Boston with the CityPASS
The CityPASS made site seeing so simple. We loved not having to wait in long lines for tickets and the locations on the CityPASS were kid approved. The passes were well worth the investment! Worth the Savings
The CityPASS for Boston was well worth it. We saved a significant amount of money visiting the museums and taking the cruise tour. Had a memorable time and it was worth it!Boston CityPASS experience
Tasked by my wife to plan a 3-day weekend in Boston, CityPASS was the perfect choice to save us money and see the sights. Totally worth it!
I bought a CityPASS for our trip to Boston and it was perfect. We went to the Museum of Science (the best!), the Franklin Park Zoo and the New England Aquarium. It was easy to schedule the visits and the passes were right on our phones. Also the price was just right. There were 4 of us, so technically one of the visits was free. Highly recommend Buying the passes.What a Bargain!
I spent three days in Boston in mid-December with my girlfriend and thankfully, she got us onto a CityPASS. I had no idea they even existed and in hindsight we saved ourselves the equivalent of a whole night's accommodation!

Great Way to Experience Boston
CityPass is a great way to see what a city has to offer in terms of arts & culture, science and entertainment. I use them every time I visit a new city, and gives me the freedom to check out places I wouldn't otherwise. Also, traveling with a young child we often cannot stay for hours on end. The CityPass offers such a great deal, I don't feel like I need to maximize my time at any single experience to make it worth the cost of entry. The CityPass is such a good deal we can go, have fun for a few hours, and leave for a nap feeling we got out money's worth.

Nice!
These tickets made getting into different places so much easier than it would have been without. I appreciated having some choice in which attractions to get tickets for.

CityPASS is a must when traveling.
I have been so impressed with how affordable and easy CityPASS is for when we travel. We got one in Atlanta and then again in Boston and got access to all the things we wanted to see and just visiting two places with the pas more than paid for the pass itself.

Great way to see the sights!
I'm so happy that I discovered the CityPASS before our trip to Boston. It made it very easy to purchase tickets for the things we wanted to do - no standing in lines, no trying to dig up emails with confirmation numbers. AND we saved a bunch of money!

Great way to see Boston
This was a great way to see Boston. I wish we had more time on the tour but it was only because of the heat. We will do this again in the fall.

Great for groups
Citypass made it easier than trying to buy individual passes for every event. I couldnt find the zoo unfortunately but we did everything else. By the end of the day my granddaughter was very exhausted. She loved the museum of science and aquarium. Ty for making my trip easy.

Good Sites, not so good terms
We bought a cityPASS in Boston. Setup reservations for our last day there, but it turns out our flight was canceled so we ended up with an extra day in town. By this point, it was too late to cancel the reservation, so we missed out on a museum. I wish the system could tell if a ticket wasn't scanned / a reservation canceled, versus manually canceling by a certain time. Maybe we could have reached out to customer service, but after dealing with the airlines, it was a low priority. Otherwise, it was a great way to see the city for a great price!

Good deal
A good bargain if you want to do these things. You need to plan a little bit; make reservations for some places. My family was able to do 4 events in 3 days without rushing.
