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!
Boston CityPASS is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 1521.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value and easy to use! My family bought a set of Boston CityPass when we were in town for 3 days. We used all four entries per person - we did the Observation Deck, the Harvard Natural History Museum, a Boat Tour and the New England Aquarium. It felt like we got a good value for the passes and it had exactly what we wanted to do. It was very easy for me to buy and store the passes for the whole family on my phone to quickly scan to enter. Very good experience, we will do this again and recommend to others!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value and Easy to Use We purchased Boston CityPASS, which allowed us to visit 4 attractions in the city. We chose the New England Aquarium, Boston Harbor City Cruise, Museum of Science, and the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Overall, the CityPASS was very easy to use. The mobile tickets were convenient, and the admission process at each attraction was smooth. Purchasing the CityPASS saved us money compared to buying individual tickets and helped us plan our sightseeing itinerary. Our favorite attractions were the New England Aquarium, with its impressive Giant Ocean Tank and diverse marine life, and the Boston Harbor Cruise, which provided great views of the city skyline and historical landmarks. The Museum of Science offered interactive exhibits that were both educational and entertaining for adults and children. The Harvard Museum of Natural History was also worth visiting, especially the famous Glass Flowers collection and fascinating natural history displays. I would recommend Boston CityPASS to anyone planning to visit multiple attractions in Boston. It provides good value, convenience, and access to some of the city's top destinations.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from let us buy a paper ticket we found trying to get the pass on our phone hard. it took ages and tried to get help from the people at the ticket counter where the boat trips were but they just said they couldnt help. some people while travelling dont have great wifi or even any (as its expensive in the usa) so why cant you just buy a paper ticket somewhere, you may get more sales. but after we got it we enjoyed going to the attractions.
