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 1543.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing experience!! Super easy to use, hustle free. We didn’t have any issues. It was super easy to make the reservations through the app. I’ve used other passes similar to CityPASS and they’re a headache having to call the places and getting codes, some places don’t even know what to do with the pass but it wasn’t the case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value While planning a trip to Boston, I listed out lots of activities presented them to my family. Duck Boats, the Aquarium and the Science Museum were at the top of the list. I looked at CityPASS and a similar alternative and while CityPASS did not include the Duck Boats or as many options as the alternative, it did offer a better value on the things we were interested in seeing. Once we settled on CityPASS and I downloaded the app, I was sure we made the right choice. It was so easy to schedule (and reschedule) our visits and then to pull up our tickets when we got to the venue. We made some last minute changes to which tickets we were going to use based on other things we wanted to do once we got there and all of it was easy to do.
