Weekday mornings tend to be the least crowded. Plan to spend an hour or two so you can take in the expansive views and fully experience the interactive exhibits. Give yourself extra time if you want to enjoy a cocktail (available for purchase after 3pm).

Don't miss Summer Reimagined, a bold new immersive experience open through Sept. 7 that brings the beauty of the outdoors to the 52nd floor, allowing you to soak in the magic of the season in a weather-proof space. The exhibit blends bold colors, interactive design moments, floral meadows, and dramatic ceiling treatments to create an iconic backdrop for your visit and photo memories.

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 1516.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sí, lo recomiendo !!!! Me pareció una excelente aplicación. Muy práctica y fácil de utilizar. Mi hijo y yo escogimos el New England Acuario, el crucero por la bahía, el museo de Harvard y el Observatory y la pasamos muy. Tenía pena porque debía escogerse horarios pero hay tantas opciones que casi puedes escoger de un momento a otro el ingreso; al menos a principios de mayo que hicimos el viaje a Boston. Inclusive tuve un problema inconveniente que mi tarjeta registró doble cobro y el personal a través de email, me apoyaron y se logró el reintegro. Qué necesitas ?? Descargar la aplicación, pagar, correo electrónico e internet, únicamente eso !!! Si lo recomiendo y aparte ahorras !!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value I was looking for a discount to the New England Aquarium for my visit to Boston and that's when I came across CityPASS. The ticket is a great value. All four of the attractions that I chose were a great day. Good way to see Boston!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So worth it! I'm so glad I bought the CityPASS during our time in Boston. If you are going to visit at least three (and better still, four) of the events offered you save a bundle. I added it up and we saved $145 for three people. Not only do you save money but you also save having to stand in ticket purchase lines, so you walk right in to everything with no wait. Great deal all around!
