Chicago C3
Great value!
Bought the pass for a family trip to Chicago and was pleased with the purchase. App was easy to use, attractions were great.
Helpful
Great list of options to pick from! Choose one excursion for each day of our quick 3 night vacation.
CityPASS was well worth it!
Super glad we bought the CityPASS C3. We did the aquarium, Navy Pier Ferris wheel and Hancock 360. It was absolutely worth it!
Great Value for Short-term Stay
I bought CityPASS for my trip and absolutely loved it. You can choose to see the attractions you want to see with great savings and flexibility of time.
Great way to see the best of Chicago!
We only had 4 days in Chicago and the C3 was a perfect fit. We enjoyed each activity and reservations were easy to make, and revise, as needed.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14580.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely unforgettable!! I bought Chicago city pass and I love it. It was hassle free and got VIP entry to skydeck which saved lot of time and it is very convenient.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from expensive for 2 attractions..better for three for my trip duration weather was cloudy and rainy which avoided skydeck view. It would have been better for me if i bought separate tickets for aquarium and sightseeing. City pass was expensive compared with value for those two attractions. rest attractions could not visit due to short time for trip.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Half and Half.... I bought the City Pass because some of the things we did were things I did when I was a kid. I enjoyed the Skydeck experience- that was a bucket list item for me. The Shoreline Architecture Boat tour was my favorite and the Field Museum was pretty good. The Museum of Science and Industry was the most disappointing part of the trip. So much of the activities/displays were broken. The aquarium was not bad, but for the money I spent I would rather limit it to 3 instead of 5 and do more Chicago history and culture stuff than the tourist trap activities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Totally worth it! CityPASS was a great value, super easy to use to book (and modify) reservations! Nice to have everything in one app vs having to go to 5 different websites to book and pay for each experience. Would recommend and use again!
