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 14465.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value We bought CityPASS for our trip to Chicago, and it was 100% worth it. The price was more than fair, and having all the tickets in one place was a bonus. We will definitely consider this option if we travel to any other cities they have offerings for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Certainly useful and comfortable I used CityPASS for a two day trip and I think was the best thing I could've done, I did all the five activities I selected with no complications. I think this pass is better than others since it is realistic in terms of time, the fact that gives you 9 days to do all your five activities and doesn't increase the price for days is good so you can really enjoy the visit.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Better for totally new visitors to an area. While it is true that CityPASS did save me money overall on the places we visited, I found the descriptions of the attractions to be a bit misleading, especially the "What is Included " in several of thje museum packages. An example, the Field Museum recently changed their policy and you do NOT get a choice between the two exhibitions or the 3D movies. Fortunately for us, one of the staff there was willing to make an exception for us when we pointed out what was on the CityPASS page of the download. But there were other issues at other venues that I though should have been clearer in the CItyPASS descriptions .For someone totally unfamiliar with an area it is probably a good way to see some key sites in a city. But for someone who was very familiar with the city, it was kind of a letdown.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect way to get to see many sought-after venues CityPASS was a perfect way to see so many of the highly sought-after activities in Chicago. It was definitely worth the price, easy to use, and I am so glad that I decided to purchase them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent I found the CityPASS to be very worthwhile. We were able to access all the attractions included, and I thought the cost was excellent. The access and ticket delivery were very easy, all through the app, and I didn’t have any problems at all. I highly recommend it with confidence.
