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 14499.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Make a plan! We had 3 days in Chicago and we selected 5 venues to visit... Day1: Shedd Aquarium. Day 2: Skydeck, Hancock 360, Architectural river boat cruise. Day 3: Art Institute of Chicago. Whew, that's a lot, but it was well worth it for the money and for the express pass so we could skip the lines! The Pass was a great value for the money and a time saver at that! I would highly recommend this option if you plan on utilizing your time in Chicago!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Convenience to enter each attractions We have purchased CityPASS 5. We have been 360 Chicago, Field Museum, The art institute of Chicago, Skydeck Chicago, and Shoreline Sightseeing. All attractions were so fun, would like to recommended all attractions. This citypass was so easy, quickly to enter to each attractions, just show the QR then they scan the QR only at each gate. If you have no this citypass, you need to input your information like address, phone number e.t.c. when you purchase each ticket to their vending machine. If you can visit at least 3 or 5 attractions, I recommended to get this citypass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Great I bought a CityPASS for Chicago two weeks ago for this last week. I went to the two "mandatory" attractions and pick three others. When needed to make a reservation, I did just one or two days before and it was great! The museums are AMAZING, Skyjack and the Shedd Aquarium as well. The architecture cruise was also great, even though I did not understand everything from the guide. I really recommend the CityPASS (also bought it for Seattle).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth system, good value I brought a cityPASS for two for a two day layover in Chicago, we managed to use four of the five tickets, and i still consider it great value. Ticketing was very slick, even when you had to go to the venues website to make reserved time slots, it worked very smoothly.
