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 14557.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pefect for 3 to 5 day stay with children I used CityPASS during my 4-night stay in Chicago in the summer. It’s really worth it because it gives you enough time to do the 5 activities you can select from their offer. It saves you time, paperwork, and money. I found it especially convenient when traveling with an 11-year-old child since attractions like the Science Museum and the Aquarium are perfect outings for them. You also save quite a bit of time in the lines to go up to the different observation decks. It does not include the Tilt attraction inside the 360 Observation Deck.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Unhappy I am not very happy with CityPASS and their refund policy. My daughter and I bought the services for our trip to Chicago and was able to use 2 of the 5 services we purchased. My daughter for very ill and we were unable to use the rest of our tickets. I was unable to cancel the rest of our tickets in a timely manner, due to tending to my daughters illness. We were not issued a refund because we did not follow policy, despite our situation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great idea What a great idea! Not only does the CityPASS save money but also a lot of time! My group used it for the Art Institute, the Field Museum and the boat tour as well as the aquarium and Skydeck. What a relief to realize we didn’t need to stand in the long lines to get in! I highly recommend purchasing this if you plan on visiting these sights.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s not just saving you money. It’s VIP service We originally seen city pass when in Toronto, we weren’t there long enough to buy one. So when I see about one for Chicago we looked into it, I just thought we were saving money on the excursions, little did I know we would get VIP service at some places, skipped the line of 100 people at the sky deck and got an elevator to ourselves!! That saved us an hour of precious time waiting. We were leaving the attraction and people still hadn’t gone up. Super happy we bought them, not only did I save about 400US but we got bonuses we didn’t account for! And since we had the passes we ended up doing 5 places because we had time, we only planned on 4. Great experience

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value, so convenient and fun! I live in the area, but had never used CityPASS. Some friends from out of town visited and so we all purchased one, and it was phenomenal! Expedited tickets to the Sear’s (Willis) Tower, ease of use for all the attractions we saw, and so many things we were able to do for the amazing CityPASS price. What an amazing experience! CityPASS streamlined everything and made our experience just perfect!
