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 14494.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good Value, some flexibility limits We bought city Passes as part of a week-long planned outing to Chicago. The pass did provide us with access to the primary attractions we wanted to see, Field Museum, science and Industry, art institute, Shedd Aquarium and the observation deck. It had the perk of providing us with a pass for special exhibits/programs at several of these places. My only criticism might be that we had reserved spots at science and industry and were unable to go because of illness. There was no way to cancel our reservation or preserve it for a later day. Overall, these were a very good value.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Double check if they take city pass We went to the 360 Chicago, and they wouldn't let us in They that they only allow many with city pass in. And that was one of the reasons we got the city pass Double check if they take city pass, even if it's listed

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent trips We bought CityPASS for our trip to Chicago and were really happy with them. We had no problem booking any of the sites we wanted to visit although the Aquarium was booked up quickly. Being able to fast track the queues for the lifts and photo box at the Willis Tower was especially helpful. The boat tour was excellent.
