Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable. CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.

The Chicago Top 5 at nearly half the price!
CityPass got me into the Art Institute, the Willis Tower observation deck, the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium at nearly half the a la carte price. It's easy to purchase, easy to use and every first timer to Chicago--or even a returning visitor like myself--should get out with CityPass and see their own Chicago Top 5!

Excellent time saver
The CityPass was great. The first reservation was tricky ( seniors with some? technology knowledge), so we just called and got instant help. From there on we could do it. It sure beat standing in line!

Great Purchase!
Glad we found this before our trip! Had we broken out the cost to see each attraction, it would have cost a lot more! Boat tour is 75 min. Plan for 3+ hours in Art Institute. And definitely bring patience with you when you head up to the observation deck (the line was so long we didn’t actually get to stand in the boxes)!
Reservations ahead of time for the main attractions are a must.

An excellent value and a ton of fun
Got CityPASS Chicago for a short trip and it was worth every penny. A few of the attractions had a fast pass that we automatically got, which saved a ton of time. Everything included was fun, we got great pictures and made some amazing memories. For Chicago, we recommend the Architecture Boat Tour!

Easy way to see Chicago
Stumbled across the CityPass. Easy, less expensive way to visit Chicago. Doing some quick math, it appeared CityPass was the best option. You can create your own itinerary with several places to choose from. Definitely recommend getting the CityPass.
