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.

A Must-Have for Travelers!
CityPASS made exploring top attractions incredibly easy and affordable. The app is super user-friendly, and having all my tickets in one place saved me so much time and hassle—no printing or waiting in line! I loved the flexibility it offered; I could plan my days around what I wanted to see without feeling rushed. Plus, the savings were real—I visited several big-name spots for a fraction of the regular price. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to make the most of their trip without breaking the bank.

Highly recommend!
I’m so happy we bought the 5 attraction CityPASS during our recent trip to Chicago. It saved us a ton and the app was so easy to use to coordinate everything. I had booked most of our reservations ahead of time and was easily able to change a few of them to different times (even when making a same day change). I definitely recommend!

This is LEGIT! A must use for any traveler!
I came across this online and at first was like "there has to be a catch." Well, we just used CityPASS for our recent vacation and it is truly legit! Not only did it save us lots of time (and even helped zero in on what we wanted to focus on during our trip) but it saved us lots of time because for most attractions, CityPASS entitles you to a sort of "fast track" that bypasses the regular lines. We were able to go right to the front. I will ALWAYS use CitiPASS anytime I travel going forward. Thank you!

A terrific Chicago vacation
I bought CityPass for our recent Chicago vacation. It was so easy to use. We also were able to use the express on Skywalk and 360. It was nice not having to wait in the regular line. The Shoreline River boat was a an interesting choice to learn about Chicago. We had a great time at all of our attractions and saved money. Would definitely recommend CityPass if you want to save money and have a great time not waiting in lines on vacation.

I really recommend this
I purchased a CityPASS for my trip to Chicago, and it was a fantastic decision. It made exploring the city’s top attractions so much easier and more affordable. I loved how flexible it was—I could adjust my schedule and change my attraction times (as long as it was at least an hour in advance) without any issues. Planning each day was simple, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend getting the CityPASS if you’re visiting Chicago!
