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.

Handy tourist hack
I had planned to hit all the typical tourist spots. This pass grouped them all together in one location for a discounted price. It forces you to see a couple sites, but gives a variety of places you may want to see as well.
I think it would have been a 5 star review if it was obvious as to which location QR code was tha actual ticket for admission and which ones needed further steps to download or print tickets to the attraction. It wasn’t a huge inconvenience to stand in a line we didn’t need to be in, but would have been a better experience if I knew before reaching the location what I had to do to to avoid lines.

Do CityPass!
I bought CityPass for a 3-day Chicago vacation and found that CityPass was the way to go! Got us some expedited access in some cases, but overall simply made it very convenient to access the major sites while saving us some money. Highly recommended!

Excellent way to see Chicago
I bought CityPASS for a trip I took recently with my daughter to Chicago. For chicago, it was well worth it because it was very easy to get our money’s worth. Only reason for a 4 vs 5 star is because the app didn’t work consistently which made for a small, but manageable pain

100% recommended!
I bought the 5-attraction CityPASS during my visit to Chicago and it was a great experience. The purchase process is very simple and fast, and the app is easy to use for choosing and booking activities. Highly recommended for those who want to see the city's main tourist attractions!
