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.

Great Value and Easy CityPASS Chicago
The CityPASS for Chicago was great! It was so easy to use with the app. We were able to change times for admission easily as our plans changed. Also, admission was super easy at the locations we went to. We did Shedd Aquarium (got to see 2 4-D shows with it), Adler Planetarium (with 2 shows), Field Museum, and Arch Boat Tour! Download the app for seamless entry and changes.

Easy and worth it!
Thanks CityPASS for making our “deep dive” into the many museums in Chicago easy and worthwhile! Your selection and entrance system for sights and museums just what we had hoped.

partake in multiple Chicago experiences!
CityPASS encouraged us to visit multiple sites and the pass ultimately paid for itself. We especially enjoyed the riverboat architecture tour.

Very good deal and easy to use!!
I found out about CityPASS by accident, while I was looking at a few websites about what to visit in Chicago. It was definitely worth buying it, since it brought significant savings to the tickets of the attraction l visited. I particularly appreciated how the app was already integrated with the websites of the attractions which required reservations, and you could check the availability wothout actually completing the reservations. This made the planning of my visit days much simpler!! The next step would be an integrated calendar showing all availabilities of all attractions into one place :)

Disappointing Experience with Chicago CityPass
Disappointing Experience with Chicago CityPASS
We purchased the Chicago CityPASS with high hopes for exploring the city’s top attractions, but unfortunately, our experience was less than ideal. One major issue was the inaccurate time descriptions provided on the CityPASS website. Several attractions had updated hours or required advanced reservations that were not clearly indicated, which made planning our visit incredibly frustrating.
To make matters worse, we were unable to use the pass due to an unexpected illness. While we understand that external circumstances like sickness are not under the company’s control, the lack of flexibility or refund options left us feeling disappointed.
Overall, we regret purchasing the CityPASS. Clearer, up-to-date information and more flexible policies would make this service much more worthwhile

To save and visit more!
I have used CityPass in NY and Chicago, in both I loved having preferential lines and thus avoiding long lines, I was able to save money on the different main attractions in the cities.
