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.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14110.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Vary helpful You get a discount for sure with CityPASS and also skipping the long waiting at the line. It's useful because it gives you ideas for attractions that you haven't thought about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value, Great ideas When you’re a visitor in town, such as my friend and I were in Chicago, CityPASS is fantastic not only for the value, but it gives you more ideas of what is out there to visit. I will definitely use this when I go to other cities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Jam-packed Trip of all the things! CityPASS is such an innovative and convenient way to see all the sights and have an amazing experience when you visit a new city and are on limited time. There was so much to do in Chicago and with CityPASS it was so simple, cost effective and fun! We did 5 attractions and for the skydeck we even had expedited entrance with CityPASS which we didn't expect but we were so grateful for because the line was long. We were only in Chicago for 5 days and what I appreciated is that on the second day we had to reschedule the aquarium because we were exhausted and it was such a simple process.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Need a scared of heights version The City Pass allowed us to skip lines (awesome) and easily get into venues. Since our group was afraid of heights we would have liked a version without the big heights.
