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 good value
Excellent value. In addition to entry at the museums, you get tickets to some exhibits that are extra charge. Only down side is that 2 of the 5 venues are automatic, leaving only 3 additional options. We di not use one of the automatics, so got less than full value. Still worth it.
And get the CTA 3 or 5 day pass. Everything on Cty Pass is accesable by public transportation which also saves a lot.

TAKE FIELD OFF
FIELD Museum must not be on CityPASS... It's falling apart, there's NOTHING that wow us. Being a huge fan of museums, traveling, art and sience... FIELD must be renewed or taked off! everything else it's great.

Don’t go to Chicago without it
I bought CityPASS for our 3 day trip to Chicago. It was incredibly easy to use and saved us a lot of money. The pass includes a 4d experience at the Shed Aquarium, which was incredible. Admission at the Field Museum included all of the special exhibits and expedited admission at SkyDeck allows you to skip the lines. Without it, you are going to pay a lot more. Buy it and you will be all set.
