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 14578.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Half and Half.... I bought the City Pass because some of the things we did were things I did when I was a kid. I enjoyed the Skydeck experience- that was a bucket list item for me. The Shoreline Architecture Boat tour was my favorite and the Field Museum was pretty good. The Museum of Science and Industry was the most disappointing part of the trip. So much of the activities/displays were broken. The aquarium was not bad, but for the money I spent I would rather limit it to 3 instead of 5 and do more Chicago history and culture stuff than the tourist trap activities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing experience Truly amazing and must have. So many hidden benefits from this. Worth getting it We had a very smooth experience with this pass On busy days or weekends, try to make reservations 48 hours prior that’s the only thing I would recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from CityPASS is AWESOME! Yes, yes, YESSS!!!!! Use CityPASS!!!! I used CityPASS for the first time during my trip to Chicago, and I was honestly a little skeptical because I have always booked through the direct vendor and the the price seemed almost too good to be true for everything it included, BUT it turned out to be one of the best purchases I made! As a first-time visitor to Chicago, CityPASS made it easy and affordable to experience so many of the city's top attractions. The entire process was simple, and everything worked exactly as promised. What really stood out was the customer service. They were friendly, responsive, and more than willing to accommodate my schedule by helping me change and adjust reservation times when needed. I would highly recommend CityPASS to anyone visiting Chicago. It saved me money, made planning easy, and helped make my first trip an amazing experience!
