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 14702.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the price! Super worth it, specially if visiting over a couple of days. We visited the field museum, the aquarium and the planetarium, will definitely purchase again when I return next time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I’d do it again was a fun a time and a hunt! They should still give incentives to veterans … far as the tilt wall… I should come with a lift promotion too or discount CT’s pass… or even better discounted parking..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best way to enjoy Chicago's main attractions It was the best purchase. I was in Chicago with six other family members visiting someone who lives there, and a niece who resides in the city recommended that we buy the CityPASS package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely convince With this pass, I saved a lot of money. I visited 5 places; they were all amazing, and the times were very flexible. I can reschedule at the last minute without any issues. I can show up early, and they accepted my ticket. I had a great pass to have.
