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.

If you can travel 5 points in same day?
We tried to visit 5 places in just one day, but we had to rush through 4 of them. If you're planning to use it for just one day, I recommend getting the 3-attraction pass. In that case, I suggest visiting Shedd Aquarium, Skydeck, and the Art Institute/River tour. It's best to dedicate an entire day to the art gallery.

Chicago
We bought CityPasses for touring Chicago. The best thing we could’ve done. The ease in getting through lines. The quick recognition of the CityPass by admission staff. This is the way to go for us when touring cities in the future. The price wasn’t bad either.

Anniversary Celebration in Chicago
We purchased the CityPASS for our trip to Chicago. I was worried about having issues with the app or having a problem getting into museums, etc. It was so easy. I was very pleased with the passes. The value for the passes was fantastic, too. We used the passes at 5 different attractions: Field Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Skydeck Chicago, Shoreline Architecture Boat Tour, and Shedd Aquarium. If you are going to be in Chicago, I recommend the CityPASS for the value!

Excellent product!
This was the perfect way to enjoy Chicago. Although we had made reservations for a number of attractions, we were able to make changes if we arrived early. We also arrived late for one reservation, and it was no problem. I would purchase a CityPASS in other cities if they were available.

A Time & Money Saver
Using the Chicago CityPASS was one of the best decisions I made for my trip! It saved both time and money. The expedited entry to Skydeck Chicago and 360 CHICAGO was great. No waiting in long queues. The pass included a 4D show at Shedd Aquarium, which was a fun and immersive bonus. Everything was digital no need to print anything. I could easily reserve time slots and access tickets right from my phone.
Only issue I feel it could include Hop on Hop off bus too.

Good Time
I'm satisfied with the price and the easy way it is used to enter the events.
My issue is thst I'm forced to take 2 events scheduled by you. The Sears Tower and the Shedd Aquarium. Which I seen in a prior trip in a CityPASS. I feel that your booking would reflect my prior pass purchase and not force ne to v redo things I've seen. I feel you need to address this on second pass purchases. Otherwise it's been good.

Wonderful experience!
My husband and I bought a CityPASS for our recent trip to Chicago, and we could not have been happier with our choice. It was easy to purchase, navigate, and use at the museums. 10/10 would definitely purchase again.

First-time Chicago Visitor
I was in Chicago from August 9–15 and wanted to explore the city since it was my first visit. I only had two days available because the rest of the week I was attending a business training. While searching for places to visit, I came across the Chicago CityPASS and I’m so glad I did!
With the pass, I visited Shedd Aquarium, Skydeck, 360 Chicago, and also joined the City River Tour. Every experience was worth it, and the pass made it easy and much more affordable than buying separate tickets.
The CityPASS is a great way to see Chicago’s highlights in a short time. It saved me money, avoided the hassle of multiple bookings, and allowed me to really enjoy the city.
Highly recommended if you want convenience, savings, and a full Chicago experience!

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.
