Dallas CityPASS
Fantastic deal!
We got to see all the sights we were going to see anyway, at a fraction of the cost. Definitely made our trip planning (and budgeting) so much easier. Loved all the places we visited.
Made it to almost all the museums. Good deal!
Buddy and I made a quick dallas trip and this pass was a great way to see a lot the city has to offer. Definitely better and cheaper to go this route if you plan on seeing 3 or 4 of the venues.
CityPASS is a must!
If you want to do the tourist thing whether you’re a visitor or a "Dallasite" then the CityPASS is a must-get.
Great way to see everything and save money, too!
I have 3 granddaughters and I am always looking for ways to entertain and educate them without breaking the bank. The CityPASS was a real blessing! I purchased the Dallas CityPASS and we were able to see and do something new and exciting every day!
Dallas CityPASS
The CityPASS is a win-win situation. You get to plan your stay better knowing that you WILL be visiting those sites and avoids the hassle of standing in line to purchase the tickets. Fast, quick, economical and FUN!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth it Not worth it if you are local. Didn’t see the 9 day to use it or lose it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never disappoints I have purchased CityPASS in several cities. The most recent was Dallas. It was amazing. I did the Perot nature and Science museum. It is a must see. The Star- practice facility for the Dallas Cowboys (because we couldn't do the stadium tour due to the Fifa soccer games). But, wow the practice facility is amazing. I did the zoo and the reunion tower, both were good. I do with the aquarium would have been an option. But, you can't offer everything. All in all this pass saved us a lot of $$$$. Thanks

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great deal! I bought the CityPASS when I went to Dallas to see my Guardians play the Rangers. I appreciated that the Reunion Tower, Perot, and Holocaust & Human Rights Museum were all so close together. I was visiting family members with young kids, so we did the zoo for the fourth thing. A very fun weekend!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from CityPASS helps explore Dallas CityPASS was a good investment for my trip to Dallas. I enjoyed the ease of entering the attractions with just one ticket software as opposed to needing to remember where multiple emails were. I wish that it would have been clearer on which attraction required reservations upon purchase of the CityPASS as opposed to when you went to redeem. But otherwise a good purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Deal for Must See Dallas Sites CityPASS was one of my best experiences in Dallas. I used to Zoo, Holocaust Museum, Perot Museum and Reunion Tower Tickets. It was super easy to use at each venue (reserve Perot museum and Reunion Tower Tickets ahead of time). The Holocaust Museum was one I probably wouldn't have visited without the CityPASS but was an exceptional museum that helped me to revisit history and inspire me to be better human. The hologram interactive theater with victims of the holocaust was a must do!
