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!

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.

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!

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.
