I purchased a CityPASS for my family and loved all the places we visited. My kids had a blast and it saved us a ton of money!
Super Convenient
We had so much fun and all attractions are close to each other. We are definitely using CityPASS again. Saved a lot using them. Thanks CityPASS.
Very fun assortment for San Antonio
Bought the CityPASS for the two of us. Easy to purchase. No questions anywhere we went to use the pass. Perfect and saved money too.
Amazing Deal
If you plan on going to San Antonio and want to experience the best it has to offer, I highly recommend purchasing the CityPASS. It will save you a few bucks along the way, and we were able to access it straight from our phones, so that made it even better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing time in San Antonio Glad I found this site while googling we got to explore 4 amazing locations off the list! I let the kids pick since it was their Spring Break! The Tower of Americas, Zoo, Museum of Art, and the Botannical Garden...it was too hot that day. And of course we did the Riverwalk and Go Rio tours! I would def recommend getting a City pass for any city that has them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Choice without a doubt! Wonderful experience with ease of buying and using it at the choice of our exhibit. I also had to request partial refund due to sudden illness and that was respected and approved with a quick email. I highly recommend it and looking forward to use it on our next trip.
