San Antonio CityPASS
Great Value
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.
Great Money Saver

Rated 5 out of 5 by from City Pass was WORTH IT!!!!! The city pass in San Antonio was well worth it. We went to the San Antonio zoo, which was fabulous. We went to the Whitt Museum, which was so well done. We so enjoyed the San Antonio river cruise down the Riverwalk We went to the Doseum which the children did not want to leave. It made us stay in San Antonio so easy to purchase tickets from one vendor to enjoy four out of of the eight options that were offered I would definitely purchase it again.
