San Diego CityPASS
Easy to Use
Took my kids to San Diego and got the City pass. Super easy to use the tickets on the phone. They scan them and you're in to the park; no trying to keep up with the tickets anymore. The CityPASS will save you money and time. I'll use it again when I go back next time.
Absolutely no regrets..!!!!
This is a great deal and was our 2nd CityPass experience. Highly recommended. Of course, we crunched all the numbers to make sure it was. Tickets on the app, worked every time, at everyplace we visited. Do it..!!!
Best family vacation we've ever had!
We bought a city pass for our recent trip to San Diego and it was the best decision. We bought the Legoland plus 3 and we used it fully. We chose the Zoo, Aquarium and the Midway Museum. The pass was so easy to use and we had no issues anywhere. We were able to enjoy so many attractions and we saved a lot compared to the regular prices and we were able to buy the city pass in our home currency which was also really nice. Will definitely buy a city pass again in the future.
Loved sunny California!
The citypass was a great deal and very easy to use. This is the second time I have used it and I would do it again. Thank you for making things so easy!
CityPASS was great!
We bought CityPASS on our recent trip to San Diego and it was great. We saved enough money to do something extra special while we were there that made the trip unforgettable. The tickets we received from CityPASS worked seamlessly at all the attractions. Super easy and convenient.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value Purchased CityPASS when my family with young children visited for 10 days in San Diego. We already knew we wanted to go to Legoland and it worked out really good value with the Safari park also. The additional attractions were really good choices and things we may not have considered (aquarium) which meant that we were able to plan a fun week without worrying about paying for added attractions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good value and easy to use. I did all the math and the CityPASS was the most affordable way for my family of 2 to access the 4 activities that interested us: Legoland, San Diego Zoo, Midway Museum, and Birch Aquarium. I used the iOS app and it was helpful that the app pulled up the tickets automatically with the GPS syncing. This helped save me a from searching for the ticket while getting oriented and wrangling my excited child. All of the locations were familiar with the CityPASS option and entry was always easy.
