Highlights

  1. 01.

    Sit back and relax as you cruise San Diego Bay. Listen to an entertaining guide share history and highlights of the city while pointing out sites like North Island Naval Air Station, Cabrillo National Monument, USS Midway, and the Star of India—the oldest iron-hulled sailboat still afloat.

  2. 02.

    Enjoy comfortable outdoor seating onboard with panoramic views on the spacious sundecks. Take in the refreshing breeze while gazing over the waters, scanning the landscape as you cruise 20 miles of the San Diego coastline. View the beautiful Coronado Bay Bridge as you pass by Coronado Island and Shelter Island.

  3. 03.

    Capture photos and videos of the sunbathing sea lions and hear the barking as the pups and adults playfully slide on and off the bait barges as you pass by Point Loma. As you cruise back, get a glimpse of Seaport Village, a waterfront shopping and dining complex, and get inspired to shop and dine upon your return to shore.

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 4 out of 5 by from CityPASS is worth it The CityPASS was very helpful to have. It made the process for going to San Diego Zoo, Legoland, and Birch Aquarium very easy and saved money. I do wish it had a few better options for the other passes since we weren't interested in the other offers or it didn't work in our midweek schedule. Still even with not using it for something else it was still a savings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from September 2024 trip to San Diego I bought the San Diego CityPASS in September 2024, when I went to San Diego to see the Padres. Went to the zoo, USS Midway, SeaWorld, and did the Best of the Bay City Cruise. Planning a vacation can be overwhelming, and a CityPASS helps make the plans for you ;) My only regret is I didn't have more time and couldn't do more. The zoo was my favorite thing I did, especially the Giant Pandas!
