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!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Could not book attraction Researched attractions before purchasing CityPASS. Wanted to do the 90 minute bay cruise and checked the website to confirm open spots. Bought CityPASS and immediately tried to book. No spots available. Went back to bay cruise website and sites are still showing available. Called CityPass the next day after trying again, Customer service said plenty of spots available and this rarely sells out. Had no idea why I couldn't book. Had to speak to someone else in the company to try to figure out what is happening. Called back 20 minutes later and said CityPASS only gets a limited amount of tickets to the bay cruise and could not get us on even though tickets could still be purchased. Suggested I keep trying up until the time of the cruise to see if they would release tickets. Kept trying with no luck. There should be a way of warning the customer that even though tickets show available you could still be denied.
