San Francisco CityPASS
Amazing
So happy I bought the citypass in San Francisco. It helped make my trip there unforgettable. Would definitely do it again!
Great
I bought Citypass for my boyfriend’s birthday to show him some cool places in the city and I thought it was perfect. We went to four different places, and it was extremely affordable. 10/10 would recommend.
Great Deal
Easy to use and save you quite a bit of money. Our family had a trip to San Francisco and didn’t know what to do out there and this gave us a great option to enjoy activities as a family while still getting to know parts of San Francisco.
Great value for money!
It was a great trip and we loved the city pass . Will definitely recommend !!
NorCal CityPASS
We had an amazing experience visiting Northern California and much of it had to do with the activities included within the San Francisco CityPASS we purchased. Thank you, CityPASS, for helping to create lasting memories for my family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great way to see San Francisco for a family of 4! The CityPASS option was great for our family of 4 to tour San Francisco sites! As many tours and attractions are pricey, this one price CityPASS was perfect. We went to the California Academy of Sciences, SF Museum of Art, Walt Disney House tour, and Blue and Gold San Francisco Bay Cruise!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 8/10 would recommend Everything was good except the zoo probably over half the zoo is closed for remodeling. We would not have went if I knew that. It should be noted before others waste time and money goin maybe take it off the options till they have everything back in order. I honestly felt like we got cheated. The blue and gold fleet is a nice break off your feet. the academy of science was pretty cool definitely worth it even for adults with no kids plenty to explore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Totally Worth It: CityPASS San Francisco Delivers CityPASS San Francisco was absolutely worth every penny. One highlight was the scenic bay cruise — while it doesn’t stop at Alcatraz, it sails around the island and also takes you right under the Golden Gate Bridge. The views were breathtaking, and the ride itself felt like a bonus attraction. The Blue & Gold Fleet ferry was clean, professional, and full of happy families enjoying the experience together. The Aquarium of the Bay may be small, but it’s packed with charm. The staff and volunteers clearly love what they do and were some of the most welcoming and knowledgeable people we met. Their enthusiasm made the visit feel warm, personal, and unexpectedly memorable. If you're on the fence, don't be — CityPASS is a fun, well-curated way to explore some of San Francisco’s best attractions.
