Seattle CityPASS
Excellent Value and Selection
We highly recommend getting the Seattle CityPASS. We were really overwhelmed with all of the activities when we started planning our trip through Seattle; there is so much to do. It gave us a really well rounded tour of the highlights of Seattle.
The Way to Go
For your money's worth, the CityPASS Seattle is the best way to go. Not only did it include the best attractions in Seattle for the adults, it was perfect for the children, too.
We Rocked Seattle
Our family of four had great fun touring Seattle's best sites! Despite being locals, we don't often get the time to see all the fun family destinations that Seattle has to offer. These passes paid for themselves within the first two locations compared to regular entry fees.
CityPass Seattle
This was one of the coolest things we have ever purchased while traveling and I would recommend it to anyone! We saw all of Seattle, with two little kids, and we did it for half the price.
A no-brainer if you visit Space Needle and more...
Two trips to Space Needle alone is almost the price of the Seattle CityPASS. If you do anything nearby like Chihuly and MoPOP, you're already ahead.
Seattle CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 10418.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value! Great value and very well run program. Each participating vendor knew exactly how to handle City Pass guests without hesitation. Argosy Cruise was great, but they really need to put signage on their booth to go to Pier 55. If you're walking from the south all you see is a closed up booth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved it! I bought CityPASS for Seattle and it was so worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well worth it It was a great purchase. Everything is done easily on your mobile phone, and it so easy to use. We saved quite a few dollars by purchasing the CityPASS instead of individual attractions.. If you are going somewhere and want to see a lot, buy CityPASS. It is definitely worth it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best purchase ever! Recently traveled to Seattle and bought the City pass! Way to go! Got so see a lot for a cheaper price. Super easy to use and also very understandable. I needed to change my time for a location, got in contact very easily and fixed it super fast! Will purchase again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely amazing! Visiting Seattle for the first time with my mother and sister was such a meaningful experience, and the Seattle CityPASS helped make it truly memorable. It gave us the opportunity to explore the city’s highlights in a simple and convenient way, allowing us to enjoy our time together without stress. We were able to see so much and create memories we’ll always cherish.
