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.

Well worth visiting the attractions included
Buying the CityPass made it so easy to check in at each attraction. The savings was also helpful instead of buying individual tickets for each place.

Great price for the big tourist stops
We had several days planned in Seattle so we were advised to use the CityPASS for our admissions to several activities we were discussing. Really glad we did! The selection of the 3 additional activities was easy to use and we quickly set up the reservations for them. When we arrived at the locations, entry was quick and easy without waiting in line to purchase tickets. We were on the first elevator to the Space Needle while a line was waiting for ticketing!
Price is great, you can look for discounted tickets but this does it all at one place.
If you have 2-3 days, this is the way to ticket.

Seattle
It worked out for us. Had difficulty finding the stops to get back on and was quite sure if the reservation was really needed as every place didn’t care about a reservation.
And Yes we would use it again

Unforgetable trip.
I bought CityPass (C5) and visited all the 5 scenes, it's an excellent trip.
Just have one suggestion：There's a bonus for CityPASS, we can visit the Space Needle twice, normally one time in day and one time in night. However the two visiting must be done with 24 hours. We have to give up night visiting due to bad weather. If there's no such limitation, we will have chance to vist Space Needle in following days.

Good deal
CityPASS was a great find. It allowed us to explore the city for a great price! I hope the company will be able to get more cities on the list- it’ll be so cool for a city like New Orleans or Bar Harbor to be involved in City Pass.

Best way to see Seattle!
I am so happy that we found the CityPass option when planning our recent trip to Seattle. We saved a TON of money of the top attractions in Seattle and the process was a breeze to use. We made reservations for most attractions, scanned the barcode when we arrived to the attractions and off we went! It was so easy to plan everything in the app. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Seattle.

Easy and convenient
Bought the CityPASS for Seattle, had no issues the entire trip. Easy to make “advanced reservations”. Had no issues at any of the attractions

Very nice, but a little confusing
While I think that CityPASS is worth the money for sure. We didn't really like having to make reservations for everything. It made it kind of hard to plan out our day as we didn't know how much time each thing would take and since we are from out of town, we didn't know where things were in relation to each other and how to get from one place to another which led us to actually miss one of the venues. I think if we didn't have to have reservations for most things, it would have been much less stressful and much easier for us to get everything done.
