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 10425.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Efficient Made the process very easy to book multiple visits to the different venues through the one site. Good savings to go this route as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Seattle These passes were great and the only negative is that you have to make an appointment to enter. We were early on some and were not allowed to enter until our appointment time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Local review Over all price and attraction selection was great. But having 9 days to use was a little short, for us it was two weekends. I’m sure cramming it into one weekends is suggested but not always feasible. It probably catered towards tourists and not locals.
