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 10454.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Buy This Pass! I bought 4 CityPASS's for our visit to Seattle prior to a cruise to Alaska. I'm so glad I did! It saved us money and helped us decide which attractions to go to while we were there, keeping us on a time-table so we could see a lot in the few days we had. Our group chose a 5 attraction CityPASS and we took the Arogsy Cruises Harbor Tour which was lovely and provided a great photo opportunity of the city, then we walked around Pike Place Market and got lunch, and ended the day with a trip to the newly renovated Seattle Aquarium. Our 2nd day we used the pass to visit The Space Needle, then had some lunch inside the Armory building, then onto the Chihuly Garden and Glass (absolutely beautiful!!), then our last stop of the day was to the Museum of Pop Culture (MOPOP). All three of these attractions are within walking distance of each other. The first 4 attractions require a reservation, so don't forget to make one. The MOPOP did not. Wonderful days and truly exhausting for us (we're in our mid to late 60's), but totally worth it!! Definitely recommend the CityPASS!
