Seattle C3
Great Choice!
We are glad we got the C3 pass. Making the purchase and reserving the tickets for our picked attractions was easy. We had a great time!Fun way to experience Seattle!
I bought the CityPASS C3 which allowed us to choose 3 attractions to experience, which was perfect for us because we had a limited amount of time in Seattle, so I am appreciative that this pass was an option for us. We did the Aquarium, the Woodland Park Zoo and the Argosy Harbor cruise around the city. I liked that we didn’t have to fit everything in all in one day; we spread it out over 2 days.Worked perfectly for our group
We were a group of 3 couples in Seattle for a few days before our cruise to Alaska. We each picked one thing we wanted to see and City Pass covered them all. It was a good savings for us and was pretty easy to use even for us, we didn’t have a tech star among us!Best deal for a 3-day weekend!!
I bought C3 passes because I had friends from CA visiting for labor day weekend. The C3 pass was the perfect fit for our itinerary. We chose to visit the Seattle Aquarium, MoPop, and the Woodland Park Zoo. I definitely plan on getting this again and trying out the different attractions!Fast efficient effective way to see Seattle sites
Best value to see the top 3 tourist destinations! The pass saved us hundreds of dollars for the group of us.

Loved it!
We LOVED our CityPASS!!!!!! We loved the zoo and harbor tour the most! The zoo was one of the best we’d ever been to & the bears were amazing! The harbor tour was so relaxing and a much needed air conditioning break! We learned so much. We also did the space needle (know that even with a reservation there is at least an hour wait), the aquarium (very busy and wasn’t our fave), and the museum of pop culture! Highly recommend doing the CityPASS!!

Convenient and cost savings
2nd experience with City Pass . Love the convenience and help deciding what to see and the savings of course. I bought Chicago last year and Seattle this year. Love it.

Such a great time and deal
I purchased a CityPASS for my trip to Seattle last month. It was such a good deal compared to the cost breakdown of purchasing admission tickets separately. I like that it was flexible and you could choose locations off a long list. Most of the locations needed prior reservations made which you could do through the app itself. They also had great customer service when I needed to adjust a reservation. Instructions were also very clear. This will be something I look at for every trip in the future.

Great option
CityPASS is great option! Go for it. It kept us busy the entire weekend with so many options. It was very convenient and easy to use at each venue. Response is instant as you select your choice to visit and time and you get immediate response with tickets/QR codes. Hassle free!

Fantastic experience & great value
CityPASS was well worth the value I paid. We got to visit all the attractions on our list for a fraction of the price. I highly recommend purchasing a CityPASS.

Highly recommend - easy and good value
I am so glad I bought the CityPASS for my recent trip to Seattle. We enjoyed all the attractions that we chose and it was such good value.
We booked most of the attractions in advance as recommended. Booking online was easy and we were able to change the aquarium reservation easily. We particularly enjoyed the Argosy Harbour Cruise - the tour guide (Harrison) was fantastic. We loved Chihuly Gardens and Glass. This was the highlight of my trip yo Seattle.

Pretty good value for what you get to see
We bought the CityPASS for our two day trip to Seattle. The zoo was definitely not worth it and it was a shame because that’s what we thought was going to be the best. A lot of the animals we went to see weren’t there or they had the exhibit closed. There needs to be a way to update people on what’s open and what animals we can expect to see. The aquarium was amazing and the Space Needle had really awesome views.

Great trip to Seattle
This is the second time I've used CityPass. Would definitely recommend. Makes planning a trip easy, knowing the must have sites and top attractions and enables you to bypass long lines to buy tickets. Worth the time and effort to purchase.

See the Space Needle twice, Day and Night pass.
This was a handy ticket. Normally not for me, but this time it worked. I'm not normally in to aquerams as I am a diver. I see these things in the wild instead. But I wanted to see this one, So with that and the space needle you might as well get the ticket. I already had a boat tour with my hop on bus ticket so didn't do it again, but I would highly recommend the boat tours. I would defiantly do that over the science museum. Its ok for kids, but not much for adults. I thought the butterflies were nice to look at. I was short on time otherwise I would have gone back to the pier on day two and done another boat tour instead. The pop museum was amazing. Loads of props from old movies. Syfi section was my favorite .
Since I had the ticket I went to the glass museum. They had people blowing glass there as well. Lovely garden where you can get a drink. Even a restaurant inside. If I didn't have this ticket I wouldn't of paid the $30-$40 but am so glad I saw it, Was Amazing,
You can also see the space needle twice in the same day, The ticket you get lets you go in the day, but also come back in the evening, You don't need to do anything. The QR code works for both times. Handy so you can see it in the day and lit up at night.
