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.

Awesome trip!
I bought a CityPass ticket for 5 Seattle attractions! I saved so much money. The attractions were great! Twice I called CityPass. First to switch a day for Harbor tour (rain predicted). Second, to move a time. They were so accommodating. It was done in seconds! I would definitely buy another CityPass for future trips. My daughter and I take an annual trip every year. I wish I knew about CityPass sooner. I highly recommend!

Check availability before purchase
Make sure you check the availability for the space needle BEFORE you purchase the tickets. It won’t let you check on city pass but it should through the space needles website

Not worth it
It was not worth it for me because I only went to two places, I wish I would get a refund.

Not enough time
I feel like for the amount that I purchased, I should’ve been given a longer amount of time to actually use the pass. Especially for those who live in the area and would still like to do some of the tourist attractions. Would not recommend for this reason.

Seniors beware!
I bought 6 CityPASS 5 for my entire family for our trip to Seattle. In certain locations his turned out to be a nightmare. I admit I am a senior with limited tech experience but staff were not always helpful. At the zoo, it took us 25 minutes plus the help of a manager to get us in! At the aquarium the employee was trying to help but it took her over 10 minutes to find the pass information. I would say that if you are not a tech expert do not get this pass because there is not much training to employees.

Must have app for trips long or short!
My buddy and I went to Seattle a few weeks ago, just for fun because we had never been before. We didn't really plan anything, other than having a few landmarks in mind to see. CityPASS changed our entire trip and made all the difference. With one 5-10 visit to the app/website, we had our whole trip/events planned, paid for, and organized. I will never "wing it" again when visiting a city where CityPASS is available! Thank you CityPASS!

Brilliant
Bought them in advance of my trip tk Seattle and made the reservations in advance for the activities that I could.
Very flexible as I was able to change the time on some of them at the place too. Brilliant value for money
