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.

I have used City Pass each time I visit Seattle-a great bargain! I host out of state guests who have never seen the starred features, and this is a money-saving purchase which helps me learn more about a beautiful city and its attractions.

CityPASS well worth it!
CityPass was well worth it! Having never been to Seattle it made it so much easier to see the main attractions. The Space Needle was so cool. Headed up there 30 min before sunset & got the best of both the daytime view & night sky view. CityPASS is definitely the way to go.

Thank you for an unforgettable visit to Seattle!
Buying a CityPASS made our Seattle touristing nearly seamless. We got to see the Chihuly Garden, the Space Needle, the Aquarium and the Museum of Pop Culture, as well as take a sunset cruise around the harbor from Argosy Cruises. Ease of use and savings together made the thing pay for itself. More than worth the cost!
