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.
Seattle CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 10393.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great option for exploring great city places F you would like to visit all of those attractions then CityPASS is basically a no-brainer to be honest but if you are not double check Some of those attractions may not be just meh for you personally but you will be basically forced to spend time in some of those For example Seattle aquarium is forced and you cannot opt out but honestly you can safely skip it if you're visiting without kids as it is just the same as everywhere. Same thing with some other atrractions

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Already wanting to go back!!! CityPASS was a great deal for me and my fiancé’s first trip to Seattle! We were able to see and do everything we had researched beforehand and even did a couple if things that were included that we wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. It was a great time and great experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well Worth the Price! We really enjoyed using our CityPASS. It was easy making reservations with my phone. Of note, you have to make a reservation at least an hour in advance for the Argosy cruise. However, we went directly to their pier and were added right in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Money spent ! Myself and my wife, plus two grandchildren went on a three day tour of Seattle. CityPASS saved us hundreds on all the places we went. It was a busy three days, but the CityPASS was well worth the money. No waiting in long lines for tickets, walk right in, they scan your passport and away you go. Thank you CityyPASS
