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 10369.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unforgetable trip. I bought CityPass (C5) and visited all the 5 scenes, it's an excellent trip. Just have one suggestion:There's a bonus for CityPASS, we can visit the Space Needle twice, normally one time in day and one time in night. However the two visiting must be done with 24 hours. We have to give up night visiting due to bad weather. If there's no such limitation, we will have chance to vist Space Needle in following days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good deal CityPASS was a great find. It allowed us to explore the city for a great price! I hope the company will be able to get more cities on the list- it’ll be so cool for a city like New Orleans or Bar Harbor to be involved in City Pass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best way to see Seattle! I am so happy that we found the CityPass option when planning our recent trip to Seattle. We saved a TON of money of the top attractions in Seattle and the process was a breeze to use. We made reservations for most attractions, scanned the barcode when we arrived to the attractions and off we went! It was so easy to plan everything in the app. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Seattle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and convenient Bought the CityPASS for Seattle, had no issues the entire trip. Easy to make “advanced reservations”. Had no issues at any of the attractions

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very nice, but a little confusing While I think that CityPASS is worth the money for sure. We didn't really like having to make reservations for everything. It made it kind of hard to plan out our day as we didn't know how much time each thing would take and since we are from out of town, we didn't know where things were in relation to each other and how to get from one place to another which led us to actually miss one of the venues. I think if we didn't have to have reservations for most things, it would have been much less stressful and much easier for us to get everything done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such a great price for what you get!! Buying CityPASS tickets was such a great choice, since it was the first time we'd ever visited Seattle. Everything we chose was within walking distance to our hotel, and all were fantastic!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Deal for a family CityPASS was great. Five members of my family used it. It was easy for the most part. You have switch from app to email for a few venues. Overall it was a great value. It might be nice to have the option to revisit a venue a second time at a discount. We could not get enough of Chihuly we paid to visit a second time.
