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.

Amazingly beautiful
I bought a city pass the five day one for my grandson and I it was absolutely amazing and such an awesome deal. My only suggestion would be that you not make the space needle mandatory only because many people have fear of heights. My grandson being one of them, however he was able to overcome his fear and we haven’t a great experience on the space needle.

Seatlle sightseeing
Seattle CityPass for 5 venues was great. We did have to make reservations for 4 out of the 5 places. If you are booking a reservation on a weekend, please be prepared for the crowds. We did some places on a weekend and others during the week. For example, we reserved the time for Saturday at 12:30pm for the Space Needle. We joined the line at 12:30. We did not get on the elevator for the Space Needle until 45 minutes later. Buying a CityPass is a great deal though. We will definitely use CityPass on our next vacation.

Good Until It Isn't
Chicago City pass worked perfectly. In Seattle, I had to call the general number to enable changing an app reservation I had created. When I did, I was told the reason I had to call (not obvious or notified) was because I had booked a lazer show which did not allow to be done online. Who knew! Told to receive an email when changed. When email received, it canceled ALL reservations--not just the Pacific Science Center. I gave up and just went without future contact--too difficult.

Sight seeing the easy way
I downloaded my CityPASS after seeing a notification for it outside one of the major attractions in Seattle. So glad I did. Using the app was fairly straightforward. We saved approximately 50% on admission fees :) There was no waiting time to gain admission to the attractions. I would highly recommended CityPASS and would certainly use it again.

Absolutely awesome!!
I bought CityPASS tickets at the recommendation of the associate at the Space Needle center and I was so happy that I did. We were able to see other attractions throughout the city and book the times we wanted right on the app.

Good Value to see the sights!
We enjoyed the many sights! The aquarium and boat cruise were our favorites on top of course the Space Needle! The Pacific Science Center was good, but felt like the target audience was older elementary students!

The way to go in Seattle!
The Seattle CityPass worked out wonderfully for my family of 4. We were able to do the space needle, aquarium, harbor cruise, Chihuly museum and science center (some of our group did MOPOP instead of science center).
All the activities were great and the CityPass app made it all easy to get booked and get into each place.

Totally incredible
I bought CityPASS and totally enjoyed it, it was easier to have the tickets already for 5 of the most attractive attractions, you just need to book for the days you are visiting and you don't waste time getting physical tickets.
