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
I used the Seattle CityPASS with some friends in town and it was great! The app makes it so easy to navigate attractions, get reservations, and have tickets/access information all in one place. Would definitely recommend again!

Good value
I thought the CityPASS was a great deal since I visited 5 sites over my visit. Easy to use and redeem, had no issues at any of the venues.

Worth It!
CityPASS is great, easy to use and worth the money! We had only a couple days in Seattle and wanted to make the most of the time to see as much as we could.

A lot cheaper to buy than individual for family
CityPASS was perfect for when traveling out of town! So much to do, hit the main attractions and was perfect for our family when we were in town for the weekend.

Ridiculouslycost-effective!
CityPASS was a great tool and BEYOND cost effective! The only confusing part was some bar scans to enter were through CityPASS, and some were through the attraction website. But workers at attractions gave good guidance for what they needed

Good value, easy to use
Very easy to use and to book/reschedule reservations via the app. Nice discount off of admission prices I would have paid otherwise.

Not worth it
I bought 5 passes for my family. Having to make reservations to see attractions is ridiculous. Then we were evacuated from the space needle having to walk down 91 flights of stairs after 15 minutes of being there only to be given a bottle of water. So really out of the 5 attractions I seen 2.

Cumbersome but Good Deal
Good value but process sucks. Had to enter barcodes to make reservations and that was cumbersome but worse, then didn’t get the reservation email required for entry. Fortunately the front desk at Chuhily was able to look it up and help us get in.
