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.

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!

Amazing deal and attractions!
My husband and I had never been to Seattle before and decided to get the CityPASS to get in as many attractions as we could. Omg! I’m so glad that we did! Not only was the cost totally worth it, but the seamless process of making reservations, getting our tickets, etc. was totally worth it. Highly recommended and we will do it again when we come back!

Seattle is lovely
The city pass was really good, but a faff when it came to codes being needed to get tickets.

Amazing Seattle CityPASS adventure
My visit to Seattle was awesome, thanks to CityPASS. I was only there for one day and I got to see and do so much in a short time.

AMAZING and Unforgetable Vacation!
I highly recommend using Seattle CityPASS. I took my 23-yr-old twins for a seven-day trip. CityPASS made it so easy. We got to see the Space Needle in the daylight and again that night - which was sooooo cool! We went to the Chihuly Garden and Glass (INCREDIBLE), both buildings of the Seattle Aquarium, the Museum of Pop Culture, and we finished with a sunset Argosy Cruise Harbor Tour. (Fantastic narrated tour of the history of the harbor.) Using the CityPASS app couldn't have been easier. I saved money over paying for each attraction separately, and we didn't have to stand in long lines to buy tickets. Wonderful!
