Seattle CityPASS
Excellent Value and Selection
We highly recommend getting the Seattle CityPASS. We were really overwhelmed with all of the activities when we started planning our trip through Seattle; there is so much to do. It gave us a really well rounded tour of the highlights of Seattle.
The Way to Go
For your money's worth, the CityPASS Seattle is the best way to go. Not only did it include the best attractions in Seattle for the adults, it was perfect for the children, too.
We Rocked Seattle
Our family of four had great fun touring Seattle's best sites! Despite being locals, we don't often get the time to see all the fun family destinations that Seattle has to offer. These passes paid for themselves within the first two locations compared to regular entry fees.
CityPass Seattle
This was one of the coolest things we have ever purchased while traveling and I would recommend it to anyone! We saw all of Seattle, with two little kids, and we did it for half the price.
A no-brainer if you visit Space Needle and more...
Two trips to Space Needle alone is almost the price of the Seattle CityPASS. If you do anything nearby like Chihuly and MoPOP, you're already ahead.
Seattle CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 10480.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing time! So glad we got to pick 3 of the 5 Great choices. We went to zoo, aquarium, harbor tour, chihuly gardens and space needle!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Choice in Travel My experience with CityPASS was wonderful! I flew my father to Seattle to celebrate our very first Father's Day together, and CityPASS made it possible for me to treat him to Seattle's top attractions without breaking the bank. Even though I live here, I had never visited Chihuly Garden and Glass. We were both speechless at the beauty of the artwork. We also enjoyed lunch at the café, which was delicious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We had an amazing time at the Space Needle. While my dad enjoyed a drink, I savored some of our famous Rainier cherries as we took in the breathtaking views of the city and surrounding mountains. Our Argosy Harbor Cruise was relaxing, fun, educational, and very family-friendly. I also appreciated that they offer ADA accessibility, making the experience welcoming for everyone. Visiting the Seattle Aquarium was especially memorable because my dad had never been to an aquarium before. Watching the giant Pacific octopus being fed was definitely a highlight! Purchasing CityPASS ended up being one of the best decisions of our trip. For five straight days, we always had something exciting to do, and we created memories we'll both treasure for years to come. I highly recommend CityPASS to anyone visiting Seattle—it offers incredible value and lets you experience so much of what makes the city special.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Neither great nor terrible Bought the pass for Seattle and it was very handy for three venues on the old Worlds Fair site. Noted that the passes are very difficult to manage if the group is splitting up or attending at different times. Also was complicated to juggle the passes at the gates for entry. Did I save money? I dunno, we skipped some of the options so it might have been easier and even money to go a la carte. Also, was a bummer for the Seattle Art Museum to not be included in the pass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome CityPASS was a great money-saver. We enjoyed all five of the attractions - Space Needle and Aquarium + Museum of Pop Culture, one hour boat tour and Chihuly museum.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No hassle, user friendly and great experiences I like that the pass already includes the space needle and aquarium. Scheduling the additional events was easy and had no issues at each venue using the CityPASS. The city is well aware of this pass and have specific lines for holders. Our first time in Seattle and this pass allowed us to see a lot of great attractions Seattle has to offer.
