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 10421.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Local review Over all price and attraction selection was great. But having 9 days to use was a little short, for us it was two weekends. I’m sure cramming it into one weekends is suggested but not always feasible. It probably catered towards tourists and not locals.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from CITYPASS ALL THE WAY CITYPASS was very easy to use and a great savings. However, just keep in mind if you need to change or modify it HAS to be done via the app., and not the venue. I would definitely choose for other destinations in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it for a great trip! We got the CityPASS for our kid's Christmas gift this year and used them recently on a long weekend off school. It was a great way to see the city, experience some things we may have skipped, and save some money. At a few spots, we were about to cut the line since we already had our tickets. Definitely recommend! We enjoyed the Woodland Zoo, the Space Needle the aquarium, MoPOP, and the Pacific Science Center.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value! Great value and very well run program. Each participating vendor knew exactly how to handle City Pass guests without hesitation. Argosy Cruise was great, but they really need to put signage on their booth to go to Pier 55. If you're walking from the south all you see is a closed up booth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved it! I bought CityPASS for Seattle and it was so worth it.
