Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable. CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.

Good Experience with CityPASS Chicago!
Using CityPASS Chicago made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. The app was very user-friendly and worked without any issues. One great feature is that it notifies you when you’re close to an attraction, which helped us stay on track and make the most of our time. Almost everything was easy to access, and the whole process felt smooth and well-organized. Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Chicago!

A Bargain and a Time Saver
Both my friend and I bought a CityPASS for Chicago. It was a great way to visit the city and included all the top things to see in the loop area where we were staying. We used all 5 passes. On other travels I’ve seen similar passes but not for the “A list” sights. If visiting another city, I’d look for a CityPASS to buy. This was a bargain and a time saver.

A wonderful and memorable vacation
Our experience in Chicago was amazing! Using CityPass allowed us to plan ahead and know what we would be doing for our whole trip! Using the reservation option is great and you get right in to the attractions when you get there. Little to no wait times. Several of the options gets you extras at the attraction. If you're going to the 360 Chicago or Skydeck plan that on a day that isn't cloudy. Other than that, everything was amazing!!

We loved Chicago!
We bought CityPASS tickets when visiting Chicago for our son’s senior trip. It was so easy to reserve when we needed to and pull up our tickets for all the attractions. We had a blast in Chicago and this just made his senior trip a true success!!!

Best way to see the Chicago attractions!
We had a group of 6 visiting Chicago over memorial day weekend and the CityPass was a great way to see all of the museums and attractions on our schedule. The app was easy to use to make reservations and even though we did have to change our reservation to accommodate some unexpected delays it was so easy to change our reservations.

What a great way for a family to visit cities
I'm so happy that I was told about the CityPASS. It was easy to pick the exhibits/attractions, easy to reserve, and easy to use. We got to see so much using this past at a cost we could afford. My family had a great vacation, and this pass made it easier for me to plan.
