Boston CityPASS
Fun to be had in Boston with the CityPASS
The CityPASS made site seeing so simple. We loved not having to wait in long lines for tickets and the locations on the CityPASS were kid approved. The passes were well worth the investment!
Worth the Savings
The CityPASS for Boston was well worth it. We saved a significant amount of money visiting the museums and taking the cruise tour. Had a memorable time and it was worth it!
Boston CityPASS experience
Tasked by my wife to plan a 3-day weekend in Boston, CityPASS was the perfect choice to save us money and see the sights.
Totally worth it!
I bought a CityPASS for our trip to Boston and it was perfect. We went to the Museum of Science (the best!), the Franklin Park Zoo and the New England Aquarium. It was easy to schedule the visits and the passes were right on our phones. Also the price was just right. There were 4 of us, so technically one of the visits was free. Highly recommend Buying the passes.
What a Bargain!
I spent three days in Boston in mid-December with my girlfriend and thankfully, she got us onto a CityPASS. I had no idea they even existed and in hindsight we saved ourselves the equivalent of a whole night's accommodation!
Boston CityPASS is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 1526.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Way to Explore a City at an Economical Price I purchased CityPASS tickets for my trip to Boston with my daughter and grandkids. Using them saved us a lot and we were able to see 95% of the attractions on our list - Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, Boston Harbor Tour and Franklin Park Zoo. I'll definitely be using them for future trips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great way to see the city! I am so happy I found CityPASS for the attractions we wanted to visit while we were in Boston for a couple of days. Our family of two adults and two teens absolutely enjoyed our visits to the aquarium, the science center, and we took a most amazing Boston harbor scenic historic cruise. The cruise had an amazing narrator who was personable, interesting, and very knowledgeable. We would have paid more in admission for just one of those attractions than we did for the whole amount of the CityPASS. It saved us alot of money and allowed us to see the attractions that most interested us. If we would have had another day in Boston, we would have gone to the Zoo, as well, but we just didn’t have enough time to be able to go. CityPASS is the way to go if the offered attractions are of interest to you. I highly recommend considering seeing the city with a CityPASS! You will not be disappointed.
