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.

A golden ticket for the heart of Chicago
I am very happy I bought this tickwt. I was on a business trip, and had around 2 extra days to tour around. Buying this ticket not just saved me time and gave me convenience, but also helped me arrange my schedule in the limited time that I got to visit the best sites in Chicago. Unforgettable experience!

Time Saver
Great idea to purchase. Saved a little bit of money, but a lot of time. No wait in line for any activity, one app to provide all directions and information and kept us organized. Took advantage of everything and left nothing unused. Great option for folks new to the area and limited time to see all the sites!

Our amazing trip to Chicago
Used this for the first time on our trip to Chicago and it was so easy to use, definitely saved me time and money for my family of 5. Made lots of memories, taking in all the beauty Chicago has to offer. From the Aquarium, Field museum, to the riverboat tour to the amazing views in the Skydeck! Highly recommend.

CityPASS -100% recommended
I traveled with my 14 and 16 year old nephews and wanted to make sure they would enjoy seeing Chicago. CityPASS was the absolute best package! Making and changing reservations was so easy and the "extras" that admission included made it that much more valuable.

Money and time saver
We bought CityPass tickets for chicago. We stayed for 5 days and visited one attraction per day from the CityPass options. It was definitely a save of money. It also helped us planning the trip as we had a collection of where to go from the attractions mentioned in the app. There were also CityPass staff and signs near two of crowded attractions to guide pass holders.
