San Antonio CityPASS
Great Value
I purchased a CityPASS for my family and loved all the places we visited. My kids had a blast and it saved us a ton of money!
Super Convenient
We had so much fun and all attractions are close to each other. We are definitely using CityPASS again. Saved a lot using them. Thanks CityPASS.
Very fun assortment for San Antonio
Bought the CityPASS for the two of us. Easy to purchase. No questions anywhere we went to use the pass. Perfect and saved money too.
Amazing Deal
If you plan on going to San Antonio and want to experience the best it has to offer, I highly recommend purchasing the CityPASS. It will save you a few bucks along the way, and we were able to access it straight from our phones, so that made it even better.
Great Money Saver
We were on our honeymoon and on a tight budget. With CityPASS, we were able to see more of the sights without spending a lot of money. Thanks.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Buy if you have at least three days in San Antonio Since we only had two days in San Antonio to use the CityPASS, it didn't end up saving us any money. We only had time to use three of the four passes. It would have been a good deal if we could have squeezed in one more activity.
