San Diego CityPASS
Easy to Use
Took my kids to San Diego and got the City pass. Super easy to use the tickets on the phone. They scan them and you're in to the park; no trying to keep up with the tickets anymore. The CityPASS will save you money and time. I'll use it again when I go back next time.Absolutely no regrets..!!!!
This is a great deal and was our 2nd CityPass experience. Highly recommended. Of course, we crunched all the numbers to make sure it was. Tickets on the app, worked every time, at everyplace we visited. Do it..!!!Best family vacation we've ever had!
We bought a city pass for our recent trip to San Diego and it was the best decision. We bought the Legoland plus 3 and we used it fully. We chose the Zoo, Aquarium and the Midway Museum. The pass was so easy to use and we had no issues anywhere. We were able to enjoy so many attractions and we saved a lot compared to the regular prices and we were able to buy the city pass in our home currency which was also really nice. Will definitely buy a city pass again in the future.Loved sunny California!
The citypass was a great deal and very easy to use. This is the second time I have used it and I would do it again. Thank you for making things so easy!CityPASS was great!
We bought CityPASS on our recent trip to San Diego and it was great. We saved enough money to do something extra special while we were there that made the trip unforgettable. The tickets we received from CityPASS worked seamlessly at all the attractions. Super easy and convenient.

Would be great without Sea World
I have always found CityPASS to be a good bargain when exploring big cities and doing all the touristy things. This was no exception. Using the pass is easy, even for the one thing that required a reservation. I would recommend NOT doing Sea World only because it is the most boring activity on the passes. I wish you could choose to do both zoo parks instead. We don’t enjoy rides and don’t care about Legos.

Great views, terrible narration, at first
I always do CityPass when we go on big trips. I love to take my family on harbor cruises. The first guy who was narrating today, however, was not good. We could barely hear or understand him. When the second guy took over, the captain, I believe, it got much better. I feel like we missed the whole first part of the tour as far as hearing about what we were seeing. That’s too bad. It’s a lot of money to pay to only hear half of the narration.

Great deals!
We love using the City Pass for our vacations, it’s convenient and a great price. The only change I’d make is that instead of each City Pass coming with a standard attraction and then you choose the other 3 or 4 attractions that you visit, I’ll love if you’d get to choose every attraction from the list, because on our recent trip we did not plan on visiting the standard attraction that came with the pass. We’d rather have had a chance to choose an additional attraction from the list.

Super Easy!
I bought CityPASS tickets for our 3 day trip to San Diego. I downloaded the app and they were super easy to pull up to scan when I arrived at the park. It even let me know which park I had to reserve ahead of time. I saved about $100 per person buying the CityPASS versus buying individual tickets.

Mission: San Diego – CityPASSible!
We’re a family of 3 with a 4-year-old and used the San Diego CityPASS during our long weekend trip (Thursday night to Monday morning), and it was 100% worth it. We visited LEGOLAND, the San Diego Zoo, the USS Midway Museum, and took a City Cruise all with ease.
The process was super simple, and the pass made it easy to plan our days without overthinking. Best of all, the cost savings were real, especially when visiting multiple attractions. Highly recommend for families looking for convenience, value, and a stress-free experience in San Diego!

Love this City!
CityPASS was incredibly user friendly, and offered the coolest attractions of San Diego! I could have spent all three tickets on the USS MIDWAY the history and vastness of that ship was unbelievable! We also used the Safari Park pass, we happened to go on an abnormally hot day so it was quiet at the park and the animals were somewhat aloof but we still had fun!! The City Boat tour was also wonderful and we picked a gorgeous day to go! We just moved to San Diego, so it was really nice to be able to see the popular attractions!

Simplified Vacation
Great value, the only unfortunate thing is that the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Safari Park can’t be both used.

it's worth it
I bought the CityPASS San Diego for our trip and so glad we did. It's easy to use and reservations for Legoland is a breeze. I bought CityPASS for New York before and it made it easier to plan the trip and more fun.
