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.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 13951.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good! CityPASS is a good tool to visit new places. Buying the ticket and managing it is easy. The difficulties sometimes are in the attractions. For example in Skydeck the organization of the entrance and exit is very bad and the attraction is enjoyed in a hurry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chiacago Subway and Buses made our life easy. Visited Chicago for the first time and the subway and bus system made our visit so easy and we were able to see so much by using CityPASS. Chicago is lucky to have the public transportation that they have, the subway is old but it is efficient and convenient and safe. Well done Chicago!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great My family and I each got CityPASSes when we went to Chicago this summer and it was great. My favorite thing was that we could peel off and do our own things if we wanted. Great times all around.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Experience & Value Had I not purchased the CityPASS Chicago I’d have never even thought of going where we did. We had a great many adventures at the exhibits CityPASS had to offer. You get your monies worth in just two attractions. The ease of scheduling and changing schedules was easy. I loved how CityPASS offered current updates of closures, if any. HIGHLY recommend the CityPASS update o anyone wanting to explore new cities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent value for money The value of the tickets is amazing. I bought the CITY PASS C5 and only paying 113 dollars was so worth it. Loved the sites.
