CityPass® invented itself in San Francisco ten years ago, and since then has been the reigning champ for North America’s big city vacations. The CityPass concept is simple: A sleek easy-to-purchase ticket booklet containing admission to the most-visited attractions and sightseeing at up to 50% savings -- with information, tips and maps -- that speeds a visitor past most entrance lines and straight to the exhibits, views and thrill rides that make the trip.

CityPass continues to distinguish itself as the entrée to the continent’s bold-face names and icons, with city-by-city combinations that number 63 museums, harbor cruises, aquariums, theme parks, entertainment, historical locations, sky-high observation decks, cable cars, trolleys, buses, trains, and sightseeing plus other signature values. The ticket booklet fits in a pocket, each includes five or six major attractions, is designed for the limited elbow room of a single visit, yet, typically, packs a nine-day vacation wallop. It can be purchased online at www.citypass.com, or at any participating attraction in each city. More than 14 million CityPass tickets have been redeemed at museums and attractions since the launch of CityPass in 1997. Customer satisfaction surveys indicate that 99% of CityPass users would recommend them to friends.

Visitors to ten destinations – New York, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Hollywood, and Southern California – enjoy the ease, value and CityPass genius for cutting through the clutter and going right to the heart of what, in each city, makes the most memorable group of experiences.

CityPass also has a devotion to evaluating what truly is the best line-up in each city, and how the ticket booklets can be improved to better serve visitors, while remaining a well-proportioned value. San Francisco CityPass, for example, added the Aquarium of the Bay, Asian Art Museum and welcomed San Francisco legends See’s chocolate and Boudin sourdough bonus coupons. Toronto CityPass gained the Hockey Hall of Fame. Option tickets introduced visitors to a choice of attractions according to their interests.
