Seattle C3
Great Choice!
We are glad we got the C3 pass. Making the purchase and reserving the tickets for our picked attractions was easy. We had a great time!
Fun way to experience Seattle!
I bought the CityPASS C3 which allowed us to choose 3 attractions to experience, which was perfect for us because we had a limited amount of time in Seattle, so I am appreciative that this pass was an option for us. We did the Aquarium, the Woodland Park Zoo and the Argosy Harbor cruise around the city. I liked that we didn’t have to fit everything in all in one day; we spread it out over 2 days.
Worked perfectly for our group
We were a group of 3 couples in Seattle for a few days before our cruise to Alaska. We each picked one thing we wanted to see and City Pass covered them all. It was a good savings for us and was pretty easy to use even for us, we didn’t have a tech star among us!
Best deal for a 3-day weekend!!
I bought C3 passes because I had friends from CA visiting for labor day weekend. The C3 pass was the perfect fit for our itinerary. We chose to visit the Seattle Aquarium, MoPop, and the Woodland Park Zoo. I definitely plan on getting this again and trying out the different attractions!
Fast efficient effective way to see Seattle sites
Best value to see the top 3 tourist destinations! The pass saved us hundreds of dollars for the group of us.
Seattle CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 4094.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't miss out on the CityPass! I am an avid traveler and buying this CityPass was possibly one of the best purchases I have made. The CityPass included all of the major recommended sites when visiting Seattle. It took the stress out of planning each trip separately and buying individual passes for the attractions. In addition, I purchased the pass earlier this month and fully took advantage of the cheaper rates. There were no problems in redeeming each pass. Every time we presented the passes, the hosts at every site knew we were from out of town and were very welcoming,(suggesting interesting places to visit, eat, or grab a drink). Absolutely worth it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AMAZING experience! We bought two City Passes and used it all in two days. It was so much fun visiting all the attractions and very nice having them around each other. My favorite was MoPop's Nirvana exhibit, the butterlies at the Science Center and the ferry ride. Seattle was such a fun experience thanks to this City Pass and our prior research of the city. We didn't use the Space Needle ticket because we had already made reservations for Sky City restaurant which included the Space Needle pass. The City Pass was still worth every penny. I recommend this to everyone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seattle City Pass My Aunt, Uncle, husband and myself planned a trip to Seattle. We were all so excited to see the wonderful city and the city pass came in so handy, as the attractions we wanted to see, were all in this booklet. We even used the coupons for the attractions to buy keepsakes of our trip. This was a bonus! I was also glad there was a map of the locations in the booklet, this helped out so much. The first day we spent to long at Pikes Market and the Aquarium, which I would say is a must see!! We all enjoyed these to stops! We were not aware that there was a monorail the first day, so we planned to come back the next day to see the Space Needle and other attractions. I wish there was something mentioned in the city pass on the monorail. We did take the monorail for a low cost after the attractions at the Seattle Center to go to the Argosy Cruises which was one of my favorite stops on our trip. I thought we would of had to skip this attraction, but finding the monorail made it possible. Since the parking was almost obsolete down by the market. I'm so glad we took the cruise. I think another highlight was 2 trips to the top of the Space Needle. I only wish there was a coupon for the meal, I would of paid more for the booklet for a discounted meal. All in all us 4 had a lovely time and plan on coming back soon to see your lovely state, as we did not get to see the beautiful mountains.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ticket to the Main Attractions The Seattle City Pass is a great and affordable way to see the main attractions of Seattle. Two friends and myself toured Seattle with the City Pass as our guide. My favorite part was the Chihuly Garden and Glass Exhibition. It was absolutely breath taking. I highly recommend the pass!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great value however Space Needle redemption was frustrating All the attractions were great when it came to redeeming the tickets. First, the Space Needle did not have a separate line for CityPass voucher holders. Second, I waited in a line that one of the Space Needle employees told me to go to. I then waited for an hour and finally was next in line told that I was in the wrong line. They made me wait another hour. Very inconvenient! All the other attractions were excellent in terms of redemption of voucher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome time!! I loved the City Pass! It was the only way we were able to see everything on our trip. It let us see more than what we could have planned for. It was much cheaper than purchasing all of the attractions separately.
