Some activities within the venues aren’t included so be prepared to pay a little extra. The pass helps save if you have time to visit at least 4 different locations

your tickets vanish without a use

Dan_B, Mar 2025
your tickets run out after a day, I do not recommend this service. I bought these tickets yesterday to use today and when I went to check they said used already??? I didint even touch them??? And I spent over 200$ on these tickets.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hello, Houston CityPASS tickets are valid for 9 days. I'm very sorry about this problem; please contact our Customer Care team so that they can help assure you get your full 9 days of validity. You can find them at support.citypass.com.

Lines too long and...

Barbara_N, Mar 2025
Lines too long and attractions are distant from one another. Have you pay extra fee to see sharks at aquarium when it should be included with the city passes.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience using CityPASS tickets. During the spring break timeframe, attractions can be busier than usual, resulting in lines.

It was great but to make...

Brian_I, Feb 2025
It was great but to make sure to check the times for some of the attractions ahead of time. We were not able to do everything we wanted to.

Happy Sad

Tanya_A, Dec 2024
The hours for each venue. The rain put a damper on our experience. The food at the Aquarium was excellent!!!

Did not work at all

Jeremy_V, Nov 2024
I am waiting for my refund. This was never issued right and didn't work causing me to order another one through city pass itself. At first customer service was no help hopefully get my refund for 5 people.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We're sorry this happened. It sounds like you are working with Viator on your refund, which is the correct route to take if your tickets were never used. If you run into a roadblock, you might consider contacting CityPASS. Our team wouldn't issue the refund, as that will come from Viator, but may be able to reach out on your behalf.

Worth it.

Morgan_N, Sep 2024
Worth the investment. Good value for seeing attractions. Easy to sign up. Customer service was helpful too.

Easy option if you don't know where to start!

Alex_L, Jun 2024
We are overseas visitors and didn't have a lot of time. The pass made it easy for us to see some great highlights and having the tickets in advance saved us time! Excellent package!

Good Ticket Deal

Sheri_L, Apr 2024
Easy, convenient and works offline so you don’t even have to worry even if there’s no wifi to connect to 😊

City Pass is the best way to visit Houston.

moproiu, Apr 2024
Short visit in Houston. In two days, we were able to visit 4 museums. We would've liked to visit the National Museum of Art also, but we were unable to find parking. The most we liked was the Museum of Science which we visited t days in a row. Chase, our min-pin Chiwawa service pop, fell in love with the zebras in the Zoo.

Fast and easy savings

Monica_A, Mar 2024
It is very easy and we save money with this pass, got to visit several attractions and had a great time with the family

Houston city pass

Erica_C, Mar 2024
We really enjoyed our Houston trip and the city pass made it very affordable! We are able to visit 5 places for the price of 2.

Wonderful!!

Erick_P, Jan 2024
We really liked and enjoyed the Houston zoo, Aquarium we were all disappointed with, very small not much to see and parking lot was the most expensive of all the places we visited, the Houston space center was another place we were excited about and loved it,and last of the places we visited was the Kemah boardwalk nice place and very fun for all the family, city pass was very worth buying, thanks my family had a lot of fun!

Best deal in town

jeff_k, Nov 2023
Zoo, and both museums were great 3 day adventures. Stay at hotel zaza for convience and comfort and food

The zoo didn't have any...

William_B, Nov 2023
The zoo didn't have any animals out and there was no employees working. The aquarium was a real disappointment. The amount of aquatic life was minimal at best. The space center was actually interesting.

Seeing the dinasours at...

Malena_S, Oct 2023
Seeing the dinasours at the museum of natural science and the Zoltan machine really brought memories to life

Very Nice Experience

Bianca_P, Oct 2023
It was wonderful to go to these places, if you have straight days to enjoy the city pass it's a very nice choice.

Alright

Tarra_W, Sep 2023
Good for admissions but nothing else is included. No food or drinks included, even though it stated food and drinks included. The ferris wheel ride was closed most of the day. Downtown Aquarium

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We're sorry for any misunderstanding. Food and drink is not included at any CityPASS attractions.

Not what we paid for.

Olya_E, Sep 2023
The city pass is supposed to be good for several days. My wife and daughter bought and used two of the entries yesterday. Today, the passes are showing as expired even though it is advertised that they have several days to use all the entries. Horrible experience! No one answered the customer service line when they called to get it straightened out. Lousy deal. Will not use again.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We're very sorry about this. CityPASS is valid for 9 days starting with and include the first day of use (or the first uncanceled reservation) and should not show as expired until those nine days are complete. I'm sure our customer care team could help you with this; their contact info is at support.citypass.com. If all of our customer care agents are helping other customers, you can leave a message and someone will call you back, or you can also live chat if you prefer.

Good value

Summer_I, Aug 2023
Good value for what you get...but a small heads up...skip the aquarium. It is lame and literally took us about 30 minutes to go through the whole thing. I'd have been real upset had I paid full price for it.

We have great time,...

Mayra_J, Aug 2023
We have great time, except for some issues with the hotel security. Someone broken our truck early in the morning so we had to return to our house early because we can close properly the truck bad experience

Love the city pass, but improve the app

Alla_R, Aug 2023
I love all the things the city pass offers. But I bought it yesterday and used it at NASA and today I cannot find the tickets anymore, the app doesn't have my tickets anymore. glad I saved them yesterday. But I feel like they should be available until expiration.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your feedback. You are correct--your tickets should remain accessible in the app, and we're very sorry for whatever issue caused them to not be there. Hopefully you were able to add them back or get help from our Customer Care team and enjoyed the rest of your visit to Houston.

We had an Awesome time and will recommend it to anyone

maria_c, Jul 2023
It was my first time purchasing the CityPass. It was the best idea ever, we had so much fun. I’m looking forward to purchase the pass again soon

Great Deal

Peter_H, Jul 2023
Very good deal. Took my oldest son and we were able to see quite a few things in a short amount of time

Houston space center and kemah boardwalk was awesome

Ashley_W, Jul 2023
It was worth the money spent and my kids had a blast. Wish we would've been in Houston longer so we could've done more stuff but it was well worth it for the limited time we were in town

Mayank’s Houston tour

Mayank_G, Jul 2023
Very smooth and trouble free experience with having the city pass. Would surely recommend this pass to all those who are looking to visit Houston famous tourist spots with family and friends.

Worth the money and max for your buck

Seyed_M, Jul 2023
It was the best decision we have made before coming to Houston. It is worth it compared to buying tickets individually. Our best visits were Houston space center ( need full day to enjoy evey bitbof it) and museum of nature and science. We did the aquarium one but nothing special. The kemah visit was not bad, there was not that much rides but it is okay for couple hours but nothing special as well. I highly recommend the pass if you ever decide to come and visit Houston.

Money well spent - good decision

Crystal_H, Jun 2023
We went to the Children's Museum, Houston Space Center, Houston Zoo, Houston Aquarium - getting into each place was easy with CityPass (we only chose to "upgrade" at the zoo). CityPass definitely did as it advertised and all 5 of us were able to get into each attraction without issue. Definitely worth the money spent (or we'd have spent MUCH MORE purchasing tickets at each attraction separately).

Awesome

Willie_M, Jun 2023
This was a great deal I was able to see all of the great things in Houston the zoo the aquarium the space center

Wonderful experiences

Sarah_M, May 2023
Absolutely worth it, so affordable and you are able to see so much. Houston is beautiful with plenty to see, museum was a little on the busy side but for the most part we weren't fighting any crowds this weekend!
