This was definitely worth the cost. We went to four sites and saved plenty of money by buying this pass.

Nice tour with good narration but tough to do all in a day. Best to start early at 9 and plan the stops to get off as also leave the longest for the end …
The pass was awesome. Easy to use. I wish it included something with parking as we had to pay $48.00 for 2 hours of parking to go into the Aquarium. Would definitely suggest buying if you are visiting several places.
Boston was an amazing place to visit. All the history and modern connected made it the perfect getaway. Buying the city pass made it a lot easier to get the agenda ready and program activities easily. The city has many places to visit by walking or tour, either way give a marvelous experience.
Allow lots of time for Harvard as there is a lot of walking between buildings. The bulk is in the natural history building but there are additional tiny displays of archeology, anthropology and technology on campus.
This trip was my first trip to Boston. We hit all of the high points and it really helps to not have to worry about expensive ticket prices. Savings on specific activities were used for meals and rideshare. Definitely a budget friendly option!
So easy to use. Bypass all the lines and get right in. The flexibility of what you can do allowed us to change plans from day to day.
It was great. The only thing is Google the distance between the outings. It was worth the money to buy the passes. We didnt have to wait in line.
Relatively simple to book the experience after downloading the City Pass App. All activities are family friendly.
Went to the science museum of Boston, Harvard Natural History Museum and View Boston. Book individually.
If you are planning to go to at least three of these venues, then this pass is worth the time. You can skip some lines but other locations may require you to acquire tickets at the venue. Overall, a good program!
DO NOT buy if travelling in winter! We used our CityPASS for entry to Franklin Zoo but so many enclosures were closed then when we left we actually could have gained entry free of charge as the gate (giraffe entrance) was open and unstaffed. We then tried to book a harbour cruise and they were also closed midweek. Waste of money unfortunately.
I enjoyed the riverfront and the Boston culture. The food was delicious and the views are breathtaking.
We did the Museum of Science, Boston Harbour Cruise, Franklin Park Museum, and the New England Aquarium (you get a half rice 3D film on the same day). The zoo wasn't anything special, the aquarium was small but pretty cool, the cruise was the best and the museum of science was more fun and engaging than we anticipated.
Got to explore a lot in a short amount of time without breaking the bank. I highly recommend this service
I have been sleeping on this in other cities. My wife's family was coming in from Germany and I wanted to organize the best New England sightseeing trip that I could. CityPass through AAA helped me to do that. I got the 5 day pass which included 2 days of the Hop on Hop Off City View Trolley in Boston, it had so many attractions but I will mention the ones that we were able to take advantage of: Boston Harbor Cruise, Paul Revere House, 360 Observation Deck Boston, Salem Witch Museum, Real Pirates Museum, Salem. Mayflower II Plymouth, Plimoth/Patuxet Museum Plymouth. There literally were 30 other things that you could have taken advantage of. I appreciate the savings and the suggestions of things to do.
Love the Penguins 🐧 and the Sea Lions. The Harbour City Cruise was fun and relaxing. We will be back again for the 4th of July.
My son and I enjoyed the Boston CityPass. We went to the aquarium, Franklin Park Zoo and we viewed Boston Observation Deck. The fish were beautiful, it was nice that the animals were so close to you at the zoo, and the observation deck views were unbelievable! You could see the whole city!
Worked great with the app, only problem is that I was here on weekdays and wasn’t able to book the Boston city harbour cruise because it’s limited days in the winter for city pass holders so that seemed a shame really it was one of the ones I wanted to do when I initially bought the pass. Was fine using it for museum of sciences, the view and aquarium. Didn’t feel like there was much choice really with the museums offered and the viewpoint didn’t seem as significant as everything else but we ran out of time
The zoo was closed for a private event and the Harvard Art Museums are already free and made the CityPASS pointless.
We were 15 minutes late in catching the lady harbor cruise. My husband is a Vietnam Vet you has bladder cancer from Agent Orange while protecting our freedom. Because we were late and missed the cruise we lost all of our Boston City Pass…. We are here on our Golden Anniversary 💍🎂. This really has ruined it! Can we get a full refund? Plz!
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts was phenomenal; a must do for art enthusiasts! We have been to several aquariums. The 1 in Boston stood out bc of its unique central tank. The Museum of Science is an uncommon type of museum and offers a little bit of everything. The View was a great 1st day experience bc it can help shape your plan if your stay in Boston has flexibility. I had some difficulty accessing my tickets. The staff of City Pass expertly assisted me. I am so thankful for how accommodating they were!
These trolleys, like hop on/off trolleys in every other major tourist city serve a basic simple need: how to see a lot of the city, get the simple history of it all, and be able to explore more at your leisure. It works. I've done it many times, and is usually one of the first things we do when hitting a new city to explore. This Boston Trolley is the same. Goes around the inner city with a narrative. We took the two day bus pass, as it worked out better for getting around, as Boston is notoriously bad for driving and parking. We also did this through the City Pass, as it made sense considering all the other area attractions we were going to see. The only issue I had was that it doesn't really go to far out, but stays within a small area of the park and harbor area, which to be frank are totally walkable. The USS Constitution was the only distant stop it made.
Not easy to make all reservations by internet. Could not book my Science museum tickets in advance. Not that easy to navigate the website
This captured so many of the items we wanted to do! It was a really great experience and easy to use the passes! So much to see!
Very good, but you can only use each attraction once. In our case, we were going to use the Salem Witch Museum and had reserved our ticket, however because of shuttling and time, we never used it that day. So we decided to go the next day. Because we had already 'said' that we were going to go the previous day, it did not allow us to use it again. (we had unlimited 2-day pass) so we had to buy the tickets again seperately from the Go City Pass. Bummer.
I was nervous about buying the pass at first. I have struggled with electronic ticketing in the past. It was available instantly. It was great being able to choose what we did. We made it through the New England Aquarium, Boston Harbor Cruise and part of the Museum of Science.
Had a great time. Worth every dollar. A complete 2-3 day trip is recommended rather than covering all in a day.
It’s a great way to see many attractions around Boston and save money at the same time. The aquarium was very unique. My kids were a little too old to enjoy the science museum (19 & 15), but we thoroughly enjoyed the other attractions.
No complaints. It was enjoyable. Went to the Franklin park zoo and the aquarium both were awesome. Wish I had more time to do the other things but ran out of time due to having to cut my trip short
10/10 great experience. we got to see the science museum, aquarium, zoo, & harvard museum! We learned so much and had the best day
It’s a great bargain! The Zoo was great as was the Aquarium! Looking forward to the Museum of Science and Harvard Museum of Natural History!
We chose to do the boat cruise, aquarium, zoo, and museum of science. The experiences were amazing. Will definitely return and recommend to friends.
Amazing time, my brother loved he and he usually doesn’t like trips :/! But he loved it all :) great!
Review is of Viator app and not the Boston City pass. I bought the ticket on viator app. It showed the tickets on day 1. After I used it in Franklin zoo the status of the ticket changed to completed and could not show in the app. The city pass is for 9 days and now I have to rummage through wifi to get my email where the passes were sent. Viator app says that bookings are avialable offline which is not true. Be aware. Or just buy it on city pass website. There is no value to use the viator app whivh I was thinking of using to have all my tickets in one place for convenience.
The Zoo which was awesome, a harbor cruise, an amazing Aquarium, and the Science Museum all in less than 48 hours. Great 2 day vacation.
All was paid for ahead of time and it made it easy for us. The sight were amazing. Enjoyed the duck tour the best info.
Finding out that my ticket doesn't cover what I was told spent the day waiting for whale watching then came to find out its not even the right ticket they sold me
You won’t regret it, especially if you have a group of two or more people. The city cruise was very informative; both the museum of science and the aquarium were fun for the kids. Overall, great experience.
couldnt open attachment to show I bought the passes. had to buy individual tix for entry and cancel citypass. now Im fighting for a refund for the citypasses that were not useable!!!
Great saving ! You can do cruise. Aquarium and science museum in one day. Aquarium is small but nice. Don’t forget to the the kinetic Skulptur at the museum !!!
The Aquarium, Science Museum and Water Cruise were fantastic. We learned so much history and science discoveries that impact our daily living. The City Pass is a deal!
We decided to get the Boston City Pass in the last minute and ordered it on Viator the day before departure. We got the ticket by email shortly and then make reservation for the aquarium and harbor cruise immediately for the third day of our trip. All tickets arrived within minutes by email. We went to the Natural History Museum on Day 1 of our trip and Science Museum on Day 2. Everything went smoothly. With the 4 attractions, we save near $100 for a family of 4.
Great deal for the money. It pays for itself after 2 deals. Went to the aquarium and Harvard museum. Lsti have the boat tour tomorrow
HEADS UP!! You won’t be refunded if you only use at one location. The tickets disappear once you reserve at one place and they won’t give you the difference of unused money/tickets. Highly recommend to just go and wait in line and buy a ticket at whatever place you want to go. Don’t waste you’re time AND MONEY!
The Museum of Science is incredible. There are so many interactive attractions that you will need at least 4 hours to see.
My boyfriend and I had the best time ever in Boston and CityPass made that possible. Everything was so simple because of it
Aquarium was awesome. We weren't able to do other things on the city pass due to the hurricane Henri. Every thing closed in anticipation of bad weather.
Was fantastic! Started off the day at Aquarium and pre-ordered the harbor cruise tickets at the same time which was Maybe less than 150 yards away! Then was able to go to the science museum in afternoon! People literally saw the tickets and gave you the admission tickets right away! Well worth it especially when the tickets are now like 28-32$ individually!
The historic cruise was AWESOME but be sure to get there 10-15 minutes before your boarding time. We waited until boarding time to show up and couldn’t get a seat outside the boat. It was hard to squeeze everything in since we just did a day trip so if you’re the kind of person that likes to stay at the places for a few hours at a time you may not be able to see every place included. Be sure to reserve your times if necessary at each place! It was a great experience/ day trip!
