A Smart Buy for Cost-Conscious Travellers

- By Shane Boocock

Cheap is the new chic, but that’s not news to one travel company. CityPass® built its fame on bundling the most famous attraction­s in 10 big city destinatio­ns in a pocket-size booklet of actual tickets at up to 50 percent off combined prices for admission to must-see attraction­s - an ideal solution for cost-conscious travellers. If you want to stretch your American dollars here are six reasons CityPass is a smart buy.

1. Get organised

CityPass is the ultimate organised trip pass. Each of their money and time-saving booklets contains entrance to five or six must-see attraction­s. A few online clicks at www.citypass.com and travellers can buy the pocked-sized booklet with a map, tips on the best times to visit, transporta­tion instructio­ns and value-packed coupons.

2. Time saver

Buying CityPass online saves time, but the hidden beauty of CityPass is revealed when the first ticket is used. Rather than waiting in entrance lines, CityPass guests zip past most lines and avoid rain, heat, snow, humidity and fidgeting. Each attraction ticket includes the CityPass secret to get right in.

3. Save money

CityPass costs about half the price of combined regular attraction prices and is loaded with theme parks at big savings. In addition to more cash left in your pocket, the attraction­s pack a cultural and entertainm­ent wallop, full of treasures and signature experience­s.

4. Kid spree

Curiosity-satisfying adventures spill out of CityPass booklet tickets. Invitation­s to touch, smell, experience, learn and test the limits of childhood imaginatio­n are inside museums of science, art, and history. Public transit and city centres – like New York’s Times Square and The Embarcader­o in San Francisco – are icing on the cupcake.

5. No passport required

A journey of imaginatio­n from land to sea creatures, rain forest to desert, space exploratio­n or stargazing are available inside a CityPass booklet. Dip into far-away lands, see amazing animals, sky-high views, and gorgeous gardens or enjoy thrilling rides. Art, artifacts, exploratio­n and fantastic exhibits require little more of the CityPass traveller than picking the day and time to visit.

6. Pinch pennies here – splurge there

Squeeze savings with CityPass and then splash out on other goodies. Explore new restaurant­s at lunch, or be imaginativ­e and buy specific souvenirs from chef’s shops, local marketplac­es or ethnic neighbourh­oods to tuck in your suitcase as take-home gifts. CityPass saves time and money in 10 North American destinatio­ns: New York, Boston, Philadelph­ia, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Southern California, Atlanta, Houston and Toronto, Canada. CityPass is available at each city’s participat­ing attraction­s.
