This holiday season, give your loved ones, family and friends something they’ll never forget — memories: stunning views from the top of the Empire State Building and the Space Needle; tours of Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre, home of the Oscars, and Space Center Houston, home to NASA’s Apollo-era Mission Control; or an exciting tour of Southern California’s most thrilling theme parks, including Disneyland, Disney California Adventure Park, Universal Studios Hollywood and SeaWorld San Diego.

Each CityPASS ticket booklet contains prepaid admission to a destination’s top attractions, based on visitor attendance. So, visitors who use CityPASS have entrée to a city’s can’t-miss, must-see sights. And, in many cases, those same visitors take the VIP route, using their CityPASS to skip the main-entrance ticket line. CityPASS is available for Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Hollywood, Houston, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Southern California and Toronto.

CityPASS also benefits the gift giver, trimming up to half off what it would cost to purchase individual tickets to the included attractions separately. New York CityPASS, for example, costs $79 and includes admission tickets whose combined retail value is nearly double that price.

CityPASS is also a great solution for locals who may be hosting friends or family members over the holidays — not to mention looking for ways to entertain the kids over the winter break. Even if you can’t take time off work to play tour guide, you can be certain your guests won’t miss any of the top sights. With a CityPASS in hand, they’ll see the best your city has to offer.
