A trip we will always remember

I took my grandson to Chicago for his 17th birthday. He wanted to check out all the museums and the Lincoln park zoo. We did all that and more. The city pass and making advanced reservations for specific events made our trip so fun and easy.

Difficulty getting admission to attractions
Hector_B
, Sep 2021
I had issues with my viator passes being accepted at the Field museum and the Shedd Aquarium. This needs to be fixed. Looks like they needed a qr code and the tickets issued only have a bar code. At the Aquarium they were finally able to look at the information in the computer, but it's uncomfortable when the validity of the tickets is questioned.

Be Sure to Search for Fine Print in Unexpected Places
Inna_C
, Aug 2021
We did Chicago City Pass and overall the pass saved us some money. However, there were no mentioning of requirement to make reservations in our passes that were emailed to us. Most of the places required reservations ahead of the visit. (You had to go the City Pass website to see all the fine print). Once we got to our first attraction we found out ( not sure if it’s just me, but I look at my pass inclusion/exclusion list and wouldnt think about going to the website for additional fine print). We only had 2 days and it was a bit stressfull to manage, the city pass website also doesnt work well and doest actually link to places to places to make reservation (it just soins forever)

Saved a little money, but not a lot of time
Christine_H
, Aug 2021
Saved a bit of money, but not time. At the Shedd and the Field Museum, we had to wait in longer lines than the regular ticket lines. About 45 minutes at Shedd, half hour at the Field museum. The lines were non-existent at both to buy regular tickets.

Never booked through Viator
Yesenia_S
, Aug 2021
This review is for BOTH Viator and Chicago pass. I called 24 hours prior to arriving advising one of the travelers were sick with COVID and needed to canceled. The very next day I received an email that it was denied because the tickets were used. First of All one ticket was used and each place I went they asked for the second person and I confirmed the second person didn’t traveled. I blamed VIator because they didn’t do their do diligence to canceled on time, now I been charged for an attraction I did not used. I have called Viator five times and each time they denied me to speak to a supervisor they kept telling me they are going to speak to the Operator and not even five minutes later I received an email denying the credit. I would never used Viator again but that does not mean I would continue calling. Until I get my money back.

I apologize that you were not able to get a refund through Viator. Unfortunately, Viator is not able to issue refunds for partial orders. However, if one of your passes was not used at all, you may be eligible for a refund for that pass from CityPASS. You can submit a request for review at citypass.com/returns.

The city pass is great to get into some of the highlights of Chicago. The museums are a day event to see all the amazing displays. The Willis tower and Chicago 360 give some great views and I’m looking forward to seeing the aquarium next!
