Houston Gets CityPass

Starting May 13, visitors to Houston will have a good option for seeing the city's top attractions: CityPass. We've used CityPass in Chicago and it's a great deal offering savings in terms of money and time. This will be the first city in Texas (actually the first in the Southwest) to offer CityPass and we're looking forward to using it on our next visit.

How does it work?
CityPass includes a booklet that contains actual tickets to attractions, attraction information, transportation directions, best times to visit, a map and info from National Geographic Traveler. A very important detail: CityPass ticket holders also avoid most ticket queues.

Price: The Houston CityPass will cost $34 for adults (a $63.40 value) and $24 for children ages 4-11 (a $44.70 value).

The Time Period: You'll have nine days to use your ticket booklet from its first use.

The Attractions: The Houston CityPass will include:
  • Space Center Houston
  • Downtown Aquarium
  • Houston Museum of Natural Science
  • The Houston Zoo
  • Option ticket: The Health Museum OR George Ranch Historical Park
  • Option ticket: The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston OR Children's Museum of Houston
Where to Buy: Starting May 13, Houston CityPass can be purchased at any participating Houston attraction, at the Houston Visitors Center at 901 Bagby St. or online at www.VisitHoustonTexas.com or www.citypass.com.

Hi Paris and John! Thanks for letting everyone know about our latest city, Houston, for CityPass. We are very excited about this CityPass because the city has two very unique attractions found nowhere else -- Space Center Houston and the George Ranch Historical Park. These two attractions are "outside the loop" and the rest of the attractions are right downtown, but visitors should not miss these.
Houston CityPass goes on sale May 13 just in time for summer vacation, and this programis our most affordable yet.
