Philadelphia is a city filled with fantastic museums, but many have a rather steep admission fee. Now there’s CityPASS, a discount book for 5 attractions . . . but wait, wait! There’s more! I was happy to be hosted to experience it.
The booklet is convenient and small: you can easily fit it in a back or jacket pocket. By purchasing CityPass, you save 47% off box office ticket prices and you won’t have to stand in line, either. Hey! Don’t you feel sometimes on trips that half the time, you’re waiting in some sort of awful line or another?
You don’t have to plan, plan, plan ahead of time, either, like the olden days of travel. Get your vouchers by email!
Several of the vouchers are an either-or selection of destinations. Here’s one terrific, value-added ticket: the Big Bus! It’s hop-on, hop-off with 27 stops. The bus itself is a guided tour bus, double decker for extra sightseeing/photography opportunities. Philadelphia’s museums are a little spread out . . . taking cabs to them could rack up quite the bill. With the Big Bus, you might see a venue from the bus that you originally were going to pass on (if that’s not too bad a pun), and be lured off to visit it! Or, just enjoy the bus as a relaxing way to take in Philadelphia and its neighborhoods. Their stops are close to many of the Center City hotels.
