Not everyone is heading away from home for vacation and, for about 75 dollars; it won’t be necessary thanks to the Seattle City Pass.

The Seattle City Pass is a special ticket that allows the ticket holder to visit six of the seven top attractions in Seattle. The Space Needle, the Seattle aquarium, the Pacific science center, an argosy boat tour, The EMP music museum, the museum of flight or the Woodland Park Zoo.

Separately the bundle could cost someone 114 dollars, meaning the pass saves 40 dollars per person. The pass doesn’t have a standard expiration date, but does say that the pass will only be valid for nine days after the first exhibit is paid for.

The Space Needle offers a unique view over all of Seattle, allowing visitors to spot ferries, duck boats, the pier Ferris wheel, and the news stations from the sky deck. The deck also holds an exceptional restaurant that slowly turns to give a rotating view of the city, though the prices are sky high as well.

The pacific science center has various fun activates and information related to science, but it also houses a gigantic IMAX screen. People who purchase the city pass also have free admission to a movie included.

The aquarium is one of the pricier exhibits in the roster, given that they provide the hour long ferry tour on top of admission. The aquarium boasts exhibits about orcas, sea mammals, sharks and the Puget Sound.

The EMP museum is mostly known for the science fiction and the music aspect of their exhibits, but currently they’re tackling the realm of high fantasy. Overall the museum feels sort of quirky and fun in the same way as the pacific science center does with its science exhibits.

Either the Woodland Park Zoo or the Museum of flight, whichever suits the pass holder. The Zoo might go well with the aquarium with younger kids while the museum of flight might interest teens more, depending on interests. Both places offer a good deal of specialized and memorable content.
