Worked very well for us as a family of five (children 7, 10, and 13), and had a plan in place for our four days in SF to hit everything in the CityPass. Swapped out the cruise for Alcatraz tour (have to phone Alcatraz Cruises to pre-buy CityPass from them and to pre-book Alcatraz). We relied on transit & cable car any time we could (get transit map from Alcatraz Cruises when you pick up your booklet), so the 3-day bus pass that's included (which is normally $33 dollars per adult if you by from transit) is very useful. CityPass has four attractions in it and if you plan to hit three then you've saved a little bit; use the bus too, and you've saved about $30+/person and the hassle of standing in ticket lines (which can be surprisingly long even in a March low season in SF) to buy tickets (that's the only line you skip btw from what I can tell). Plus for me, it's just nice to pre-buy instead of having to feel like you're shelling out money (basically $30/adult and $25/kid) every time you enter...

It was cool, but we had to rush to get back to where we parked. BUT when we went to the museum, our pass didn't scan, and we were running out of time. We were on hold forever trying to reach someone to help us out, but we ended up buying tickets, and figured we would just ask later to get reimbursed. We came back home, got ahold of their customer support, and did the whole process of giving them our info. It has been over 3 months, and we still have not gotten reimbursed. I guess it is "being looked over" still, but 3 months... I'm not feeling positive I'm getting my money back. Paid twice for the...
Read moreThe value of the package is really a great deal. We visited the optional aquarium at the Bay and the zoo, and also the included cruise around the Bay and academy of science. I'm so glad we decided to do this instead of paying the ticket price at each attraction. We were especially hesitant about the cruise because we went to alcatraz earlier that week but the boat ride around alcatraz and the pylons of the golden gate was an incredible experience I highly recommend. There are a lot of negative comments about the aquarium at the Bay but I really enjoyed it especially the jellyfish and the otters-they have a few otters here but only one...
