Firstly, download the Go City app. You can then use your order confirmation number to add your pass to your phone. Et voilà, it'll be right there on the app. (But don't worry, your pass won't activate until you visit your first attraction!).
Feeling old-school? You can also print your pass at home using the link in your confirmation email. (You can also show this version of the pass on your phone if you'd prefer!).
Got your pass? Let the sightseeing begin! Some attractions welcome visitors on the day and some need to be booked in advance, so be sure to check our Explorer Pass reservations page before you travel.
When you get to each attraction, tour, or activity, show your pass for entry. You've got total control of your sightseeing - plan ahead, or choose attractions as you go!
With the Explorer Pass, you can pick 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 attractions to visit from our list of top Chicago sights, tours, and must-sees.
Plus, with the Go City app, you'll have all the information you need at your fingertips. We're talking attraction information, suggested itineraries, a handy map, and more!
Visiting your first chosen attraction will activate your pass. From then on, you can go at your own pace - you'll have 60 days to visit the rest. Sweet!
The Explorer pass is perfect for sightseers who are visiting a city for longer and want to take their time seeing the sights without much of a time constraint.
With the Explorer pass, you can choose the number of Explorer attractions you're interested in seeing, either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. Once you've activated your pass by visiting an attraction, you'll then have up to 60 days to visit the rest. There's no need to choose which attractions you'd like to see before you purchase the card, you can pick and choose any of the Explorer attractions as you go. This means you can change your mind and wait and see what you feel like in the moment.
The more attractions you choose the more you'll save. The Explorer pass has its own line up of attractions which you can view here.
If you have an All-Inclusive pass, it will be valid for the number of days you purchase. Visiting your first attraction will activate your pass and count as your first calendar day. If you have an Explorer or Build Your Own pass, it will be valid 60 days from first use, so you'll have more time to visit your attractions.
