Think outside the box this season, and give a CityPass city break instead

Have someone on your gift list each season that’s hard to fit, or just plain hard to please? Give them a holiday city break with a CityPass, the original visitor attraction program in the United States.

CityPass combines the most popular museums and attractions in these lovely North American cities – San Francisco, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles/Hollywood, Seattle, Chicago, Southern California, Toronto, and new this year—Atlanta, Georgia in a pocket-sized booklet allowing visitors to breeze past ticket lines. Sold at a substantial discount off box office prices (usually close to 50%), CityPass makes giving a getaway to a fascinating city simple, affordable and very unique. Slip San Francisco into a stocking for $49.00 USD, charm someone in Chicago for $49.50 USD or bundle up the best of Boston for just $39.00 USD. The Big Apple is never more delicious than when dipped in a bargain—New York CityPass is only $53.00 USD for five icon attractions. For about $100.00 USD for two adult ticket booklets in most cities, CityPass is the biggest value of the year.

CityPass includes admission to iconic museums and attractions recognized the world over—Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Empire State Building in New York City, a bay cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CN Tower in Toronto, The Field Museum in Chicago, John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, and a trip to Disneyland in Southern California, to name a few. CityPass is valid for nine days in urban cities and 14 days in Southern California. This season, CityPass will be valid all winter in five cities, perfect for the traveler with plans for an extended stay in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle or Hollywood, from December 15, 2006 to March 31, 2007.

CityPass wraps up holiday shopping online at www.citypass.com. A new gift wrap folder organizes the museums, maps and intriguing city offers found in every CityPass with a “notice me” red holder designed to also accept itineraries, confirmations and a sticky note or two. A personalized gift card is included, and shipping to home, office or hotel is available. Residents in the U.K. enjoy low-priced shipping via Royal Post mail. FedEx can come to the rescue for procrastinators.

Best of all is the price. CityPass appears to be an extravagant gift while saving time and money. Adult ticket prices are about 50% off the combined box office price of participating attractions (and 25% in Southern California), and youth pricing offers similar savings. The sleek gift folder is available for $2.00 USD on most orders.

CityPass is as easy to give as it is to receive, and will be far more appreciated as a guest room amenity than a good book. CityPass is the ticket that makes the trip.
