WHY IT RATES: Travel agents have a new ally when helping clients optimize their trips when visiting Philadelphia.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.
Beginning March 1, travelers will have a new way to save money while visiting Philadelphia's most popular attractions. CityPASS, the company that specializes in packaging discounted admission to the most iconic attractions in 12 North American destinations, has launched Philadelphia C3/C4/C5 tickets, a mobile ticketing concept that allows a customized approach to exploring the "City of Brotherly Love."
CityPASS ticket booklets typically contain a set number of attraction admission tickets. The new Philadelphia CityPASS program, however, puts a flexible twist on this popular concept. C3, C4, and C5 mobile tickets allow travelers to save 40 percent or more off combined admission prices when selecting any three, four or five attractions from a curated list of 12 top Philadelphia sights:
-Academy of Natural Sciences
-Adventure Aquarium
-Barnes Foundation
-Battleship New Jersey
-Big Bus Company and Philadelphia Trolley Works
-Eastern State Penitentiary
-The Franklin Institute
-Museum of the American Revolution
-National Constitution Center
-One Liberty Observation Deck
-Philadelphia Zoo
-Please Touch Museum
"Travelers using the new Philadelphia tickets will have more choices with their trip planning," said Megan Allen, CityPASS president and CEO. "Depending on their length of stay and interests, they can customize an itinerary that fits their schedule. And for return visitors who have already toured some of the included attractions on previous trips, they can purchase another ticket and experience an entirely different group of sights."
Philadelphia CityPASS mobile tickets are valid for nine consecutive days, including the first day of use. Attractions do not have to be selected in advance and can be visited in any order. Currently, Philadelphia CityPASS tickets can be purchased exclusively on CityPASS.com. The tickets, which are available in the purchaser's choice of seven languages, are delivered by email to the user's smartphone for easy scanning at the selected attractions.
Pricing for Philadelphia CityPASS tickets starts at $49 for adults; $34 for children, age 3-12:
-C3 (visit any three attractions): $49, adults; $34, children
-C4 (visit any four attractions): $65, adults; $46, children
-C5 (visit any five attractions): $76, adults; $56, children
