great idea. ran out of time to see everything. loved the "skip the line" tours, but only buy what you can fit in. and be mindful when you use it as that counts as a day. to get the most out of it, use it at the start of a new day. debbie - Australia

Great not have to stand in the long lines. With time the card allowed, we saved a little. Two big problems, we were not told we had to go get a pass for the Hop on Hop off Trolley and the card ended at 530 and some places were open much later . More details needed when purchase is made. Remember you can get your tickets for the Water Cruise Tours before 530 the day you want the tour and go on the 700 pm or 900pm tour.

Most features of the card are quite good. The only fault with the card, would be the "Hop On & Off Trolley rides". Reason being, you have to validate the card at certain points, before your first ride. Also, the stops are not clearly defined which can lead to needless wondering. That said, the Shedd Aquarium and the Architectural River Cruise are a must do. The Navy Pier is good for a couple of hours to just stroll and soak up the sun. A good way to see Chicago on a short stay and a budget.

I have to say, that after visiting I will not go to Chicago again. Who closes the mall on the weekend and when you get the pass they should tell you that you have a very limited time for one day pass during the week.

Had a wonderful time! Stayed at the West Lakeshore our room had fabulous views of the Navy Pier and the waterfront. We used our Go Chicago cards to visit the Field Museum, Art Institute and Museum of Modern Art. Ate in some great old & new restaurants, saw U2 at Soldier Field, and shopped till we dropped. What more could one want!

This was worth every penny. There is so much to see and do in Chicago. We were there for 4 days and had to rush around. We could have stayed longer. This card did save us a lot of money. I definitely recommend this.

This was our first time using a Go Card. I highly recommend this for the price and the VIP treatment you receive. Every city should have this card. Our next trip will be a city that has this card.

Due to time constraints, we chose to pick up our Go card the day of our trip. Very frustrated that we could not get our card until 10am. Our plan was to be at Shedd by 9am, but that was impossible without our card. Once we had it in hand, things went well.

Where to go to pick up the cards was very confusing. Three places where mentioned on the Viator confirmation. One of them is actually does not support this, and Viator has not updated its information. We went to Macy's to pick up the cards. They were supposed to be there at 10 am. She showed up at 10:30 am. Did not answer any question and knew nothing about the tour; she just issued the cards. Then we had to drive to another site to pick up the tickets for the trolley. We lost most of the first day. I will not buy tickets in advance next time. I will purchase them from the source.

It was ok, but I don't think one saves money with this if a thorough tour of the museums is planned. There's not enough time for more - a tribute to the museums.

We had no problems locating the reception area in the shopping centre to collect the cards. The lady on the desk explained how to make the best use of the cards, in particular the tour bus. This system of purchasing the card prior to our holiday really worked for us, as our sightseeing did not bite into our spending cash.

This was the perfect way to see Chicago! My husband and I got the 2-day passes, and managed to see nearly everything we wanted to see without having to pay any extra money. You definitely get your money's worth with this card, and it's so nice to be able to skip the ticket line at some of the places. Don't miss the architecture cruise--it's an interesting and beautiful ride; we learned so much about Chicago's architecture!

The weather was horrendous the weekend we were in Chicago, so we could not use the cards to their full potential. The boat tours had stopped due to a flood alert on the river, and other attractions had poor visibility. So by the time we were told an attraction was closed, there was very little time to do other things on that day. If we had not had the back end of Hurricane Ike, the card would have worked very well and been worth it.

The Go Chicago card MADE my vacation. It made entry to dozens of sites quick and easy. There were so many possible excursions covered by the card that I couldn't do them all! I was able to go to the Art Institute on successive days and still didn't see everything. The Go Chicago card had events covered from the typical, museums, to the sublime, Sears Tower viewing deck, to the comic, Comedy Sportz. It was a most fortunate purchase on my part.

This card was great. We saved about 50-75 by buying it. I was in Chicago for three full days and went to a ton of places with the card. It was easy, we could have skipped lines if there were any and it was much easier to enjoy the attractions with out having to fork over money every time we went into some place. I would buy one again if I went to another city that has one.

The Go Chicago Card was the way to go! We probably saved over 200. The only thing was you felt rushed to get everything in with the one day pass. Another great thing to get around Chicago cheaper and easier is to buy a two day visitor transit pass for cheap, under 15.00 that allows you to ride unlimited bus, train, and subway. We had a great time in Chicago and will return someday when it isn't so hot!

The Go Chicago Card provides one stop shopping for busy weekend visitors. It included all the venues and tours we were hoping to take in and shopping discounts were an added bonus.

Review by: EZHILARASAN D July 2008
Go Chicago card is a deal, by all means. But a 1 day card is not that much; you can visit 3 places max out of 21 because everything has a 5.30 pm entry time cutoff. You can't expect to get the card at Macy's at 10 am and visit more than 2-3 places before 5.30 pm. If you arrive before 6 pm at Macy's the previous day to collect the card or have the card mailed to your home, you could start out at the entry queue of the first place at the earliest opening time, and even still you can visit at the max 4 places. But I had only one day in Chicago and wanted to visit only 3-4 places. I was able to make 3, and the cost was surely less than the total of the individual entry prices. Don't use a car by to travel between places; take a CTA Visitor Pass--a great deal.

The line for the Shedd Aquarium had over 200 people in it. With the Go Card, we moved to the front and got in immediately without waiting. Just make sure you get on the correct on and off bus "The Big Banana".

I booked the three-day Go Chicago card because it covered most of the things we wanted to do on our four-day trip to the city, and though we spent almost every waking minute from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. running around to the point of exhaustion, we fit almost everything in. While it took a lot of coordination concerning when certain museums opened and closed and how close they were to other things, we were able to see just about everything we wanted for a third of the price. I definitely recommend the card if it covers what you want to do, you have some time to plan the trip, and you have the energy to run around. If we had been in town longer I would have gotten the five-day card, which would definitely give you the time to see everything without as much running around although. I would also recommend staying in downtown Chicago since that's where most of the destinations are located, and you cannot make reservations all at once: you must book your tours at the Palmer House Hilton each day.
