About this tour

See Chicago’s skyline, museums, and riverfront sights with one flexible digital pass. The Chicago Essentials Pass gives you entry to three attractions of your choice, so you can shape your plans around the views and experiences that appeal to you.

Choose one featured attraction, such as 360 CHICAGO, Skydeck Chicago, the Shoreline Architecture River Cruise, or the Field Museum, then select two more favorites. Options include the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, Adler Planetarium, Flyover in Chicago, the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel and rides, the Museum of Illusions Chicago, 10pin Chicago Bowling & Pizza, and a walking tour. The lineup and access details can change, so check the Go City app before you go.

Your pass activates at your first attraction visit, then gives you 30 days to use the remaining entries. Sync it with the Go City app using the instructions in your second confirmation email, or save it to your device or print a copy. Some popular attractions require advance reservations. Pick your three stops and enjoy Chicago at your own pace with the Chicago Essentials Pass.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.14 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Chicago
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
