How it works
- What is a Go Boston Card?
-
- A Go Boston Card is an attraction pass that gets you into multiple attractions for one low price. It provides admission to 58 Boston attractions.
- A Go Boston Card is like a theme park pass to the city: you can use it to get into as many attractions as you want.
- How does a Go Boston Card Work?
-
- You will receive a physical card that will serve as your pass to all of our included Boston attractions.
- Simply present your card at any of the included attractions between 9:00am-5:30pm and get same day entry.
- How do I get one?
-
- Decide how many consecutive calendar days you want to sightsee in Boston (what does consecutive days mean?)
- Buy a pass for each person in your party.
- Have your cards shipped or pick it up when you get there at one of our voucher redemption locations.
- Enjoy a free guidebook included with each order to help plan your itinerary.
- What’s the catch?
-
There’s no catch. Go Boston Card has a partnership with all of the participating attractions to make your visit to Boston as memorable as possible and to help you save time and money.
Compare the price of the card to the retail prices of the attractions to see how much you can save. Many customers save more than 50%.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What do you mean by consecutive calendar days?
-
The first time you visit an attraction, it will “activate” the calendar day countdown on your card.
For example, a 3-day card activated on a Monday will be valid on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It doesn’t matter what time you activate the card on the first day, so we suggest you start your day early.
- How many days should I buy?
-
Most travelers visit between 2 and 3 attractions each day depending on individual preference. We suggest you count the number of attractions and divide by the number of days to get an estimate. Our most popular card is the 3-day card.
- Is my card valid all day?
-
Your card is valid for daytime admission to attractions. This means that attractions cannot be visited after 5:30pm with the Go Boston Card — so plan your day accordingly.
- Can I visit the same attraction more than once?
-
In most cases, you can visit each attraction once per day. Some attractions are valid only once during the life of the card. Please reference your guidebook page for specific information on each attraction.
- What is the age cut off for child tickets?
-
Child cards are for ages 3-12. Most attractions are free for children under 3.
- Should I have my card shipped or should I pick it up?
-
- Having your card shipped in advance will save you time traveling to a pick up location when you get there.
- Transit times vary depending on shipping options. View shipping options.
- If you don’t have time to wait for cards to ship, we will email you a voucher which can be exchanged for passes at one of our voucher redemption locations.
- Where can I pick up my card once I get to the city?
- Where can I buy the card once I get there?
-
View a list of sales locations in Boston. Note that if we are running a web-only sale, the in-city sales locations will not be able to honor that sale price. In-city purchases are available at full price only.
- Do I need to make reservations to visit the attractions?
-
Attractions that require a reservation will display this symbol on the guidebook page.
Some attractions require a credit card to hold a reservation. In these cases, your credit card will not be charged unless you do not show up for your reservation.
- I still have questions!
-
Please feel free to call us at 866-628-9027 and we’ll be happy to help you!
Note: A Go Boston Card is non-transferrable. This means that once you start using it, you are the only person who can use it to get into attractions. Go Boston Cards may not be re-sold.
You should treat your Go Boston Card like cash. If it is lost or stolen, it cannot be replaced.

LOVE the GO CARDS!!

Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
I just got back from Boston, used the 5 day card for Boston and Newport RI. My husband and I saved at least 110.00 each and we did a lot more things than we normally would have done. Like the aquarium, we only had an hour before it closed, but since it was on the card we went in and still were able to see the highlights, otherwise we would have not paid since we would not have gotten our money's worth. All the venders were happy to take the card, had no problems at all. We had also used the Blue Ridge Go card during the summer and it was great also. I look forward to going many more places that have the Go Card!! Just plan your time so you can get the most out of the card, and you will love it.

Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
This is a great card IF you plan the trip. We had an alternative plan for rain and it did for a day and a half (8/14-8/15/11). We toured the National Aquarium and Children's Museum as inside activities on the rain day. We only completed these 2 things on that day which is why planning is important. Also, many places are only open 9 or 10 to 4 or 5 so don't plan to see everything due to travel time between destinations and the time to see it. Plan a few things a day for what you may do and then do a comparison between just paying the admission and the card. It is convenient and it also saved us time in lines, like the Aquarium, as we could just walk to the desk and be admitted. (The Aquarium had a long line at 9:00 when it opened and we avoided it). I would recommmend the card.

I ordered my cards b4 we left and pre-booked the Whale watch and Brunch cruise which was a great idea. Both were great! Keep in mind whale watch on open water-take gravol b4 you go! The trolley tour was great. Fenway Park tour enjoyable. If you want to see a lot of Boston in a short time this is a great way to do it!My husband lost sun glasses on trolley and the kind staff return them to us the next day!!

Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
Overall the experience was good... I feel like we got our money's worth out of the card... if we didn't have our own vehicle it would have been difficult to get from one attraction to another... the hop on hop off trolloy was a major pain... couldn't find the ticket pickup near the commons went to the prudential centre that one was hard to find... spent 2 hours trying to get the ticket then waited for over 30 minutes at a pick up spot and no trolloy came so we gave up... we were really looking forward to this that was the most frustrating part of using this ticket...

Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
My sisters and I planned a family trip, and purchased the 3 day card. We took the Duck Tour, Freedom Trail tour, Fenway Park Tour, Boston Massacre tour at Old State House, Whale Watch, Swan Boats, and went to the Aquarium twice.(one day we went in around 4 and the next day we went in for an hour, while waiting for the whale watch...best part...we didn't have to wait in the LONG LINE!) We also went to the Museum of Fine Art to see the Chihuly Exhibit.We definitely felt we got our money's worth..it saved time, and we weren't always looking for money..We ordered the cards a few weeks before our trip,had them sent and then planned all the things we wanted to see and do.We also used the discounts for souvenirs.Whale watch was awesome...whales were up close and way too many to count. Tour guides at Fenway and Freedom Trail were terrific. (it was 95 degrees and our tour guide kept my 9 year old nephews interest for the 90 minute tour.Just can't say enough about our weekend..and really give alot of credit to having the card and preplanning.Keep the book handy..We were going to do the Trolley Tour and went to Quincy Market to pick up the tickets...it was no longer there..but I called and they told me how to get to the nearest spot..unfortunately we ran out of time and never did the Trolley. Everyone is very helpful.PS. If you want an early Duck Tour..get to the Prudential Center..get in line by 8:15-they open at 8:30. (We got a 10:30 tour...but we needed 7 seats.Same thing for Fenway Park..we got to the Team Store at 8:30- we got on the 9:00 tour.

Boston Go Card
By Joe
from Boston, MA on 6/14/2011
Pros:
Ease of Use
Cons:
Not all tours worth it
Best Uses:
Museum of Art Museum of Science Duck tour
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
If you want to enjoy your Boston trip, DONT take the Whale Tour! The boat was running 40 minutes late, it was full, the captain decided to run the boat at Full speed for 1 1/2 hours to the whale site, more than half the passengers were vomiting at this point, we spent at most 20 minutes looking for whales, spotted a few for seconds and the captain left!, spent another hellish 1 1/2 hours going back, at this point, the whole boat smelled of vomit, almost everyone was sick! DO NOT take the worthless whale tour also, the lunch tour was also a waste, it was boring, the food was bad The museums were excellent We enjoyed Boston Gardens and Boston Commons the most which were free!

Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
I purchased 3 Go Boston cards for the 7 day package and the very next day they went on sale, So I called the customer service number and asked if I could get refunded for the sale price, she said it was no problem and was very friendly, with in the hour I had my money back (the difference of the sale price). With the discount it became [$] dollars a day for each of us to tour Massachusetts, pretty good deal to me! The customer service was great and we are excited to use our cards for our trip to Boston!

Loved the Go Card!

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
I ordered GoCards for my boyfriend and I when we were in visiting from NY. I figured it was worth a shot to try! We loved it. The only thing is you really have to plan out your attractions/times in advance. There are many attractions that close earlier compared to the others or are limited on weekends etc. Value-wise the card is great. I ended up buying a three day card and on our way back to NY we stopped and did Six Flags which made the card worth it for sure since it gives you free admission to the park. I also recommend using the T which is Boston's subway...super easy compared to NYC. It's color coded and you can easily get around in minutes. We purchased a day pass for the subway and moved all over the city from site to site easily. We're excited to purchase GoCards when we go to other cities.

Go Boston Card ROCKS!!!
By Liz the Lemon
from Cleveland, OH on 10/13/2010
from Cleveland, OH on 10/13/2010Pros:
Easy to use, Savings, Useful Guidebook
Cons:
none,
Best Uses:
Included Harbor Cruise, Orchard House- Concord, Grey Line Trolley Tour
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about Smart Destinations Go Boston Card:
This was our first trip to Boston and our first time using a Go Card. We found the Go Boston Card to be an incredible value and so easy to use. We visited Orchard House (in Concord), then drove in to Boston and took the GreyLine Trolley Tour all around the city- then did the included Harbor Cruise. Not only was the card hassle-free, it also came with a useful pocket sized guidebook that noted important info, like where to take your card to get the vouchers to ride the trolley and boat etc. We also ate lunch at a great restaurant in the North End (Strega) and found out the DAY AFTER that it was 30% off- with the card! Lesson learned: read thru the all the "special offers" to get most bang for your buck- its worth it!!
