The Explorer Pass is Your Ticket
The Pass gets you in to each and every one of the included attractions. Simply choose the one from the list of Premier Choices and two from the list of Signature Choices. There’s no need to pick which attractions you want to see in advance and you have 30 days from when you first use the Pass to see the number of attractions you have selected.
It is Easy To Use
Every attraction covered by the Explorer Pass is ready for your visit. Simply hand the Pass to the ticket agent, they will swipe it, hand it back, and let you in. For certain tours, its best to phone in advance to reserve a seat, but otherwise the process is the same.
It Saves You Money
The cost of buying a ticket at each attraction and tour can add up quickly. With the Explorer Pass, you pay one price to access the number of attractions you select. So the savings add up quickly!
Have it Mailed or Pick it Up
We have multiple shipping options to get you your Explorer Pass and guidebook before you travel. But if time is tight, simply select "In City Pick-Up" at checkout and it will be waiting for you when you to arrive!
Enjoy the Extras
Customers buy the Explorer Pass because it saves them money. But they love the Explorer Pass for all the included extras. There is the guidebook to help you plan your days, exclusive restaurant and shopping discounts, and best of all: VIP entry at many attractions that lets you skip the lines.
Each Person Gets Their Own Pass
If you are travelling with family or friends, don't worry about a loss of freedom. Each person is free to take their pass and use it as they wish - you don't have to stick together if interests or energy levels vary.
What's the Catch?
There isn’t one. The attractions charge us special rates not available to the public. That allows us to price the Explorer Pass at a level that saves you money. That’s all there is to it.

Great Savings
By Michele Verified Reviewer from Philadelphia, PA on 7/20/2010
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smart Destinations Chicago Explorer Pass:

This card was great. For the price of the three day pass, we easily could have spent a lot more for the things we did (Boat Tour, Bike Rental, and Sky Deck). I even got a free burger at one of the participating restaurants.

WOULD NEVER BUY AGAIN!!!!!
By Windy city visitor from Wisconsin on 6/22/2010
Cons:
Can only use one premier, Did not get our worth, Will never buy again
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smart Destinations Chicago Explorer Pass:

When I purchased the card online. I read just the top sections. It wasn't until 2 uses of my card that I was made aware that you could only use the card at 1 premier attraction. I was very upset as I believe that the website was very misleading. I will never buy one of these cards again.

Smart Destinations Response: Sorry you felt misled. We try and make it crystal clear how it works, but based on your feedbak we'll see if we can further improve it.
