You should plan ahead of time the things you want to see and do. If you want until you get there, you will have wasted precious time and will miss things. We took a GPS with us. If we didn't have it we would have missed half of the things we planned to do. The card was a great investment.

There are stringent time restrictions on when you can use this card. For instance you must be at the attraction by 5:30. When we got stuck in traffic and got to the attraction at 5:35 the card was not honored even though we were only 5 minutes late.

Went to LA for 6 days and bought the 3 day card. What is great was that the booklet for the card was organized by area, so it made planning for each day a little easier and covered great. I wasn't able to do all the things I wanted to because I'm not an early morning person, and in order to really get good use of the card, you need to be out by 8am to get to the last place to swipe by 5pm. However with the 5pm deadline to entry for the attractions/tours, it was VERY difficult to make the most use of the card. There was lot more pre-planning that I did not anticipate - ie, trying to book tours around lunch/dinner and still having to estimating travel time in order to get in as many attractions before 5pm. This was tedious and took away from the full satisfaction of the attraction/tour. It would be great if the card could be used till closing time for all the attractions.

Bought the 3-day Go LA card for 2 people. Thought it was a good deal after seeing all the positive reviews. 1st day. Wanted to go to Warner Bros. tour in morning and Universal Studios Hollywood in afternoon as I saw in iternery sample on the web. Went to Warner Bros. studios and told card was only Valid 2-4pm. Huh? How was I going to get there at that time. Was disappointed. After I had to pay $7 for parking already. This was in the booklet, and it's my bad for not reading it better. So we just spent the entire day at Universal Studios Hollywood. 2nd day. Went to Hollywood. Did the Trolley Tour with Starline. I think this was their cheapest tour. Ok, but driver was very customer service oriented. Did Kodak Theater tour. Was very interesting. Did Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. If you like taking pictures with stars, then that's the place to go. I've never been there and it's a great experience. That's all we could do for the day, as time ran out from the 5:30pm cut off when the card is valid. Wanted to go to the Hollywood Museum but they don't open on Tuesdays. 3rd day. Went to Knott's Berry Farm in the morning and planned to go to Wild Water Kingdom in the afternoon, but went there about 3:30pm and told it was closing at 4pm. Huh? In sunny California water parks only open from 11am-4pm? So we went back to Knott's and told we had to pay another $12 to park again. We just left. Overall, I think this is a good deal if you plan carefully, read the booklet and go to all the theme parks (not Disney). You also need to make reservations which I never like to do. Where as if you just go and pay, you'll jump right in line. Watch out for time restrictions. Restrictions are never good, especially with time. If you don't like squeezing all your activities in 3 days, you should buy the 7 day pass to get more out of the card. But if you search around the web and look at all the brochures in the Hotel or Hollywood kiosks, you can find many coupons that will save you as much or more. I don't think I would buy the cards if I had to do it again.

If you go to any of these places and don't buy this card, you are out of your mind! I had purchased it for Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Always excellent and you save at least 50%. On this trip we would have spend like $350 plus and we bought the 5 days to Los Angeles for less than $200. Only way I would not recommend it is if you will not visit anything, otherwise, go.

We really saw many attractions when in the LA area, thanks to this card. It forced us to visit places we normally wouldn't have gone. Most of the popular tourist sites were included, too..which was wonderful. It was extremely easy to use and also loved the fact that we could pick our own days when we wanted to use it!!! The only thing that we didn't like was that you have to be admitted into any of the attractions BEFORE 5:30pm. We would have liked to do things in the evening, but couldn't use the card. Everything else was great. I am soooo glad we bought these cards. We saved a ton of money and had a great vacation because of them!!!

The card was very easy to use. All the places we went to were familiar with it and there were no problems. I bought the 5 day card (family of 4) and we saved over $350 with this card. If I had not bought the card we would have seen less than half the attractions for more money...so it was well worth it.

The Los Angeles GO Card was the perfect tool to preplan our vacation. We used the pass at Universal Studios, NBC Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Star Tour, Kodak Theatre, Hollywood Musuem, Wax Museums, Santa Monica Pier - Pacific Park, Warner Bros. Definitely recommend the 5 or 7 day to get the most value. [...]Definitely recommend the GO Card and I will use it for future trips to Chicago and NYC.

The LA Go card is a good deal, but not great. I purchased the 5 day version for 2 adults and 3 children and we used it in Feb. 2010. The total cost of the cards was [$] vs. $975 for the total listed price of all the attractions we visited. No one should pay list price, had I done more on-line research for each attraction (Knott's Berry Farm $25 per person in February, Aquarium of the Pacific/Queen Mary combo deal) I would have come out close to even. We did use the cards to see the Guinness Book of World Record Museum and the Hollywood Wax Museum. These are old tired tourist traps, but I had never been into one of these places in my life so the Go card allowed us to see both as well as take the Starline trolley tour of Hollywood and go into the Hollywood Museum. All four Hollywood attractions are an easy afternoon and the advantage of the Go card is that we did not have to weigh the cost/benefit of each attraction. Caution: Pacific Park on Santa Monica Pier has limited hours in the off season and our Cards did not work as only two rides were open. We paid $15 out of pocket to ride the Ferris wheel. If you are planning to go to theme parks every day and see all the Hollywood attractions the Go Card is a good deal, but check all on-line deals first.
