June 1, 2007 (San Francisco, CA) – From the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to the Aquarium of the Bay, visitors to San Francisco have a new way to see the city’s top attractions. The San Francisco Explorer Pass lets customers choose three or five from a list of nine popular attractions and visit each attraction once during a 30 day period.
San Francisco Explorer Pass is available for sale following the resounding success of the sister product known as the Go San Francisco™ Card. The Explorer Pass is the latest addition to a family of attraction passes offered by Smart Destinations, the premier provider of attraction passes in top U.S. travel destinations. The pass is valid for up to 30 days once used at each attraction, so locals and visitors alike benefit from the flexibility.

Bring the family to the Exploratorium, take a historic cable car ride, or choose one of the other attractions any time during the 30 day period," said Smart Destinations president Cecilia Dahl. “You can even skip the line at some of the most visited attractions, which saves you time."
