Smart Destinations: The best attractions. One low price.

Will it really save me money? See a sample San Francisco itinerary.

This is probably the most common question we get asked. We’ve built our product to deliver savings compared to buying individual tickets.

Here is how we can save you money:
  • Smart Destinations (the company behind the Go City Card and Explorer Pass) works with each and every museum, tour, zoo, park, and attraction on the price we pay them for visits they receive using our product. Because we bring a lot of visitors (over 3.5 million visits so far), they give us a deal.
  • We then price our product to pass those saving onto you. Our goal is to ensure our price represents a real saving compared to the cost of buying individual tickets at each attraction. See the sample San Francisco itinerary below.
  • The card works as your ticket. It covers the regular admission to the included attractions – there is nothing more you have to pay.
Here's how the savings can work.

Here is an example San Francisco that one family of four (two adults and two children*) did using the card. The prices in brackets are the prices they would have paid if they did NOT have a Go City Card and instead had to buy individual tickets. Their three day San Francisco itineraries are just an example - you don’t have to do what they did – what you see and do its up to you! (*Child up to 12 years)
