Buffalo Attractions & City Passes
How a city attraction pass works
A city attraction pass bundles admission to several of a city's top sights into one ticket you buy once. The big passes — CityPASS, Go City and The Sightseeing Pass — each cover a different set of attractions and price differently, and what they include changes over time. That is why this page never prints a price or a fixed bundle: we show you the cited attractions and link you to the provider for live pricing, so you compare against the sights you actually want to see.

The city draws visitors with a diverse range of cultural and recreational attractions, including historic sites that reflect its industrial heritage, acclaimed art museums, general museums covering local and natural history, and a full-service zoo. With eight major attractions throughout the city, there is substantial variety for travelers interested in different types of experiences.
A city pass can be an efficient way to visit multiple Buffalo attractions using a single ticket. Rather than purchasing individual admission tickets, a bundled pass allows visitors to plan visits across several sites. For current information about which specific attractions are included, pricing options, and pass validity periods, visitors should consult the official pass provider directly. The region also benefits from proximity to two National Park Service sites, offering additional exploration opportunities nearby.
