Salt Lake City 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 metro area, home to approximately 1.3 million residents, draws visitors interested in exploring both urban destinations and outdoor experiences. Key attractions include historic sites, interactive science facilities, and comprehensive museums that showcase regional history and art. The city's zoo provides family-friendly wildlife viewing opportunities year-round. Additionally, five nearby National Park Service sites offer outdoor recreation and scenic landscapes within accessible driving distance.
Many visitors find it convenient to purchase a multi-attraction city pass that bundles several popular destinations into a single ticket.
