We had no problems locating the reception area in the shopping centre to collect the cards. The lady on the desk explained how to make the best use of the cards, in particular the tour bus. This system of purchasing the card prior to our holiday really worked for us, as our sightseeing did not bite into our spending cash.

This was the perfect way to see Chicago! My husband and I got the 2-day passes, and managed to see nearly everything we wanted to see without having to pay any extra money. You definitely get your money's worth with this card, and it's so nice to be able to skip the ticket line at some of the places. Don't miss the architecture cruise--it's an interesting and beautiful ride; we learned so much about Chicago's architecture!

The Go Chicago card MADE my vacation. It made entry to dozens of sites quick and easy. There were so many possible excursions covered by the card that I couldn't do them all! I was able to go to the Art Institute on successive days and still didn't see everything. The Go Chicago card had events covered from the typical, museums, to the sublime, Sears Tower viewing deck, to the comic, Comedy Sportz. It was a most fortunate purchase on my part.

This card was great. We saved about 50-75 by buying it. I was in Chicago for three full days and went to a ton of places with the card. It was easy, we could have skipped lines if there were any and it was much easier to enjoy the attractions with out having to fork over money every time we went into some place. I would buy one again if I went to another city that has one.

I booked the three-day Go Chicago card because it covered most of the things we wanted to do on our four-day trip to the city, and though we spent almost every waking minute from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. running around to the point of exhaustion, we fit almost everything in. While it took a lot of coordination concerning when certain museums opened and closed and how close they were to other things, we were able to see just about everything we wanted for a third of the price. I definitely recommend the card if it covers what you want to do, you have some time to plan the trip, and you have the energy to run around. If we had been in town longer I would have gotten the five-day card, which would definitely give you the time to see everything without as much running around although. I would also recommend staying in downtown Chicago since that's where most of the destinations are located, and you cannot make reservations all at once: you must book your tours at the Palmer House Hilton each day.

Love Chicago would do it again. The card was worth the money, especially not having to pull your wallet out all the time.

It was ok, but I don't think one saves money with this if a thorough tour of the museums is planned. There's not enough time for more - a tribute to the museums.

The weather was horrendous the weekend we were in Chicago, so we could not use the cards to their full potential. The boat tours had stopped due to a flood alert on the river, and other attractions had poor visibility. So by the time we were told an attraction was closed, there was very little time to do other things on that day. If we had not had the back end of Hurricane Ike, the card would have worked very well and been worth it.

Was definitely worth it.

The Go Chicago Card was the way to go! We probably saved over 200. The only thing was you felt rushed to get everything in with the one day pass. Another great thing to get around Chicago cheaper and easier is to buy a two day visitor transit pass for cheap, under 15.00 that allows you to ride unlimited bus, train, and subway. We had a great time in Chicago and will return someday when it isn't so hot!

The Go Chicago Card provides one stop shopping for busy weekend visitors. It included all the venues and tours we were hoping to take in and shopping discounts were an added bonus.

The line for the Shedd Aquarium had over 200 people in it. With the Go Card, we moved to the front and got in immediately without waiting. Just make sure you get on the correct on and off bus "The Big Banana".

Worth the one week pass but not the two or three day.
