You will be enlightened and entertained with humorous stories and fascinating facts. For one day your CityPASS gives you the freedom of unlimited on-and-off privileges at 20 stops throughout the day.

Adventure Aquarium:
Be one of the first to touch and feed the gentle resident stingrays of the new Stingray Beach Club. Walk through a 40-foot suspended tunnel, and surround yourself with sharks. Touch sharks, stingrays and jellyfishes. Also available to see in nearly 2 million gallons of water are mysterious sea turtles, friendly penguins and thousands of colorful fishes.

The National Constitution Center:
is America's first and only museum devoted to the constitution and the freedoms that empower us as individuals and as a nation. Opening July 4th, 2003 on Philadelphia's Independence Mall, this contemporary and moving experience includes over 100 interactive and multi-media exhibits, film, photographs, text, sculpture and artifacts to inspire.

Philadelphia Zoo:
Visit America's first Zoo and enjoy the sights and sounds of more than 1800 rare and exotic animals all year long.

Eastern State Penitentiary:
Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, Eastern State Penitentiary was the world's first true penitentiary, a prison designed to inspire penitence in the hearts of criminals. It stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and a surprising, eerie beauty. Tours include Al Capone's cell, Death Row and our critically-acclaimed artist installations.

Please Touch Museum:
Please Touch Museum is the children's museum of Philadelphia. Especially designed for families with young children, the museum features six brand new interactive exhibits, daily activities and theater performances.

Most venues included in the pass have different minimum ages for free entry. It is your choice whether you purchase a pass for children to avoid standing in ticket lines to verify ages and pay admission upon entry. You may purchase a Child Pass for children, however this may not be cost saving.
