Sacramento 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 is known for its museums, historic sites, landmarks, and art museums that reflect its rich Gold Rush heritage and role in California's development. With a metro area population of approximately 2.5 million, Sacramento serves as a cultural hub for the region. Nearby, visitors can also explore eight National Park Service sites, providing additional outdoor and historical experiences within easy reach.
Many of Sacramento's top attractions can be visited using a multi-attraction city pass, which bundles several sites into a single ticket for added convenience. Rather than purchasing individual admission tickets, a city pass allows visitors to access multiple museums, historic locations, and landmarks with one pass. For current pricing, included attractions, and pass terms, visitors should link directly to the official pass provider's website to ensure they have the most up-to-date information before planning their visit.
