How Does the Go Chicago Card Work?

TLT is a Go Chicago Card affiliate. If you purchase a Go Chicago Card we’ll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

There are three ways to save on Chicago attractions with the Go Chicago Card. You can purchase the All-Inclusive Pass, which is a good option when you’ve got a specific number of days to visit.

You can get the Explorer Pass, which is great for locals or if you want to break up your visits to attractions with other activities.

There’s also a Build-Your-Own Pass if you know exactly which attractions you want to see.

Go Chicago Card All-Inclusive Pass

Seahorse at the Shedd Aquarium

This pass offers the biggest savings. It’s also the only pass that includes admission to the Shedd Aquarium.

You buy your pass in 1-, 2-, 3-, or 5-day increments. You can buy it at any time and once you use the pass at your first attraction the countdown begins. Then you’ll use need to use your Go Chicago Card within the number of days you purchased.

For example, if you purchase a 3-day pass on June 1 and start using it on August 1, you can use it through August 3. You can see as many attractions as you can fit into your schedule during that time. You’ll save up to 55% with this option.

Go Chicago Card Explorer Pass

With the Explorer Pass you choose the number of attractions instead of the number of days.

You can select three or five options and you’ll have thirty days to visit them after your first attraction visit. With this option you’ll save up to 40%.

Go Chicago Card Build Your Own

For the most flexibility create your own Go Chicago Card. You pick only the places you know you want to visit. Choose two or more and you’ll automatically save 20%.
