Hi.
You have 30 days from the first use to visit the other attractions, so it’s excellent for locals or those in town for a long vacation.There are dozens of attractions included in this program, but here’s a selection of the most popular to give you an idea of what’s available.Other attractions include things like additional tours, zoos, bike rentals, and adult-friendly activities like an Escape Room. For places like the Shedd and This post has been removed at the author's request. Otherwise, it’s pretty comparable to the Chicago CityPASS in price and in the travel style it encourages (with the exception that the Chicago Explorer Pass also offers products in increments of 3 and 4 attractions).
The passes also provide certain benefits, such as skipping the line for some attractions. This can be especially helpful if your other Chicago plans involve theater tickets, shopping, and extensive culinary explorations. Both of these Museums need to change their systems to allow a valid voucher to gain entry at the entry stations.
Pricing is different for all of them.
I just wish that the description of the pass was a little more informative on Costco's site!
Also I believe that the Go pass had some pretty strict time restrictions.
Choose any 4 attractions from a list of over 25 with the GO Chicago Explorer e-pass including SkyDeck Chicago, Hop-On Hop-Off 1 Day Bus ticket, The Field Museum, 360 Chicago and more. Keep an eye on their site, and sign up for their e-mails for a discount coupon. The Chicago Explorer Pass is pretty straightforward. An All-Inclusive Pass allows you complete access to visit any of that city's attractions for a certain number of days, and an Explorer Pass allows you to choose the number of attractions you wish to visit over a 30 day period.
Has anyone used this pass specifically? You can use your Smartphone vs the printed voucher. Pick the big-ticket items like the Grand Tour (about $50) and the Art Institute of Chicago ($35).
Both options allow you the flexibility to choose as you go. I did try to search the forum and I found a post about the Go card and the CityPass.

There are plenty of different itineraries you could craft with a Chicago Explorer Pass, but here are a couple of examples to get you thinking.The passes start at about $80 for three attractions for an adult traveler and $50 for a child visiting the same number of attractions. If you choose the 5-attraction pass but only see 4 things, you don’t get your money’s worth with the product.The Chicago Explorer Pass is a good choice for those who want a more leisurely vacation style.
These direct purchases are $80, so $10 savings per … that price would have to include a foot massage before we would pay the freight!Note: If you pass on Skydeck, then there are many "other" options for the Costco Explorer!The Art Institute requires you to stand in a direct ticket line (hello?..you already have a ticket), using your voucher/smartphone to get actual Art Institute tickets. You can save up to 40% on combined admission prices, and pay nothing at the gate.
The Chicago Explorer Pass is great if you don’t want to see a lot, but not helpful if you do. Your Go Chicago pass gives you access to many more attractions in Chicago Located in the 875 N. Michigan building, 360 CHICAGO is one for those with a head for heights.
