Tampa Bay is the latest destination to partner with City Pass, the company that packages discounted, prepaid admission to a city or region’s top attractions. Beginning Tuesday, May 20, Sunshine State travelers can purchase a Tampa Bay CityPASS® ticket booklet and save 38 percent off admission to Busch Gardens® Tampa, The Florida Aquarium, Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the pass holder’s choice between the Chihuly Collection presented by the Morean Arts Center or the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI).
Each 2014 Tampa Bay CityPASS ticket booklet will retail for $119 for adults, $99 for children age 3-9. Passes, which can be purchased online at CityPASS.com or at any of the CityPASS partner attractions, are valid for nine consecutive days, beginning with the first day of use.
