Great value!
Well worth the money! My husband and I had gone to Boston 17 years ago but we didn't tour everything because of the cost. This time we got the pass and we did so much more! It was very convenient and gave us a lot of options of things to do. The only thing is that I wish we had an option to do the Boston Tea Party Museum and maybe another Hop on Hop Off Tour option. We took advantage of Boston's public transportation system and visited other locations because of our pass. We got to see more. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Hello, We are truly grateful for your review and sincerely appreciate your kind words. Your feedback is extremely important to us, as it helps us continue to improve and provide a more enjoyable experience for our customers. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed using the Go City pass. We look forward to serving you again in the near future. Warm Regards, Go City

Great time and great value! Easy to use’
It was great! Just wish the aquarium was still part of this experience.
Response from the operator: Hello, We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as it motivates us to continuously improve and provide the best possible service. We hope to serve you again in the future. Warm Regards, Go City

Not enough premium attraction options.
They need to bring back premium attractions to include. The value is not the same anymore and it is not as appealing as it once was without the option of the New England Aquarium. Many years ago, the Duck Boat tour was also an option. Perhaps they could partner with Codzilla. The inclusive pass offers a lot of educational and cultural options, but nothing exceptionally "fun" for teens. View Boston is disappointing and needs more interesting exhibits and things to see (besides the view!). The TD Garden tour is frequently unavailable due to the summer concert schedule and the Sports Museum Tour sells out quickly and does not reserve any extra spaces for Go City pass holders. City Pass holders should be able to reserve on the website ahead of time just as well do for other tours. I also think it is unfair to make the gratuity obligatory for groups on the True Crime tour.
Response from the operator: Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the attraction selection, availability, and booking process. We offer a wide range of attractions and experiences designed to suit different interests, preferences, and budgets, and we understand that every traveller has different expectations when choosing a pass.

Check what tours are included
I was a bit perturbed that it was advertised to include Boston tea party tour, and New England aquarium. When I ordered I then realized these experiences were not included. I should’ve looked closer. Had I realize this I may have ordered from a different company where these would have been included.
Response from the operator: Hello There, We really appreciate your feedback and it will be used to help identify gaps and improve our service. It is great to hear that you enjoyed using the pass from Go City. We hope to serve you in near future. Regards, Go City

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Boston.
How much does Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Boston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Boston is not rushed.
Is Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 365 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Boston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo?
+
Around 128 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Boston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Boston and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Boston Pass: 40+ Things To Do - Includes Franklin Park Zoo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Boston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Boston?
+
Boston is compact enough that a good walking guide beats any bus. Freedom Trail walks, harbour cruises, Fenway tours and whale-watch runs out to Stellwagen Bank are the core, plus Salem and Cape Cod as day trips. Outty Ranking weights guide storytelling and group size heavily, because on the Freedom Trail the narration is the entire product. On Outty we rank every Boston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Full Revolutionary Story Epic Small-Group Boston Walking Tour, Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour, Boston's Freedom Trail: A Revolutionary Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Boston?
+
May to October. Whale watching runs roughly April through October only. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Boston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
