Essentially, CityPass is a ticket booklet similar to those large coupon booklets that were fairly popular years ago. By purchasing a CityPass booklet you receive admission to various attractions in and around the Houston area, including actual tickets, need-to-knows to plan your trip, directions, and ideal visiting times. (Also, “CityPass ticket holders also avoid most ticket queues,” which is always good.)
