  • Download your Go Philadelphia Explorer pass onto the Go City mobile app and use it right from your phone. Alternatively, you can print your pass at home from your confirmation email.

Once you have your pass, you're all set. All you have to do is present your Go Philadelphia Explorer pass to be scanned at each attraction and you're in.
Visit your top 3, 4, 5 or 7 attractions easily – there's no need to pay at the gate, they’re all included.
