Sightsee San Francisco your way and save up to 57% on attraction ticket prices with the Go San Francisco Explorer Pass. 

Choose your favourite 2, 3, 4 or 5 attractions from a list of over 25. Discover an entire universe under a 2.5-acre living roof at the California Academy of Sciences, sail between the Golden Gate and Bay bridges on a sightseeing cruise, see the sights aboard a hop-on hop-off bus tour, or go carbon-neutral with a bike rental - the choice is yours! 

The Go San Francisco Explorer pass includes:

  • Your choice of 2, 3, 4 or 5 attractions from a list of 25+.
  • Top activities including sightseeing cruises, and hop-on hop-off bus tour.
  • Popular attractions including California Academy of Sciences.
  • Digital pass and guidebook – use on mobile device or print at home.
  • Valid for 60 days from first attraction visit.
  • How it works:
  • Pick a 2, 3, 4, or 5 choice Explorer pass.
  • Download your Go San Francisco 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 San Francisco Explorer pass to be scanned at each attraction and you're in. Visit your top 2, 3, 4, or 5 attractions easily – there's no need to pay at the gate, they’re all included.
  • Visiting your first attraction activates your pass. Your pass will then be valid for 60 days from activation. For example, if you have a three-choice Explorer pass and visit your first attraction, you can take up to 59 consecutive days to visit your remaining two attractions.
  • There is no need to choose which attractions you'd like to see before you purchase the card, you can pick and choose any of the Explorer attractions as you go. This allows you to change your mind and wait and see what you feel like in the moment.
