Very Nice Experience
It was wonderful to go to these places, if you have straight days to enjoy the city pass it's a very nice choice.

Good value
Good value for what you get...but a small heads up...skip the aquarium. It is lame and literally took us about 30 minutes to go through the whole thing. I'd have been real upset had I paid full price for it.

We have great time, except for some issues with the hotel security. Someone broken our truck early in the morning so we had to return to our house early because we can close properly the truck bad experience
