Complete guide to Toronto attraction passes and deals — CityPASS breakdown, what's included, how much you save, tour booking platforms compared, and when to buy individual tickets.
For first-time visitors who plan to visit 4+ of Toronto's main attractions, CityPASS delivers genuine savings — typically 30–46% vs buying individual tickets. It includes CN Tower, Casa Loma, Toronto Zoo, Ripley's Aquarium, and the Royal Ontario Museum. If you're visiting for 2+ days and want a structured introduction to the city's major attractions, it's worth the math. For shorter stays or if you'd only visit 2–3 attractions, buy individually.
Toronto CityPASS (as of 2025/26) includes admission to: CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, Casa Loma, Toronto Zoo, and the Royal Ontario Museum. Some pass tiers offer choice between attractions. The pass is valid for 9 days from first use and includes line-skipping access at most venues.
Always. Walk-up ticket prices at CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, and Casa Loma are almost always higher than advance purchase prices. For popular attractions in peak summer, advance booking also guarantees entry at a specific time — without it, you may face a long queue.
For sold-out or last-minute Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, or concert tickets, StubHub and TickPick are the most reliable secondary markets. Prices fluctuate — Raptors and Leafs tickets can be expensive, but weeknight games and less prominent matchups often have below-face-value resale tickets. Buy earlier in the week for weekend games.
