FAQ

Q: When does my product become activated?
A: Your product becomes activated the moment you use it at your first participating location.

Q: Is a 1-day product good for a calendar day or for 24 hours?
A: The products are valid for specific calendar days, and not for 24 hour periods. A 1-day product ends when the last participant closes, or midnight if a participant is open later than that, on the day you first use it. So, if you start late in the afternoon, you only have until midnight that night at the latest to enjoy your passes.

Q: Is there a limit to how many attractions I can visit in one day?
A: No. There is no daily limit. You can visit as many of the participating attractions as you choose.

Q: Can I visit the same attraction twice in one day?
A: You may visit each attraction only once per day.

Q: I am staying in Washington DC for one day. Can I purchase a 2-day Washington DC product, use it one day and come back again in six months to use the other day I have left?
A: No, multi-day products are only good on consecutive days. The moment you use your product it becomes activated and starts counting down its valid period for the purchased life of the pass - 1, 2, 3 or 5 consecutive days. It will expire at midnight on the last valid day.

Q: Do I have to use a multiple day product on consecutive days or can I pick and choose which days I would like to use it?
A: Your products are only valid for consecutive days. For example, if you purchase a two-day pass, and use it for the first time on Monday, it will then expire at midnight on the next day, Tuesday.

Q: What if I lose my card?
A: We are not responsible for lost or stolen passes. Please be sure to put the pass in a safe place upon receipt. Try to note the unique number on your card. If you know that number, we can check your card to make sure it has not been used. Once non-use is confirmed, you will be instructed on how to get a replacement card.

Q: Can I purchase a product valid for only one customer to share with a friend at the same participating locations?
A: Each product is valid for 1 individual only and you may only visit each participant once per day, so sharing the product with a friend at the same location on the same day is not possible. If you use your card at an attraction and try to pass that same card to your friend to use, the reader will reject your second attempt and admission will not be granted.

Q: Is there a difference between the 1, 2, 3 or 5 day passes in which attractions are included in the products?
A: No - the same participants are included the 1, 2, 3 and 5 day options.

Q: What ages are eligible for a children's product?
A: A children's card can be purchased for any child age 12 and under. Children under the age of 2 may not need to purchase a pass as some locations will let them in without charging admission. We recommend passes for all children aged 2 and up.

Q: What happens if a location is closed due to poor weather conditions?
A: Please note that some participants may be closed, or tours canceled, at any time due to poor weather conditions.

Transportation is NOT included to any of the attractions. Child price is for ages 2 to 12. Please reserve online, or call us toll-free at 888-878-9870.
