The Washington DC Sightseeing Pass

How do I activate my Washington DC Sighseeing Pass?

Once you visit your first Washington D.C. attraction and use your pass for admission, it instantly becomes activated.

Do I have to make reservations at the attractions I intend to visit?

Many, but not all of our attractions do not require reservations. Simply arrive at your chosen attraction and you will be given the next available entry time. Some tours have limited capacities and require a reservation. Remember that making a reservation will not activate your Pass.

How do I use my pass at each attraction?

Just present your digital pass on your mobile phone or printed out pass at the admission desk at each attraction. They will then scan it and you will be set to go. Redemption varies for each attraction. Remember that some attractions have more than one entry point.

How long is the Flex Pass valid for?

Your Sightseeing Flex Pass will be valid for 60 consecutive days from the time it is activated. You have 12 months starting from the date of purchase to activate your pass.

How long is my Day Pass valid for?

Once activated, your Day Pass will expire at midnight on its last valid day. You have 12 months starting from the date of purchase to activate your pass.

Does the Day Pass have any time restriction between visiting each attraction?

Yes, it does. Please wait for at least an hour between each attraction visit because your Day Pass will not grant you access to your next site unless this has been observed.

Can I visit the same attraction more than once?

Unfortunately, no. Passes are only valid at each attraction once.

Can I use my confirmation email to enter attractions?

Unfortunately, no. You need to present either a digital or print-out copy of your Sightseeing Pass to gain entry to attractions and join a tour.
