How do I choose which attractions to visit?

Once you have your pass, open the Go City app or visit the digital guidebook to browse the full list of included attractions. You select and redeem each experience as you go — there is no need to commit to a fixed list at the time of purchase.

Can I visit both San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park on the same pass?

No. The Explorer Pass covers either San Diego Zoo or San Diego Zoo Safari Park, but not both. You will need to choose one when you redeem that experience.

Do I need to print anything?

No. The pass is entirely digital. Download the Go City app, sign in, and your pass will be available to scan directly from your phone at each venue.

When does the pass start and how long is it valid?

Your pass activates on the date of your first redemption. Validity duration varies by pass type — check the Go City app or your booking confirmation for the specific window that applies to your chosen option.

Do I need to pre-book time slots at each attraction?

Some attractions require advance reservations, which you can make directly through the Go City app at no extra cost. It is worth checking availability for popular venues like the San Diego Zoo before you travel.

What if an attraction is closed on the day I want to visit?

Closure policies and opening hours vary by venue. Check each attraction's schedule through the Go City app in advance, and contact Go City customer support if you need to make alternative arrangements.
