People are making their plans for eBay Live! in Boston. Lots of questions involve hotels and things to see in Boston. The hotel info will be coming soon, but I have found something now that really stands out as a great deal. I was skeptical at first, but then found some reviews which convinced me I found a good deal.
What I found is called the "Go Boston Card".
What is a Go Card?
It’s a credit card sized card that you carry which includes admission to the Boston area’s most popular attractions. You do not need to pre-purchase tickets, deal with the hassle of tear-out coupons, or carry cash.
Here's how you use it.
- Go to a participating attractions
, restaurant, or shop.
- Present your Go Boston Card.
- You are granted general admission at the attraction (no cash changes hands) or get a discount automatically.
It's that easy.
You pay one price for the Go Boston Card. Your price is determined by whether you choose a single day, or 2, 3, 5, or 7 day increments. The card is activated the first time you use it. It’s valid for the number of consecutive calendar days you’ve purchased.
I found reviews of the card on www.boston.citysearch.com and all rated the card as "Highly Recommended".
The comments say it better than I could:
the go boston card was worth it
Posted by crystal32 on 06/15/2006I wish I would have known about these Go Cards when my fiancee and I visited Chicago, I thought it was much easier than paying for each attraction. We ordered the card off the website and picked it up in the city. The girls helping us at the desk were extremly friendly and printed up directions from our hotel to the grayline booth so we could pick up our Trolley hop passes. We toured the entire city, got off at whatever stop we wanted--saw some attractions with the Go Boston card then got on the trolley again. We also used the card at Mike's Pastry's in the north end $5 dollars off. I liked how the guidebook told you T directions, and had colored pages of the attractions so you knew where you were going! We probably saved around 50$ each using our 5-day Go Boston Card and I liked that the card also included things to do in Salem. We went to the Salem Witch Museum and the Peabody Museum all on the card.
* Pros: free guidebook, good attractions
* Cons: duck tours sometimes sell out early but that's no
* Overall user rating: Highly Recommended
what a neat idea for travelers
Posted by acorn75 on 01/27/2006my husband got this for our anniversary trip to new england, at first I kind of rolled my eyes because it seemed like we wouldn't be able to enjoy all those attractions on the list, but surprisingly most of the attractions were close together, we got to try new things including a whale watch which i had never been on, and it was really the best thing for us because we weren't constantly counting our money or turning to a credit card.
* Pros: easy to use, cheap, lots of attractions
* Overall user rating: Highly Recommended
Go Boston Card is great for families
Posted by mauimamma on 11/02/2005I really loved using this product, I had a wonderful experience during my recent trip to Boston this summer. The card worked just like they said it would, and it saved us time and effort worrying about paying for all the attractions. Since we'd already payed for the attractions we wanted to see, I saved lots of money plus I got to skip ahead of a few lines (which was really helpful at the aquarium--the line was really long) I think this product is great for someone new to a city--it came with a guidebook and the people at the redemption center were very friendly, too* Cons: Great deal, Lots of Attractions, Deals on shopping
* Overall user rating: Highly Recommended
I liked the idea so much I signed up as an affiliate and if you'd like you can order the card here. The idea of saving money by planning ahead sounds great to me. I love the idea of (legally) jumping ahead in line thanks to having the Go Boston Card. I'll be getting one for my wife and myself. I knew you'd like it too. See you at the front of the line in Boston!
