York City Pass Access more than 35+ Attractions & Hop On Hop Off

Great value if you plan ahead to maximise your time... :)

So i got these two 2 day Adult passes in the Xmas sale in 2025.. I think with the discount i paid around £170 in total. I had previously used the York Pass in 2019 and saved i think around £70-£80 from what i remember. This time i used the passes as part of a road trip so set off on day 1 of the pass from Whitby and went to the lovely Castle Howard and York Air Museum. I decided against going into York on day 1 as it was around 4-5pm when i left the Museum. I sadly didnt quite have time this time to go on the North York Moors steam train which i think is the most expensive attraction on the pass. Day 2 i got the park and ride after leaving my hotel at Sandburn Hall outside of York with the intention of doing a full day in York mainly using the pass (though i did find time to visit a couple of pubs too and have tea at another before leaving) I went 1st to York Minster in the morning spent a couple of hours in there. amazing place then planned it so i walked thru the City Centre minimising my walking times to fit in as many places as possible. I then went to the Jorvik Centre and the Van Gogh experience before then walking a short distance to Clifford Tower and the excellent York Castle Museum which are opposite each other. I finished off with a 5 minute walk and was lucky to just get the River Cruise before it left. an excellent way to finish the day relaxing on the boat with a drink in the sun. I probably had time to go to the York Army Museum which i saw on my walk back to the P&R bus near the Shambles but was a little tired and happy with how much i used my pass. I reckoned all these attractions would have cost just under £300 so still saved £110-£120 on the pass making it well worth it. As i said for people good at planning a day time wise and efficiently and who are reasonably mobile you can get alot out of the pass. I had to book the Jorvik and river cruise but had a great day 2 after a more sedate day 1 outside of York. No issues using the pass either :)
