CityPASS is adding two new cities to its attraction-bundle lineup this week, letting families in Boston and Houston save up to 45% and 51% respectively by bundling top attractions instead of buying single tickets. If you're already familiar with CityPASS from recent weeks, the real news is the geographic expansion, and it isn't the only family deal worth grabbing this week.
City attraction passes for multiple cities
CityPASS now covers six metro areas, each with year-round validity and child-ticket pricing included. Boston bundles attractions at up to 45% off, while Houston hits 51% savings on its top-tier package. If you're visiting multiple attractions in a single city over a few days, bundling beats buying at the gate; the trade-off is that you commit to a specific set of venues rather than picking and choosing on the fly. Dallas and Chicago remain live with up to 56% and 50% off respectively, and Orlando's multi-park bundle still anchors families hitting Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld in the same trip.
All-inclusive resorts at 60–65% off
All-inclusive Caribbean stays are discounted up to 65% through both the Caribbean Affiliate Program and Apple Vacations, with no stated travel window or expiration. RIU Hotels & Resorts properties cap out at 60% off via Apple Vacations. These deals suit families who want meals, drinks, and activities included and don't mind forfeiting the flexibility of booking à la carte. Book now if you're eyeing a late fall or winter beach trip; all-inclusive inventory tightens as the peak season approaches.
Theme park discounts and short-term steals
Xcaret parks offer 25% off child tickets through January 1, 2027, giving families in Cancun and Riviera Maya a standing discount on multiple park days. A separate Xcaret promotion tops out at 20% off and runs through October 16, so stack the longer-running 25% child deal and skip the expiring one. Discovery Cove day-resort packages save up to $58 for families seeking a slower pace, and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets are $10 cheaper when booked through select resellers.
