Save Money on Vacation: Sightseeing Pass • Off the Rock Adventures
Save Money on Vacation: Sightseeing Pass
Saving money on vacation – it’s a goal for most people, right? Trips can cost SO. MUCH. MONEY!
To start with there’s:
- Flights (or fuel for road trips)
- Hotel or other accommodations (gotta sleep somewhere!)
- Transportation (I know my feet don’t last long enough!)
- Food (kinda necessary, right?)
Are you having flashbacks of expensive trips you’ve taken?
And I haven’t even mentioned shows and attractions yet!
Stressful, right?
It doesn’t have to be. There ARE ways to save money on vacation.
The Sightseeing Pass is just one possible way.
Scroll down for an honest review of the Sightseeing Pass so you can see if it will fit your needs and help you have the best vacation!

WHAT IT IS
A Sightseeing Pass is a virtual ticket to tons of attractions in any given destination.
For example, if you’re going to New York City, you might want to see the following:
- The Statue of Liberty
- One World Observatory
- 9/11 Memorial and Museum
- National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey
- New York Botanical Garden
And a bunch more, right? There is so much to see in NYC!
With this pass, you won’t have to purchase admission to each of these attractions individually.
You just purchase a pass for each person and they use that pass as their entry ticket to each attraction. It can either be printed or easily pulled up on your cell phone.
In addition, some locations even have discounts on restaurants, shops, theatre tickets, rental cars, and more!

There are two types of passes you can purchase depending on your needs and your budget – The Flex Pass and the Day Pass*:
THE FLEX PASS
With this pass, you choose how many attractions you would like to visit. There are plenty of options (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, or 12 attractions*).
It’s a great idea if you have a very limited time for sightseeing or are visiting a place you’ve already been to and only have a few attractions in mind.
Once you use the pass for your first attraction, you will have 30 days to use up the remainder of attractions on your pass. Once you’ve used up the amount of attractions your pass is good for, your pass is done.
Which brings me to the beauty of the day pass!
THE DAY PASS
This pass is good for a set number of days (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 10 days*) and has NO LIMIT on the amount of attractions you can see in those days.
So, if you have 3 days in New York City and purchase a 3-day Day Pass, you can see as many of the 100+ attractions you can in those 3 days (and NYC was surprisingly easy to get around in using the subway so you can see a LOT in 3 days).
*Please note that not all options are available for every destination. Be sure to see what’s available for the specific vacation destination you have in mind.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PASS
We recently used the Sightseeing Pass to save money on vacations to New York City and Orlando, Florida.
We saved some money on one both trips and I’ll show you exactly how much here:
NEW YORK CITY
We purchased the 2-day Day Pass since we were on a short trip, but wanted to see as much as we possibly could.
Our cost for the Sightseeing Pass:
- 4 adults x $151.20 ($189.00 with 20% sale discount) = $604.80
- Ripley’s Believe it or Not – $29.95 x 4 adults = $119.80
- Nat Geo Encounter: Ocean Odyssey – $39.50 x 4 adults = $158.00
- Hop On / Hop Off Bus tour – $59.00 x 4 adults = $236.00
- Buca di Beppo – 20% off our dinner bill of $145.00 = $29.00 (I don’t think they offer this specific discount anymore)
- Buffalo Wild Wings – Free lunch – $17.50 x 4 adults = $70.00
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art (this was closed for an event when we arrived, but I’m including it because we spent the time getting to it and would have toured it) $25.00 x 4 adults = $100.00
- Dylan’s Candy Bar – 15% off our purchase of $60.00 = $9.00
Total savings of $117.00
ORLANDO
We purchased the 3-attraction Flex Pass since we already had other plans in the area and didn’t have much time for other things.
Our cost for the 3-day Flex Pass:
4 adults x $69.30 (30% off regular price of $99.00) = $277.20
- The Escape Game – $37.26 x 4 adults = $149.04
- Wild Florida – Air boat and Wildlife Park admission – $30.10 x 4 adults = $120.40
- The Escape Game (yes, we did this twice!) – $37.26 x 4 adults = $149.04
Total savings of $141.28
HOW WE COULD HAVE SAVED EVEN MORE
NEW YORK
We spent $604.80 for our passes and ended up saving money, but not as much as we could have. We went to NYC on our 15-month RV road trip across the country and didn’t take into account the fact that we might be too tired to do as much as we wanted with the pass.
Sadly, that’s what happened. If we had done the other things we wanted to (and, yes, we definitely had time for them), we would have saved even more.
Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island – $18.50 x 4 adults = $74.00
Escape Game New York – $41.99 x 4 adults = $167.96
SPYSCAPE – $42.46 x 4 adults = $169.84
We could have saved an additional $411.80 if we would have done these other 3 things (ouch, I’m really wishing I didn’t have to look at those numbers!)
If you want to find out why we left Hawai’i to RV across the country, find out more here!
ORLANDO
In Orlando we could’ve saved a lot more money if we had done these 3 things instead. We mainly bought the pass because we wanted to do the air boat ride so we could have arranged things a little differently to maximize our savings (instead, we furthered our addiction to escape rooms – more on that in another post).
Pirates Dinner Adventure – $73.43 x 4 adults = $293.72
Helicopter Sightseeing Tour – $59.00 x 4 adults = $236.00
If we would had done these 2 things and the air boat, we would have ended up saving $372.92 instead of $141.28.
So, you can see that it’s important to see what your main attractions are going to be so that you can see if the cost of the attractions would be more than the cost of the pass.

THE USA PASS
If you’re going to be going on vacation and visiting multiple destinations, then the USA Sightseeing Pass may be for you!
You can visit 15, 20, 25, or 30 attractions in 13 USA destinations. These include New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Miami, New Orleans, Orlando, Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, Key West, Los Angeles, Smoky Mountains, Nashville, and San Francisco. The pass is good for 30 days from the first date you use it.
It’s great for road trips to multiple cities (one of our favorite activities)!
FUN EXTRAS
I mentioned this before, but it’s definitely worth mentioning again.
If you are a Sightseeing Pass holder, you can get discounts at restaurants in the destination you’re visiting (sometimes even free lunches!).
You can also get discounts at shopping locations and sometimes you’ll get free gifts if you spend a certain dollar amount.
The website even has downloadable PDF guides to most of their locations with maps and guides to the attractions you can visit.
And they even have suggested itineraries to help you save the most money on your vacation!

MY OVERALL OPINION
We’re still happy with purchasing the Sightseeing Pass even though we didn’t end up saving as much money as we could have. Any money we save on vacation is awesome, so we’re happy!
As I’ve shown, however, be sure to look at the attractions you want to visit and weigh that against the price of the pass. There’s usually a good chance you’ll save money on your vacation!
Just be sure to take into account the costs of all your desired attractions and try to buy a pass when they’re offering a discount to save the most money on your vacation. Especially because there are a few of their passes that don’t offer as many attractions (luckily most of them have a bunch!).
And you have 12 months to activate your Sightseeing Pass so you can definitely buy them in advance!

And my opinion on which city’s pass is the best? New York City for sure! There are over 100 ways you can use your pass there.
And you can take multiple Hop-On Hop-Off Tours when your feet are sore. But, all of the cities do have fun options!

Campground Shower Mishaps
One of the questions I am asked frequently is “Where do you use the bathroom and take a shower?” First, I usually explain that we have a bathroom in our camper. It has a sink, toilet, and shower that even has a tub (not that any of us could comfortably “bathe” in it, but it’s there). I explain that we can definitely shower in it and that it’s not too bad, except that the hot water tank isn’t huge and we sometimes have to take military showers. Then, if there’s time, I will tell them some stories about my mishaps in campground bathrooms.
When we started full-time RV living, we had my youngest brother, Isaiah, and our nephew, Kawika, with us. So at the first campground we stayed at, Kawika took his shower necessities and went to check out the men’s bathroom. He came back and raved that the shower was awesome and it was so great to use a real shower. Naturally, I decided that I needed to see for myself.
Later that day, I get everything ready – my towel, my soap, my clothes, etc. I walk across the campground to the shower house and see that it’s actually a pretty neat setup. The stall has a separate area to keep your clothes in so you can change in a dry spot when you’re done. The shower portion of the stall has a shelf for my toiletries and it’s a decent sized shower. Nice!
I proceed to shower. Now, this is going to sound pretty dumb, but I started feeling like my feet were pretty wet. Yes, I know I’m in the shower and my feet are going to be wet, but I’m talking about an immersed in water kind of wet. I look down and… yay, my feet are immersed in water. In a shower that has been used by who knows how many people since it was last cleaned. On tile that I have no idea how well it’s been cleaned. Yuck. I start playing with the drain cover with my toe to see if I can get it to drain. No such luck. I finish up quickly and turn off the shower. After I changed, I glanced back to the shower and noticed it still hadn’t drained. I had effectively turned the shower into a shallow bath. Nothing I did seemed to fix it so I walked back to our camper and reported to the boys about my poor shower experience. They, of course, thought it was funny… and gross!
That shower catastrophe happened in Arizona. Our next stop was in Moab, Utah. Kawika again was our campground shower guinea pig. He came back and raved again about the awesome showers. The boys, again, all had good shower experiences. Then, again, it was my turn.
It’s 10:30 P.M. so there’s no one in there. I think, “Score!” The bathroom is huge and the shower stalls are large and have the separate changing area. Again, “score!” So, since no one was waiting and I didn’t have to take a military shower, I decided I would take the extra time to shave and wash my hair. I’m in the shower, with no water pooling at my feet, and that’s great. It’s nice and quiet in the bathroom, just me and my thoughts, and I’m lathering up my hair. That’s when the lights go out and now it’s not only quiet, it’s pitch dark, too. That’s alright, I’m calm. I walk into the changing section of my stall, hoping that would trip the sensor. Nope. I put my towel on and open the door and wave my arm around. That worked. Okay, whatever, back to the shower.
I’m back in the shower, alone with my thoughts again, when the lights turn off yet again. At this point, I’m still calm, but I can’t help thinking that this is totally the scene in the horror movie where the white girl is about to die. It makes me giggle, which is better than the frustration I’m feeling at having to wander back out of the stall to trip the sensor again. I finish up my shower and start changing into my clothes and the lights turn off again. I didn’t even bother trying to turn the light back on. I just finished changing and walked outside to Dave who had been patiently waiting for me and had no idea I was inside auditioning for a horror film.
I haven’t had any other shower experiences quite like that one, but I do tend to shower in our camper for the most part. It’s still more convenient than loading up the toiletries and clothes to change in to, walking to the campground bathroom, and then…walking right back because I forgot my towel. Oh well – it’s all part of the adventure!
RV Living: 9 things learned in our first 9 days • Off the Rock Adventures
RV Living: 9 things learned in our first 9 days
July, 2018
When we first thought of trying out RV living, we knew there were going to be a lot of things we were going to have to learn. We had never towed something that large and knew that would be a whole new experience on its own.
Added to that was the fact that we were going to be driving to a lot of places, most of which we have never been to, and all of them we’d never been to pulling 30 feet of camper behind us!
But, hey, why not? It’s all an adventure. So we did it anyway and I’m going to share the top nine things we’ve learned in our first nine days.
1. RV’ers are an overall friendly group of people.
We haven’t been doing this very long and already we’ve had lots of interesting conversations with people. We’ve talked about places we’ve been, where we grew up, where we should go, etc.
Sadly, there are some places where you can’t even smile and say hello to people anymore without getting a weird look, but an RV park doesn’t seem to be one of those places.
We smile and say hello to people all the time and they usually do the same. That’s the way it should be!
Sadly, there are some places where you can’t even smile and say hello to people anymore without getting a weird look, but an RV park doesn’t seem to be one of those places. Click To Tweet
2. Something really is always broken.
When we were doing research on RV living, I came across a blog post that mentioned that there’s always something broken on your RV.
Well, we’ve already experienced that. It was the day after we left the dealership (of course) and we were already a couple states away so we couldn’t just drive back and have them fix it.
We’ve replaced our bathroom door handle, fixed a drawer that bottomed out on us, and fixed the pull handle on our grey tank.
Something really is always broken in your RV! Click To Tweet3. Your battery doesn’t power your outlets.
Sorry, teenagers, but if we’re boondocking without our generator, no charged cell phones for you! Lucky for them, we decided to buy a generator so we should always be able to use our outlets, but it came as a bit of a surprise that we wouldn’t be able to do so with just our battery (some RV’s might be different, though!)
4. You really do want to deodorize your toilet after your black tank is dumped.
Oh my, there’s a lovely smell that comes out of your toilet if you don’t use the deodorizer. You’re told about an assortment of cleaners, accessories, filters, etc. at the dealership. It can all make your head spin, especially if you’ve never done anything even remotely close to RV living, like us.
But, trust me, you don’t want to forget to buy toilet deodorizer. And these other things, too!

5. Since we’re on the topic, make sure your toilet bowl is empty before driving.
Does it sound like we learned this the hard way? Yes we did. When you flush, some water goes back into the bowl, like you would think it would.
Well, when you forget to minimize the amount of water that’s in the bowl and go driving for six hours, you can end up with a wet floor.
Luckily it’s all just water, but it’s still a good lesson to have learned.

6. Boondockers Welcome is awesome!
We’ve signed up for a few discount and other RV programs, but haven’t been able to take advantage of them much.
We did use Boondockers Welcome for our first two nights away from the dealership, though, and we loved it!
You just pay an annual fee and you can search for places to stay in areas you will be in. You can stay anywhere from one to five nights, depending on the host, and some of them even have hookups.
We’ve met a few very interesting people just through this program and so far we think it’s great! (Update – I’ve done a review on Boondockers Welcome – we still love it!)
7. Plastic organizational bins are definitely your friend.
Our camper actually has a lot of storage space, which was a high priority on our list. However, a lot of them are somewhat standard cabinets like you have at your house.
But, your house doesn’t go bouncing down the road several times a week, so things generally stay put. With RV living, objects definitely may have shifted during “flight.”
So we’ve joked that we should be buying stock in plastic organizational bins. We’ve got them in all shapes and sizes and we’re still on the lookout for more.

8. You really can bake in the oven!
I love baking and cooking, so having an oven that could fit a 9×13 pan in it was a must-have.
I really wanted brownies one day so I bought a box of brownie mix to test the oven. Well, I was home alone making dinner and decided I would try.
I remembered what they told me at the dealership about how to turn the oven on. Well, I mostly remembered.
So I did what all the RV’ing housewives from the 1950’s would do: I looked up a how-to video on YouTube.
After the video, I still didn’t know what the pilot looked like so I just kept reading about ovens and reached a blog post telling about the potential horrors of using an RV oven and how people often give up and just use it as storage. It mentioned using unglazed tiles in it to distribute the heat.
To my dismay, I didn’t have any tiles just lying around so I decided to skip the baking for that night. Of course when Dave gets home I tell him about what I read, pull up the blog post, and read the very next comment someone had written.
It said they just use a piece of foil to distribute the heat. That was something I did have!
I don’t know what future oven endeavors I will have, but I can say that my first effort was a delicious pan of brownies!

9. We really can do this!
We had no idea what we were getting in to when we decided to embark on our RV living adventure. Sure, we’d done our research, but we had very little experience with any of what we were about to undertake.
Luckily we both have the “go for it” spirit in us and knew that we could figure it out. So far, I think we’re doing a decent job.
I just continue to look forward to all of the wonderful things we’ll see and do while pulling our little house along with us.

It’s amazing how much to learn to RVing. We have thought about doing it too because many of our friends are and they are all having a great time doing so. I think we will stick to traveling by cars, and staying at hotels, resorts, bed and breakfast, and inns. I will share this post with my RVing friends.
Hi Jennifer. Thanks so much for your comment and for your share of my post! Yes, there is definitely a lot to learn, but it was worth it for us. We also like to stay at other fun places sometimes, too, though. Variety is good! Maybe rent an RV sometime to see how you feel about it. Either way, safe travels and have fun!
These are so helpful to know! My husband and I read through these together, as we have been thinking about finding an RV/camper or something to travel around in. I can’t wait to read through your blog more!
Hi Miranda. Thank you so much for your comment. We really love RV living and we did a LOT of research before we jumped in so I’m glad you found my information helpful for your planning. Good luck and I hope you love it!
We live in our RV full time and those plastic tubs are a lifesaver – even when you are stationary! Great way to keep mice and insects out of things. I even have a loaf size container for my bread that I store in one of my kitchen drawers with my spices. Love my plastic tubs!
Hi Natalie! Thanks for your comment. And yes, there are so many uses for plastic containers with RV living. We have plastic containers, baskets, etc. everywhere! Travel safely!
Thanks for all the info! We are planning on hitting the road in an RV in about 1 year, were getting our house finished up (remodeled) and will probably rent it out for a year. We are basically going to spend a year on the road and figure out where we want to be for good. We are very lucky that I work from home and the hubby travels the biggest part of the year so we are very flexible. I subscribe to your Blog and look forward to reading about your adventures
Thanks, Nikki! That’s exciting! I remember being in the planning stages so I know how it is to be planning such an adventure. We decided to go on our journey for similar reasons. We know where we’re going to settle for a while, but we now have backup places that we love. Good luck to you and thank you for subscribing!
I have no idea what RV life is like, but I do know I love the tiny house concept. My husband wants to convert an ambulance in the next few years into a liveable vehicle so we can travel across Europe in it without the expensive lodging. Your blog sounds really interesting!
Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for your comment. I love your ambulance idea! We love RV life, but we want to live in a tiny house someday, too. Sometimes I miss the “homey” feel!
Planning the Big Move
So… here’s a post I wrote over a year ago. Since my blog is only now up and running completely, it’s still going on the site…it’s just kind of past tense now – but, still valid!
May, 2018
We’re doin’ it, guys! We’re moving!
We’ve wanted to move for a while so we can get out there and see more of the world. The timing was never quite right, but now here we go! To prepare, we’ve been learning to live with less and it has been amazing. I never realized how much “stuff” stressed me out, but having too much stuff really does seem to have an effect on my well being. If I walk in to my house and see clutter, it overwhelms my brain. Luckily, Dave and I are similar in that area so we’ve been having fun (well, mostly fun) getting rid of the clutter together. How did we do this? The minimalist challenge.
For the month of March, we each got rid of 1 thing on March 1st, 2 things on March 2nd, and so on for the entire month. You can get rid of anything: clothes, shoes, books, etc. It just has to be trashed, sold, or donated by the end of each day. Since we knew we’d be doing a moving sale soon, we just relocated items we were going to sell into a “garage sale box.” We even got a couple friends in on the challenge and they did great, too! It starts off really easy, but it gets more difficult as the days go by. It becomes a fun challenge wandering around the house asking yourself “do I actually NEED this?” The answer usually is “Nope!”
It was hilarious because Dave started with getting rid of clothing. We got to the 10th of the month and I realized he was still getting rid of clothes. That meant he had already thrown away 45 articles of clothing and still had more to get rid of! I have no idea what secret compartment he was keeping those clothes in because I had no idea he was such a clothes horse! For me, I ran around getting rid of random things at first; computer games, the hair dryer I never use, nail polish I bought for some random event, and then clothing. If I wasn’t quite ready to get rid of something, I moved on to something else. My biggest hurdle was my sentimental tendencies.
You know that knick knack you’ve had on your shelf for 15 years, but can’t even remember who got it for you? The one that’s not really your style anymore, but you know whoever bought it for you did so with nice thoughts? Or that shirt from the spelling bee you were in back in 7th grade? The hardest thing for me was getting rid of those kinds of things. I’ve read that you should ask yourself if you can keep the memory without the item so I did that with each one. Honestly, yes, I can keep the memory. Did that make it any easier? Not always. There’s a deep-seated fear I have that I’m insulting the person who gave it to me. I had to get past that by telling myself that the love they showed by giving me the item is still there and the fact that keeping everything just because of my fear was not going to do anything for my minimalist mission and my well being. I have to believe that those who love me would rather support me in my exciting new endeavors rather than know that I have the knick knack they probably don’t even remember they bought me.
At the end of this challenge, you end up getting rid of almost 500 things you don’t even miss. 500 things!!! It’s a crazy number to think about, but it’s true. We humans really know how to accumulate stuff! When I moved out of an 1100 square foot house into a 600 square foot studio, I was surprised at my ability to live with less. In all honesty, it made me happier to not have to clean as much and take care of as much. It made me realize just how much I wanted to live life and have amazing experiences rather than collect things I didn’t even need. Thus began our journey to where we are now – moving to the mainland with only five boxes to ship and an endless number of places to see and memories to make. That’s what makes MY world go round!
It is such a great pass to invest in. I didnt even realize all those different cities had them. Future vacations will be booked to those places!!
Right?!? They had more locations than I was aware of and I want to visit them all!
Such a great idea. I’m always looking to save when I go on vacation. Who isn’t right? I’m heading to New Orleans in May so bookmarking this to come back to when I start my planning.
Thanks, Emma. I’m glad you found it helpful. We really did love our pass the times we’ve used it and now we want to go visit the other places they have passes for!
These are handy tips. We always get a pass online to save money and time during our travels abroad
Thanks – we love that these exist!
I love your tips, especially because every time I think I will just have a cheap vacation because it is just a weekend I end up spending a lot of money in a big city. So thanks!
I totally hear ya! We have had the same experience a bunch of times. Thanks for your comment!
Great post. I totally agree that city passes can definitely save you money depending on what you want to do. Some cities I’ve passed on as I wasn’t interested in the places where the discounts are offered. Others, like the Jordan Pass, I scooped up as I was going to save tons of money. So, researching a place and knowing where you want to go is imperative.
Thanks so much! I definitely agree. Some of the passes from this company have a ton of things I would love to do, but a few of them don’t. Always do your research!
This was such a helpful blog post! I definitely am looking to save more when I travel and this is so handy!
Thanks so much, Taylor! I’m always looking for new ways to save money on travel, too 🙂
Wow! I’ve never heard of this pass before, thanks for letting us know about it!
Thanks for your comment, Alex. I’m glad it helped you learn something new (I love learning new things!) 🙂
