It will be the first CityPass in Texas and the only CityPass in the Southwest.

The Houston CityPass costs $34 for adults and $24 for ages 4-11. It includes tickets to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Space Center on the grounds of NASA, the Downtown Aquarium, and the Houston Zoo. In addition, the booklet comes with several options: admission to either the Health Museum or the George Ranch Historical Park, a living history center on a working ranch; and a visit to either the Museum of Fine Arts or the Children's Museum of Houston.

The price of the booklet typically works out to about half that of individually purchased tickets, and it also includes transportation directions, a map, hours and information compiled by National Geographic Traveler magazine about dining, shopping, neighborhoods and nightlife.

Most attractions allow CityPass holders to avoid waiting in line for tickets once they get there.

Ticket booklets are valid for nine days from the first day of use.

You can buy the Houston CityPass from www.citypass.com, at any of the participating attractions, or from the Greater Houston Visitor Center at City Hall, 901 Bagby St., 800-446-8786.

CityPass offers similar ticket booklets for attractions in New York, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Hollywood or Southern California. Some of these passes have added attractions this year, including for the Seattle CityPass, the Experience Music Project and the Science Fiction Museum; for the Philadelphia CityPass, the Eastern State Penitentiary, a historic site; for the New York CityPass, an option to do either the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Museum or the Circle Line cruise around Manhattan; and in Chicago, an option for either the Hancock Observatory or the Sears Tower.

CityPass also offers discounts for certain transportation extras, like savings on a guided bicycle ride over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, a trolley tour in Boston, or a Double Decker bus in New York City.

Enlarge George Ranch Historical Park Admission to the George Ranch Historical Park is one of the options included with the new Houston CityPass.
