Both Orlando attraction passes come from Go City, but they work very differently. Here is how to choose the one that actually saves you money.
Attraction passes can save serious money in Orlando, but only if you pick the right one for your plans. The two most popular options, the Orlando All-Inclusive Pass and the Orlando Explorer Pass, are both sold by Go City, and they work in completely different ways. Here is how they compare.
Quick verdict
- Choose the Explorer Pass if you want to visit two to five specific attractions over a longer trip, at your own pace.
- Choose the All-Inclusive Pass if you plan to pack several attractions into a short, busy stretch, including big-ticket stops like Kennedy Space Center or LEGOLAND Florida.
- Skip both if you mainly plan to visit Disney and Universal, which are not included in either pass.
How each pass works
Orlando Explorer Pass
You choose a 2, 3, 4 or 5-choice pass, then pick your attractions from the list. You have 30 days to use it from your first visit, and entry is managed through the Go City app. Included attractions feature ICON Park favorites like The Wheel (listed as The Orlando Eye), Madame Tussauds and WonderWorks.
Orlando All-Inclusive Pass
You pay once for a set number of days and can visit as many included attractions as you want during that time. The pass covers more than 30 attractions, including Kennedy Space Center, LEGOLAND Florida, WonderWorks, The Wheel and Madame Tussauds. Go City says you can save up to 50% compared with buying separate tickets, based on sample itineraries.
Side-by-side comparison
- How it works: The Explorer Pass covers a set number of attractions. The All-Inclusive Pass gives you unlimited attractions within a set number of days.
- Validity: Explorer: 30 days from your first attraction. All-Inclusive: consecutive days from activation.
- Best for: Explorer suits slower trips and specific wish lists. All-Inclusive suits packed sightseeing days.
- Big-ticket attractions: Explorer focuses on I-Drive and city attractions. All-Inclusive includes Kennedy Space Center and LEGOLAND Florida.
- Risk: With the Explorer you pay for what you use. With the All-Inclusive you only save if you visit several attractions a day.

How to know if a pass saves you money
- List the attractions you actually want to visit, not everything included.
- Add up the gate prices for those attractions.
- Compare that total with the pass price for your group and trip length.
- Be realistic about time. Theme park days, travel and rest days leave fewer hours for attractions than most people expect.

No. Neither pass includes Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort theme parks, which require separate tickets.
Is the Orlando Explorer Pass worth it?
It is worth it if you plan to visit at least two or three included attractions whose combined gate prices exceed the pass price. Check the current list of attractions before buying.
Which Orlando pass is better for families?
For a busy few days that include Kennedy Space Center or LEGOLAND Florida, the All-Inclusive Pass usually offers more value. For a relaxed trip with a couple of I-Drive attractions, the Explorer Pass is simpler and cheaper.
