Very worthwhile pass to have as we saved quite a lot of money and is easy to use.

It was easy to receive and use the pass. The fundamental concept is good but to get the most out of it you should prepare yourself concerning the costs for various attractions. Many museums are free anyway so you really should check what kind of attractions you are looking for before you buy the pass. Otherwise you may safe not that much money as you expect in advance.

Hi
the problem with these power passes are the usual:
it includes places that are free anyway eg the shopping centre at tysons corner a lame secret free gift is offered
lots of places require a car to get to them
there was considerable overlap with for example the trolley tour and the open top tour
some of the activities involve the whol,ke day for example the mount vernon cruise option leaving little time to avail yourself of other inclusions in order to make the card purchase financilally wortwhile
to activate the open top you had to make your way to a location a good walk from where you took up the open top tour
activating the whole thing had to be done at acity location but not, inexplicably at union station so this wasted time also
I enjoyed washington but cannit say i thought the powerpass was either good value OR an efficient use of time
Thanks
I didn't get the full usage of my 3day pass because the wax Museum that was listed as one of the 2 pick up points did not have power passes and left us unable to enter other places without the power pass.We had to reschedule the other events for the next day.
