LOS ANGELES & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fall is the perfect time to enjoy Southern California’s most spectacular, smile-inducing destinations. Autumn temperatures are mild and theme parks are less crowded. And, armed with a Southern California CityPASS ticket booklet, travelers will find visiting the top attractions more affordable than ever.

“the world’s largest, most intense 3-D experience.”

Each Southern California CityPASS includes a Disneyland Resort 3-Day Park Hopper Bonus Ticket (which allows entrance for three days to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park), as well as one-day admissions to Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld San Diego, and a choice between the San Diego Zoo or San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

An adult Southern California CityPASS sells for $269 (a value of $379), saving nearly 30 percent off combined admissions to the participating attractions. Youth (ages 3-9) ticket booklets retail for $229 (a value of $319).
