The app will guide you through the booking process, and for some experiences, you may be redirected to the attraction’s own site or asked to contact them directly. 

The following attractions require pre-booking: Historical Gems Tour, JORVIK, Stump Cross Caverns, The Hilt, Treasurer’s House, York Cocoa Works, York Cold War Bunker and York Dungeon.

3. Start Exploring!

With your pass activated and bookings made, you’re ready to discover York!

Head to the booking app and scroll to the attraction you’re visiting

Show your Visit York Pass code at the entrance.

If you’ve pre-booked tickets, be sure to show these too for quick, free entry.

Before your visit, check each attraction’s page for the latest opening times and visitor information. You’ll find links to every attraction both in the app and right here on our website.
