Compare Philadelphia PassesYes on Go City, no on CityPASS. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is confirmed on Go City Philadelphia's own published All-Inclusive Pass attraction list, but it does NOT appear among Philadelphia CityPASS's 10 choosable attractions — a confirmed exclusion, the same 'one pass has it, the other doesn't' pattern already documented for Chicago's Art Institute.
Go City Philadelphia — All-Inclusive Pass
Included. Confirmed on Go City's own published Philadelphia attractions list.
Philadelphia CityPASS
Not included. Confirmed absent from CityPASS's own published 10-attraction list — a genuine, sourced exclusion, the same pattern as Chicago's Art Institute (there, reversed: CityPASS includes it, Go City excludes it).
