Last Summer, over 1300 Smart Destinations customers were interviewed by a third party research firm (KRC Research). They were asked about their experiences buying and using the company’s Go Card and Explorer Passes.
94% of the customers surveyed said they were either “satisfied” or “extremely satisfied.” And most of that 94% said they were “extremely satisfied.”
The reasons why customers were so overwhelmingly positive about the Go Card experience were primarily:
- The quality and quantity of the attractions that accept the card for admission
- The fact the card was convenient and easy to use
- The fact that it saved them money compared to having to buy separate tickets at each attraction
Another key finding of the research was that 91% of the customers surveyed would recommend a Go Card or Explorer Pass to someone else.
So if you are considering buying a Go Los Angeles Card, it is nice to know that previous customers have such strongly positive reviews of the product.

Farmer’s Market photo uploaded by
The Farmer’s Market has been open since 1934 and continues to be the premier market in Los Angeles for fresh groceries and eclectic dining. The Farmer’s Market is attached to a hip and trendy mall called, “The Grove,” which makes for an odd pairing but keeps visitors entertained for hours on end.
There are over 30 restaurants in the Farmer’s Market, including French, Chinese, Korean, and American fare. Parking can be tough in this area, so come early for breakfast and spend the day shopping at The Grove afterward.
The Grove also offers an exclusive discount book with the Go Los Angeles Card.
