NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On the second anniversary of the Downtown Culture Pass, New York's Downtown museums have expanded the program's offerings to include additional participants and increased benefits. The Downtown Culture Pass was founded in 2010 as a six-month pilot program to highlight the multiple cultural attractions located within convenient walking distance of each other south of Chambers Street. Due to its success, spurred in part by increased tourism in Lower Manhattan upon the opening of the 9/11 Memorial, the Downtown Culture Pass became an official program in 2011.

Recent enhancements to the Downtown Culture Pass include:

For the single price of $30 for adults (18+), $15 for youths (13-17) and $5 for children (6-12), the Downtown Culture Pass grants each ticket holder unlimited admission and/or other discounted benefits for three full days to any and all participating museums, a walking tour and discounts on purchases at participating neighborhood businesses. The pass may be purchased online at http://www.downtownculturepass.org, or in person at the Museum of American Finance, the Museum of Jewish Heritage or the National Museum of the American Indian.

The expanded roster of participating organizations and their benefits are:
