PHILADELPHIA, PA — Historic Germantown is relaunching its discounted multi-site admissions program for the summer tourism season, expanding visitor flexibility as cultural institutions across Philadelphia compete for regional travel and heritage tourism spending.

The Historic Germantown One Pass will run from June 12 through August 29, offering discounted admission to nine historic and cultural sites across Northwest Philadelphia. The program, supported by Visit Philadelphia, follows a pilot launch last fall.

Adult passes are priced at $43, while youth and senior passes cost $28. Children ages five and under are admitted free. The pass includes one-time admission to participating attractions at a reduced combined cost.

This year’s program broadens access by extending pass validity across the full 12-week operating period rather than limiting usage to one week after purchase, as was the case during the inaugural rollout. Participating institutions will offer public access Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., with some sites extending additional hours independently.

“We’re proud to support the return of the One Pass because it gives residents and visitors an accessible way to experience this remarkable neighborhood at such a historic moment for Philadelphia and the nation,” Jessica Calter, senior vice president of advancement and external affairs at Visit Philadelphia, stated.

Historic Germantown Executive Director Tuomi Forrest stated the expanded format is intended to encourage visitors to explore the neighborhood over multiple visits rather than through a condensed itinerary.

Participating sites include Cliveden, The Colored Girls Museum, Johnson House Historic Site, Stenton, and Wyck Historic House and Garden, among others highlighting Revolutionary War history, abolitionist movements, African American history, and preserved colonial-era architecture.

The pass can be purchased online or in person at the Germantown Historical Society, according to organizers. Visitors are encouraged to verify operating hours and reservation requirements directly with participating institutions before arrival.
