FREE cant beat that. Entertainment for kids and adults. Cool to see the cash vault and watch the employees count crates and crates of mulah. Make your own money booth, picture with 40 million, interesting facts about money, photo booth allows you to send it straight to your email, best of luck picking up the gold bar and a short survey at the end either gives you a free sticker or 10% off coupon at gift shop. Just do it!!!

What a really neat concept, and very American.A museum dedicated to the concept of money. It really is worth your time if you want to go visit it. The coin collection in there is second to none, it has examples of almost every coin ever minted by the United States Treasury. They have a 30 lb bar of gold you can lift up. And theres some really neat displays outside of that.Worth your time for a short visit.

Interesting place to visit, very informative and educational. Staff was extremely helpful. They have a lot of interactive things for the kids to participate in.

Hanging Out with GeorgeI took the time to let my curiosity roam and found one of the most interesting free tours in Missouri.The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City is an impressive regional headquarters of the central bank of the United States. I’m embarrassed to say that it’s taken all this time for me to explore a site that’s located in my own backyard.Within the buildings design of clean, simple lines, space and pleasing light, is a trove of information, photos, displays and an actual work force on site. Read about the monetary policy and how the Federal Reserve controls the supply and tracking of currency as the regions demand for cash determines it.Through easy to read displays, learn of the supervision and regulation of banks throughout the nation as the Federal Reserve promotes steady growth and expansion in the economy. You will discover how money is distributed to banks as well as what steps are taken to replace worn out and counterfeit bills.A few quick fun facts-Try to lift the 27-pound, 389.27 oz gold bar that was cast in 1959 at the U.S. mint in San Francisco.It takes 24 minutes for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to print 10 million new 100.00 bills!In 1988, the bank pneumatic tube messaging system, installed in 1921 was taken out of commission.If you spent one dollar every second, it would take 15 months before you spent 40 million dollars.During your visit, check out the Truman Coin Collection then make your way to the cash vault to view money being counted and stored.Overall: This free self-guided tour is a great way to get a better understanding of the Feds purpose as well as introducing children to the importance and value of saving, investing and that money doesn’t grow on trees!

There is so much to learn, and everything is presented in such an easy format to take in. Lots of great little activities and exhibits for kids.There are some activities that are better for younger kids, like creating your own dollar bill (they have a station with a blank currency note and crayons, where you can shade different patterns that are embossed off the table), but there are even more activities that are good for older kids, like learning the distinction between wants and needs, and balancing your activities to meet your budget goals.There was a film playing when we got there, which talked about the history of how the Fed came to KC, and although I didn’t get to watch all of it (my 4 year old was tired) I found it fascinating and informative.It’s fun to be able to take home a little bag of shredded, unfit currency too. Each visitor can take one bag, and it’s branded with the “billion dollar experience” logo.All in all, a very fun, free experience. Would highly recommend!

Just a quick 15 minute walk south from Union Station is this amazing museum! All about the Benjamins? Then this place is for you. After a quick check in at the door with security, you are quickly greeted by a plethora of different kiosks, all there to engage with you and teach you something you didnt know. From todays currency to the first American currency, you will be amazed at by the collection of everything US money. Its so cool my 6 year old was entertained and carried his free bag of shredded money around the whole time. Definitly worth a visit.

Great experience, love the coin collection and different exhibits.#1 fan of louie

Fun, fast and free. Amazing to see how they count all the Bills. My kids loved their free money bag

Very cool time and it’s FREE!! So many cool things from a long time ago. Also very cool how the money is distributed

Very cool to see the process of money being shredded! Tons of cools things to look at! Great way for you to spend some time and learn about money! All for free too! Cant beat it!

Where do I begin? This explains a thing or two about money....and then some. (Like yo dollas are actually part linen.)To me, one of the most impressive features/exhibits of the place, is the Truman Coin Collection on the wall first thing as you enter. Almost every coin ever minted, displayed by Presidential Administrations.A gold brick you can touch, and yes a Wall of Money. Millions upon millions....or nowadays, Racks on racks on racks, of CASH.Staring at it is like nothing Ive ever experienced. The building is a large, imposing, modern structure with a stunning glass lobby.The history will leave you looking, and feeling, differently about cold, hard, cash.The bag of free shredded counterfeit is a nice touch, too.Just do it.

It was more fun than I thought it would be. My favorite was making your own money with the rubbings and crayons.

Nothing here shows it is still closed. Closed indefinitely

Super cool place that’s free! A lot of things for the kids to learn about but to me the coolest part was watching the robots carry money around.

Staff are super amazing here - great place to visit with family to learn about money.

Fascinating look at how money is created and destroyed! Also a large collection to coins minted over the years. Don’t miss out on getting your bag of shredded dollars!

Interesting and exciting to see how the Federal Reserve handled money. To see the massive amount of money in one place is awesome.

Interesting place to learn about the Federal Reserve. Some hands on activities for kids. It was free and everyone could take a bag of shredded cash. Its a working reserve bank, so adults need IDs to get in and you have to go through a security check point. Free parking next to the bank. I thought it was ironic that the gift shop couldnt break my $100 bill. It was neat watching the workers handle huge amounts of cash near the vaults. We learned somethings and enjoyed our visit.

Great place for all ages and its FREE to visit! A must see in KC. Coins from all presidential terms and look for Uncle Scrooges nephews.

Lost of cool things to do with kids there and money from when it was first made in America.

Went yo the Federal Reserve Bank for a great program on Black Female Entrepreneurs put on by their community outreach. THANKS YALL !

We did a homeschool trip and it was fun. Takes about 45-60 mins and was very educational.

Nice place with an amazing history of one of the sought after things in American History. It is very well maintained and the staff was super friendly.

Most of the introduction was there it is going for it. The equipment that you interact with was broken. Very nice building, you couldnt keep kids interested for five minutes.

If you are visiting Kansas City this is a place to visit with kids lots of fun and informational

Not much to do in there pretty boring

Cool place to take the kids and learn about currency.

Hope them can organize it better! But worth to view.

This museum is so creative and perfect for all ages!

Great museum. Its free. Plus they give you a bag of money bad part its shredded cash

If you like money, this is the museum for you! But seriously, if you’re in Kansas City, looking for something to do, I highly recommend The Money Museum. You can get through it in about 45 minutes and you will see some really interesting things. From a solid gold bar to a 40 million dollar wall. Not to mention the cash vault where you get to see robots moving around loads of cold hard cash.The best part of this museum.... it’s free!Cha-Ching

If you ever wondered how money is printed and how our economy is protected, great place. Parking can be tight in high traffic times.

This is a free entry museum. try to take original photo id with you .driving licence,passport any photo id is fine . takes around 30 to 40 time . can see the coins used under different presidents, can feel the weight of a GOLD bar and also how the counting and stacking of money is done

Great little museum - spend an hour or so here. Amazing facts and the shear volume of money they handle is incredible! Very cool display of a coin collection of each variant of coins from the 1800s and forward.

Took my 2 kids ages 6&16 to the FREE money museum on the non guided tour. There were a lot of other kids there bc it was the summer so it was hard to take time and look throughly at some items. However there were plenty of things to see such as the 27lb gold brick, $100,000 bill, the vault that processes over $4 million dollars per day and has over a billion in storage. You can make your own dollar bill in a couple of ways. On your way out you can take a bag of shredded money.

Love to take the little ones ️

It was very interesting to see all different types of coins, coins issued by presidents, Procedures they take for money among other things. It was educational and wonderful to learn while visiting KC. Best motivation was free admission which was a bonus from a long weekend trip we had all while trying to find some things to see in KC. I recommended visiting with school age kids or yourself if visiting for a quick learning experience. Tours are available there I believe at certain times we didn’t use one at the time. Would visit there again.

Awsome to see history of money

I work in a bank, so paper money usually isnt terribly interesting, but I thought this was a great experience, especially since admission is free. There are plenty of neat exhibits showing historical currency and giving details on how money is made and protected. Theres a lot of interactive stuff for kids to be engaged with, and enough artifacts and statistics to keep older kids and adults interested.

Capitalismand its cold.

So cool, kids and adults will find this neat! Plus you get a free bag of shredded money at the end!

Such a cool place to learn about money

When you call yourself a museum for money youd better have lots of cash. The Fed delivers on that one. You see a multi-million dollar wall of bills (not all real though), a massive Truman coin collection back to Washington, an enormous shredder (of which you can take home a bag of greenback shreds), and a cavern of bank deposits managed by three robotic forklifts. Theres lots of history including machine guns, half a million dollars of a gold bar to lift, and interactive kids stations. One of my favorite KC s spots.

Learned a lot about money.

First, its absolutely free which rare now days! Sadly a majority of the touch screen were either slow, outdated, or didnt work properly which diminished my experience; other than that the museum was very unique and informative. The main attraction is definitely worth the visit and receiving a free souvenir isnt the worst thing either.

Want to get your picture taken with $40 million? Do it here!

Theres not a ton to do or see. You can easily be in and out in 30 minutes to an hour. Luckily theres a lot to do nearby: WWI memorial, Crown Center, Union Station, streetcar, etc.You do get to take home a free bag of shredded currency, which is pretty cool.

Short tour but cool. I liked seeing them by vault putting money together.

Fun and informative all for free. The kids loved the interactive parts, putting their faces on money, lifting gold, and the bag of shredded money.

Slightly interesting.

This place is great. So many cool features that deal with all the aspects of the federal reserve and the banking system. Fun stuff for the kids and you cant beat the price.

Several interesting exhibits and a large amount of information. Cool place to visit if youre in the area, takes about 1.5 hours to see everything.

This is a small museum to take in at the federal reserve bank. Its free. The Truman coin collection is really something to see. Its arranged so that you can see which coins were in circulation during each presidents term.The best attraction here, though, is the automated trucks and cranes that move the money around inside the bank. Three trucks named Huey, Dewey, and Louis drive back and forth moving money from one place to the next. All automated. Its mesmerizing really. Totally worth the price of admission.And its free.

Really cool and educational

I enjoyed our visit. it was quite interesting. We went for homeschool week as part of the Family Tours. I was a little disappointed because it wasnt geared toward the younger kids at all. I heard that they have some neat things usually for the younger kids. So I wish the Family Tours could be geared a little more to the mixed ages. But it was interesting for us older folks & it was very convenient for parking. And free which is awesome.

Great information about the Federal Reserve Bank. Has parking lot on the west side. Bring your drivers license. Hands on displays are great for kids and adults alike. Free money!! To bad its shredded. Neat display of coins starting with George Washington.

Very interesting Place!!

This place awesome. Great for any age.

My kids havent had that much fun at an educational place in a long time! Definitely recommend this for anyone of all ages.

A fun place to visit and learn about money! Not an all day event, but a couple hours will do the trick. Plus you get a free bag of shredded money as a souvenir.

Cool place

Really good. Cool for kids. The $40M wall and the VAULT were fascinating!

Interesting place- youll learn a lot. Be prepared to go through a metal detector since this is inside a federal building. ID required!

Could use more exhibits

Its Money if Course

Dont miss the money robots in the back! Be sure to grab a free bag of (shredded-up) money. Trumans no ey collection is very interesting!

Highly recommend if you have an hour or two to kill in KC. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Nice gift shop too.

Great place to visit, and its free!

Okay little museum. Lots of interactive displays and a rare look inside the inner workings of the Fed. You can get a bag of free shredded up money. Tip: do the survey towards the end for a surprise benefit.

Such a cool museum. Its free. Be prepared to show ID and go through metal detectors.

Fascinating place and love that you can see all the old currency

The money museum has a ton of information about the history of our currency. They even let you feel the weight of a gold bar!

Free bag of money!

Great museum for kids and the best part is the price. Just enough information to keep the adults engaged but lots of stuff for the kids.

We went here last minute and were pleasently surprised. The kids (4 and 7) were not so impressed, but we enjoyed it. The kids did like the robots that moved the money.

Fascinating! Enjoyed watching the vault.

Free. Great place for a history lesson on money. Bring singles to get change in the machine on the way out.

Free, interesting, and you learn a lot. Loved the coin collection.

Great place!!!

Go watch robots move money!

Neat

Enjoyed this museum, glad we went.

Staff is awesome!

Fun times

Worth a stop

Didnt even give out free money at the end of the tour

Awesome!!! Who doesnt love money!

Free. Lots of activities for adults and children.

Wouldnt let us in! Needed passport as ID, driving licence wasnt good enough. This wasnt clearly specified on the website.

Thank you for the free samples.
