Informational FREE museum located in the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. They have small bags of shredded money to take as a souvenir. They have all the coins and paper money used in our countries history by year. You can also see the bank workers sorting money.. A lot of it too. Overall a nice experience.

We took our lower-elementary-age kids to the Money Museum, and honestly we thought they might last about ten minutes before losing interest. We ended up staying for about 45 minutes and they had a great time! There was lots to see and do, and the highlights were trying to pick up the gold bar, creating their own currency, and seeing the robots carry the pallets into the vault. I would definitely recommend taking kids kindergarten and up!

Was an amazing opportunity to learn about money and how our banks work. There are a few interactive exhibits for kids and adults to explore. For example, lifting up a real gold bar and understanding how inflation has grown over the years. We probably spent about 30 minutes here and then headed to the WWI museum across the street.

You can't beat a free entrance. The museum is open during the weekdays and closed on the weekends and is currently only accepting those who have reserved their tickets online in advance (circa late 2021). It's a super small self guided tour that starts off with a Harry Truman coin collection. The exhibit next to it contains colorful and visual infographics on the history associated with money. After the exhibit, you can walk down a large hallway containing information that leads to a viewing area off limits to cameras. This area contains thick windows for tourists to view the actual processing and handling of money buy the federal reserve employees. Overall, it's a nice free thing to do that won't take up more than 30 minutes to an hour of your time. Enjoy.

So much fun! Had my 3yo and 6yo children with and they loved the coloring section, the photo ops, and leaving with a souvenir bag of shredded bills! It was a great experience and the staff and guards there were just the best!

Very interesting place. Not very big and you can do the visit within an hour. You will learn things you didn’t know about money for sure. Worth the trip and it is FREE!

The museum is smallish, but it is great. Where else can you try to lift a 27 pound gold bar or see pallets of money being processed. I will also say the security staff is so courteous and friendly. We could all learn from the example they set. Highly recommend. Takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

Its free. Has a neat display of money orgami and a coin display going back to the late 1700's. The "no photo" area where they processed/counted money is not interesting. I would say an hour is plenty of time. No gift shop, but you do get to take a bag of shredded cash. I could not lift the gold bar.

This is an interesting museum to see. You can see a collection of coins, some bills that are no longer in circulation, and also see how money is made. The museum is free and there is free parking there so visiting it is no brainer.

This museum is part Kansas City’s Federal Reserve Bank and is located by in the Crown Center and walking distance from the national WWI museum. The museum is free. But there is a Airport style security screening and you’ll need to have an ID with you to enter. You can take picture of the museum, but not allowed to take pictures of security personnel, equipment and the cash operation.

Pretty cool experiences to be had here. All the staff was very friendly. It was really cool to see them handling such large amounts of money. No pictures of that you'll have to see it for yourself.

I learned some things I never knew about our money. The most interesting exhibit was the coin collection, with coins going back to the birth of our nation. You even get some shredded money! You have to get tickets ahead of time because of Covid protocols, but it is a cool place to spend an hour or two.

Had a fun time at the Money Museum. There is a ton of information there. It is great for kids because they can understand a lot of the information. They even give you a free bag of money! It is a little bag of shredded money but it is still funny. Just made me want to watch Mad Money, which was set in KC.

Super kid friendly! I was worried about that but they have buttons, interactive walls, digital pictures that email to you, and seeing the machines work in the vault! You do have to show your drivers license to go in and have it scanned along with going through a metal detector. But strollers are fine.

Awesome place to visit. Good history on money, making, destruction, and banking system. Where else do you get free money upon departure. Advisory-you'll be surched upon entry. Free.

It was amazing and very interesting... the guards were nice and gave us some info about the place and the vault.... and the vault were they are counting millions of dollars is hypnotizing to see all that money.. overall very cool place to go no matter your age

An incredible experience and fantastic education about your money. Very enjoyable for all family members. Walk away with a lot of Cash!

For sure a great experience for both me and my son! I would for sure consider a visit if you are in the area! Plus it's free to enter!

Neat display of coins throughout history! Very interesting to see how money is packed and sorted to distribute to banks around the country!!!

I was not expecting this place to be THIS much fun but when I entered it was like I turned into Mr. Krabs and started singing about money, money, money!!! The historical aspect of this museum is amazing! Being able to see all of the oldest coins really is a unique treasure of this museum. The interactive exhibits are incredibly fun and the whole place is just perfect even with small kids. Well laid out, lots to do, and the fact it’s free makes it even better! Takes about an hour to walk through and see everything but you could stay a lot longer if you didn’t bring kids! Definitely make this a stop on your KC trip! It’s honestly the coolest thing to see!

A very unique experience, more friendly for kids than one would expect! It was cool to see money being processed. It doesn't take very long to get through, so it's an easy add to your itinerary. Be prepared to pass through a security checkpoint.

I love this place and it's free. You can take your kids for them to learn a lot from it.

The Money Museum in Kansas City is a fascinating and educational experience for all ages. With exhibits showcasing the history of money, including coins, bills, and even a cash vault, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The museum offers hands-on activities for kids, like watching vault robots in action, which our children absolutely loved. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our visit even more enjoyable. And to top it all off, the museum offers a unique souvenir bag of shredded money that our kids couldn't get enough of. Overall, we had a fantastic time at The Money Museum.

The self guided tour was short and sweet, it walks you through exhibits and a historic coin wall which was cool. The coolest part was the money room. Behind glass you can see the employees and machines working through large amounts of used bills for quality and checking for counterfeit bills.

Located on the ground floor of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, this interesting museum has displays that tell a lot about money! But my 7-yr old grandsons were not mature enough to enjoy this like they might when they are a little older. There is way too much to read and not enough interaction for kids of that age, and who wants to listen to Granny read about money, anyway? There are some photo props that are kind of fun but not the right height for my kiddos. They did like the small bag of shredded currency (approximately $83 worth) and were surprised that they didn't have to pay for it. It would have been fun to see the shredding process.

We really enjoyed the Money Museum. It was really interesting to see how coins and paper money have evolved over the years. The other very interesting thing at this museum was to see the vaults, huge amounts of cash, the robots that move the money and the money sorting room. The security guards we fun and engaging. They have a solid gold bar you can lift or try to lift and the guard pointed out and gave helpful tips to try and lift it. A couple of things to know, you cannot take photos of the vaults and sorting room. Also they are only open during the week so plan accordingly. Be sure to grab some shredded money on the way out.

It's very a small museum, but it was such a great experience. Not too often my 16 and 18 year olds are amused, but I think they really enjoyed it. Guards were so friendly, we saw 2 different sets of guards and they both were great interacting with.

This was a great place to spend and hour or maybe a bit longer, and it's FREE! It was very interesting to learn a few things about the money we take for granted. There were several good exhibits and you get to see a bit of what goes on at the Federal Reserve.

Great museum for an after lunch date outing. Plus you get free money! Who doesn't want free money?!!

Cool museum u get to see a little bit inside the vault and watch them process money and they have a coin collection of all different types of coins from the very first president and the best part is it's free u just have to get tickets in advance and also mask is required

Amazing history lesson and really cool to see the money being processed. The gentleman working security was beyond friendly and gave a great intro to the museum. I learned so many things on this visit! Afterwards, they even gave us a little bag of shredded money.

A free experience that is something you should check out if in Kansas City. Very fun and enjoyable.

Learn a lot. Great place to bring kids. They give a way money. All stuff really helpful. I have great experience in this place

Just a cool thing to do. Glad we went there. They even gave free shredded money 💰

Awesome place to visit... learn about the history of money 💵.. and have a wonderful time learning try to lift a 27pound Real Gold Bar..😁 and more.. you'll be surprised how happy money 🤑 can make you feel just being there..

Good lesser known museum with history and explanation of the Federal Reserve system and its KC branch. Truman collection is a great display of US coins. Nice low key staff, considering that you can see millions of dollars here. Minus one star for some electronic displays didn't work correctly, some needed updating to 2020 statistics, and coin collection could use more explanatory materials. Tip: Pick up KC Fed publications on the way out. District magazine is excellent, and research papers are great for those interested in economics. Don't forget your shredded money, too! As of winter 2022, free tickets required but available same day.

Very nifty place. Loved seeing how our money has evolved over time, I had no idea! Can't wait to go back.

If you are interested in our money, Banking and our Federal Reserve system you will enjoy it. It is a self guided tour that will take about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour. You cannot go into the vault but you can look through security glass into that area. On your way out, don't forget your free bag of money.
