  This is a free museum, so it's definitely worth to visit! They even give you a free bag of (shredded) money just for visiting. It's a beautiful building and lots to see. But you must take time to read and interact with the exhibits. There is a lot of information squeezed into a small space. If you just browse, then it'll take you 5 minutes to walk through.

  I actually found this short self-guided tour interesting. I even got a free bag of shredded one dollar bills (maybe also twenty and hundred dollars?) as a souvenir. It was actually pretty educational, especially for kids to understand how the federal bank acted on the regression and global crisis.

  go for the tour! the books itself is worth it. it is a free exhibit and doesn’t take much time but you get a little bag of shredded money. it was the best part of my trip. a cute little hidden treasure.

  The interactive exhibits in the museum are nice. There are free booklets about the Fed that you can take. The greeter will give you a bag of shredded money as souvenir.

  I thought the exhibit was good. The timeline of the evolution of banking was really interesting & so was the history of currency during colonial times. Adults & children can get something out of a visit...not just for kids.

  So cool! They have a miniature exhibition on the first floor that is free! So fun for all ages to check out and go through the exhibit and learn about the federal reserve and money in general!

  I'm still mad at these guys: US Government said "OK Fed Reserve you guys can print money at no cost to you" then the Fed turns around and loans it back the the US and charges them interest that i pay for with my taxes! not cool guys! They do not charge money for the money museum here though, which is cool. one star.

  They have a nice little exhibit teaching you on what the Fed does, as well as what inflation is. There are also videos detailing the macroeconomic history of the US since the Great Depression. Very interesting to go solo or with a +1

  Self tour around the small staged area. Very much for the child who hasn't been exposed to a tablet or iPad. It's basic for sure. The bonus is you get a gift of $100. Don't get too excited. It's shredded and packaged in an bag. :)

  The money museum is fun. A good history of American currency and banking. Between this and the US Mint a fee blocks East, you could learn a ton in one day.
