Visit the Money Museum

Bring the family to explore currency and banking at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's Money Museum. This free, walk-in experience requires no tickets or advance planning—just show up during operating hours. You'll move through at your own pace, making it easy to spend as much or as little time as you'd like. The museum does have airport-style security screening upon entry, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. To enhance your experience, download the museum's free app, which offers guided tours and scavenger hunts that can keep kids engaged throughout your time there. This is a great option for families curious about how money works or looking for an educational outing that won't strain the budget. All ages are welcome, making it accessible whether you're visiting with toddlers or teenagers.
