Visit the Money Museum

Bring your family to explore the Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, a free attraction that welcomes all visitors. There's no need to buy tickets—just show up and walk through at your own pace. The museum is self-guided, so you can spend as much or as little time as you'd like learning about money and finance. Plan to arrive by 3:30 pm if you want to enjoy the full experience, as that's the last entry time. To make your visit more interactive, download the museum's free app before you go. It offers guided tours and scavenger hunts that can turn your visit into an engaging activity for kids. Note that the facility does have airport-style security screening at the entrance, so budget a few extra minutes for that process. It's a great way to introduce children to financial concepts in a hands-on setting, and best of all, it won't cost your family a dime.
