This was an interesting free museum! I liked that the information was presented in a way that catered to both adults and children. I didn't feel like I was at a children's museum, but my 13 year old didn't feel like everything was too in depth to grasp.

They had a room with a video about the federal reserve that was quite dry. Wish they had maybe 2 or 3 with varying topics still related instead of one on a loop with someone named 'penny' wow they try a little too hard to be cutesy. The staff who spoke to me upon arrival were brief without emotion. The mentions of mostly geared towards children is correct, however has 2-3 hours of material for adults to read as well if interested. I have always found banks and the fed interesting and after almost 2 hours had to leave due to it being so dry and the staff unfriendly at a museum? One lady after you enter was behind a counter on a zoom call talking about a logo and would not answer any of our questions...she was too important working at the front desk of money museum at federal reserve bank...one other staff member was giving her family a private tour was kind enough to answer a few questions. Wasn't kind enough to allow me to join their more informational tour..bag of shredded money and comic books for kids are great. clean museum expect 1.5-2 hours to check it all out. Monday here was uneventful for vault viewing. Free entrance was nice about 15-20 min walk from street car

Was a nice museum. A little small but so is money. Was cool to see how cash is bound and sorted. They even give you some free cash at the end.

We have always loved Thou Mayest and this location is beautiful! We had the immersion brew and the Spirit of KC cocktail.

Quite delicious! For anyone needing a drink of nearly any sort this is the spot… plenty of seating and just an all around beautiful spot.

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.

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.

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!
