Federal Reserve Bank of New York Liberty St, New York

From outside it look like a big building with cameras and no ways to get in. Security seams to be maximal.

The most corrupt Institution ever, since it's implementation in 1913. An organized mafia in control of printing Monopoly money, known as fiat reserve notes. The federal Reserve Bank is neither Federal, has any reserves, and it's not a Bank. It's more like the head of an octopus that maintains the limbs of it's banks in harmony. It Robs people of their wealth by controlling deflation and inflation. Soon to be exposed as the biggest ponzi that ever existed.

Gold vault tour is worth it. Remember Make a reservation first. It’s like an education center. Taught you the history of Federal reserve, how and where the money made. Money distribution system. The most attractive place is not like what you expected. Not that shiny and bling bling like a movie show. It’s worth to learn more about it. Free reservation

Very good for the community to get in touch with the federal government and FDIC loans or what are you even means to be a part of that and I did promise to even if you were to go wandering asleep they would still support you if you're still doing the right direction of movement I wish they would show a government access route as well I guess that all depends on how access the community respect that

really enjoyed my experience until the printer broke… please fix and i will return

This place is a must visit! And best yet it's free! But you need to book it in advance! Tours are available to book exactly 4 weeks in advance, released 9am EST, they sell out quickly, within the hour usually, so plan ahead. Turn 30-45 min or so before your allotted time so you can go around the museum (although you can do that afterwards), the tour takes an hour, first half around the museum, then down to the vault to see all the gold. Also the tour guide I had was really great.

They promised me money with kind words. In return they lied and refused to refund my money. Worst of all they KEPT demanding more of my hard earned money.

If you have a couple of hours to spare this place is well worth a visit. You can only book 30 days in advance - and the places go strait away as only about 15 people per tour. First part of the tour is ok - very informative about how the bank was formed etc etc. The second part was amazing - as you were taken down into the vaults to see the gold bullion.... amazing. Not allowed to take photo's so you will have to go and see yourself to experience it. Do it!!

I originally came here as a consolation prize for not being able to get into the stock exchange and wasn't expecting much. Boy, was I surprised! The museum tour is excellent and gives a good overview of the history of the building and the purpose the Fed serves. Next they take you underground into the vault to gawk at massive piles of gold bars which is worth the trip alone. Lastly they gave us little bags of shredded money as souvenirs. What a trip! The tour's pretty short but you're free to wander around after. It's also free but there is a very limited number of spots available so make sure to plan ahead. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend checking it out

It's a big sandstone faced building where they make decisions about money that affects everyone. Pretty exciting?

Very good tour! A good opportunity to getting to know some of the inner things and everyday tasks in a reserve bank and the business of money, securities and gold custody. They explain and take you to different places in the circuits of money. However, photos are not allowed here.

Nice place The architectural part of the building it's amazing that historical part of it overwhelming great place. They show you how they destroy money and the gold is just a beautiful pictorial be had. No pictures also a great a memory to have. Wheres my gold hahahahahahahahaha

The school tours they give are very informative. I would suggest 4th grade and up based on the content. They answer any and all questions that the students (or parents) have. The visit to the 'vault' isn't much to look forward to. You basically ride an elevator down to the vault level and they explain that you can't go into the vault because of security. Understandable. What country wants kids and parents walking around next to their gold?

This was awesome! It was pretty tough to get tickets, but they aren't impossible to get. if you do some recon beforehand and have a couple different days you can go, you will have a really cool time. You just have to plan about a month in advance for this!!

Free tour is worth going to if you are in the city - you get a small bag of shredded cash at the end too! I think the tour could have been a little more informative though, particularly with juicy stories from the 2008-09 crisis. Which secret entrance did all the bank executives take to avoid the media during the Lehman weekend? How about the story when AIG walked over tens of billions of bonds as collateral to the NY Fed? Details!

You know, they're doing okay. Really looking at the 2023 branding catalog, I think there's potential here

Impressive architecture for this imposing building, especially considering the gold stored underneath and its importance in the global economy.

My boo works across from there. Parking is scarce, there is a municipal around the corner thou. Very strick area, no standing not even if ur in ur car🤯

They promised me money with kind words. In return they lied and refused to refund my money. Worst of all they KEPT demanding more of my hard earned money.

I had a good experience at the federal reserve that included a learning experience as well as good hospitality. The tour guide was really nice and knew the answer to every question that someone asked her. It was fun to learn about the federal reserve, but to be honest there wasn't much to do after we went down to the gold storage. On the tour they should have more then just quotes on a tv screen. For example they could show a documentary on how the federal reserve was made and the process of what the federal reserve does. This would make the experience better instead of standing around looking at a poster with little pictures. Other then that it was a cool building to be in with the great architecture throughout the building. Some things I learned on the trip were that the Federal Reserve holds a quarter of the worlds gold. I found that interesting that countries would trust us with all that gold. I believe we should charge countries to hold their gold because we are doing them a service with little in return except for the title of having the biggest gold storage in the world. I also learned about money and the process it goes through. For example I didn't know the government shredded money to circulate in new money. This made me realize why old money is such a good collectors item because a lot of the old money gets replaced by the new ones. It was also cool how we learned about the stamps that each dollar has that shows where the bill came from. This isn't very important, but I found it very interesting. TBL: The Federal Reserve is a great place to visit for an educational experience and I recommend other schools to go here on a field trip.

If you get an email or phone call from this "bank", it's an advanced fee scam. Do not give them bank information of ANY kind, money, SS#, gift cards or any information about where you live or how you can be reached. You will never see your money again. If you send them money, you will learn it's more fun to find alternate uses for your money - burning for heat or lighting, for example, or wall papering your bathroom. It's a jungle out there.

Got a tour for the day after I checked for it which was great. Getting a tour for the summer was not so easy. Nice place, great history, and they give you a little gift of shredded cash at the end! Nice touch. No photos are allowed inside, there is cameras everywhere. They say if you pull out your phone, the security will come in seconds! I didn’t test it personally. Not too much of a museum but it’s a short little piece of history. Tours are not translated in other languages. It seems to be only the tour guide who spoke in English for travelers.

Did the BLM riots follow the Federal Reserve Banks?

I found this really enjoyable, the gold vault was what we wanted to see but being honest the information about the fed reserve bank given beforehand was way more interesting. Our tour guide was Anna and she did a great job responding to everybody's questions.

This is the New York office of the Federal Reserve Bank. They have extensive out reach programs to explain what this government agency does. These activities include a display about what the Fed does. One of the things they do is hold the gold assets of various governments. A tour of their display on their various activities and a tour of the vaults where they hold the gold is available. People have to sign up well in advance - several months at least- for this tour. The tours are a lot of fun, especially the gold vault part is a lot of fun. It's free.

The entrance doors have "Employee Only" signage so let the security officer on the sidewalk know you are there for the tour, and after an ID check, you are radioed in for clearance to enter and go through airport-type security check. Very easy. I was hoping to hear more about monetary policy but the tour is focused more on visiting the very impressive vault of gold. Still very welcoming, informative, and def worth my time for my 10th visit to NYC. You can tour the museum part while you wait for the tour to start and stay as long as you want after the tour to see it all. Restrooms in the back of it. I appreciated the 3 complimentary graphic novels available which explains the system to a younger audience. Tickets are so hard to come by so if you sign up, pls attend. Our group was def less than 25.

interesting building with a fortress like look including barred windows. Only appropriate as eighty ft below street level is more gold than in Fort Knox. The Federal Reserve does offer tours but I 've never been. THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT THE BAD GUYS ROB IN DIE HARD 3. THE ONE WITH SAMUEL L JACKSON AND JEREMY IRONS

The privately owned Federal Reserve definitely caused The Great Depression by contracting the amount of currency in circulation by one third from 1929 to 1933. The Federal Reserve System is accountable to no one; it has no budget; it is subject to no audit; and no Congressional committee knows of, or can truly supervise, its operations. The Federal Reserve, virtually in total control of the nation's vital monetary system, is accountable to nobody—and this strange situation, if acknowledged at all, is invariably trumpeted as a virtue.

Perfect place to learn something about monetary policy, history of US money system, and see the gold in the lower levels. Also we had a really nice tour with our guide.
