The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Denver Branch 16th St, Denver

My review is only for the exterior of the building. Lol I didn't have a chance to go inside because it was closed when I was there. Located in the heart of downtown on the famous Larimer street. Beautiful entrance and feel very welcoming. It would have been nice if their hours of operation can be a bit more flexible for tourists.

This place is so cool! It shows you how to detect counterfeit money by looking at it and even smelling it! Also you can see what $30,000,000 looks like! It is not a large museum, and it is free! You also get a little free bag of shredded money to take home with you! I wouldn’t recommend for kids under 5, just because they wouldn’t be able to really reach or understand the museum. Also you enter from the side of the building, google maps will take you to the front.

It was a nice visit, however it is a very small exhibit which shows some older currency and presents money management to children. The exhibits have no staff support and the staff there are all oriented toward protecting nothing in the area. Its a good free exhibit for children 7-12 and should only take about 15min to complete. Adults interested in American currency will be disappointed.

It’s really a place for kids to go on a field trip to learn about money. For adults, there’s not too much practical information here. Yes you can see how to tell a fake bill from a real bill and also see some older types of currency that you may have never seen before. But most of the museum is about budgeting for larger expenses and how much people can make at certain jobs, coloring stations and what not. I was in and out after 20 mins

Excellent stop to pass a little time and learn a little bit about personal finance and the history of money. You can expect to spend about 30 minutes here as it is not a major attraction that eats up a lot of time. Not a must do in Denver, however it is free and offers an opportunity to learn about financial impacts and history.

Loved our trip to the Museum! Have to go through security so make sure not to take anything like pocket knives and such. Great learning experience! Kids loved it!

Very interesting educational mini museum all about American money. Free. Over 18 must have ID for entry.

Very nice experience! Respectful staff. Though they dont offer a press room tour, it was still a very nice place to stop and find out where and how our currency is handled and manufactured.

Its a pretty underwhelming museum with displays fit more for grade schoolers and younglings. They do give out free bags of shredded money, which I found interesting. Overall, not a real memorable experience.

Ok, its a museum about money, so calm down with the "its boring" nonsense. It is, however, interesting. We spent maybe 45 minutes walking around, got a bag of shredded cash which was pretty cool and then made our way onward. Its a good time. Def worth it if you want to get inside for a little and learn a little something.

The money museum is good for what it is. There is an interesting display chronicling the history of currency in the United States along with an exhibit that teaches you about counterfeits. There are also a few interactive stations that younger children should enjoy.

The museum is little bit small but it was fun. You get a pack of "money" as souvenir.

It's a very informative place with plenty of cool activities that help you learn about money. Just about all of the displays are interactive. You can also get a free bag of shredded money on your way out.

It's a nice little stop if you are in Denver. And it's really cool to see different types of money throughout American history. You get to take a little bag of it with you.

There isn't really a lot here to see and its maybe 30 minutes of your time if your interested in older paper money and info on spotting counterfeits. You can grab a bag of shredded cash (about $165 worth) for free as you exit.

It has a few interesting displays, but it is small and can be perused in 15 minutes. Also very heavy handed in its depiction of credit.

This is a cool quick stop while in town. Small exhibit, would be cool for kids. I appreciate the free souvenir!

Free great quick visit especially if your in the area anyways, amazing to see the old money.

It's fun to learn! Kids had a great time creating their own money

Awesome place to visit while ur downtown and the best part, its Free!!

I am 21 years old and I had a blast at this money museum! You should've seen me acting like a little kid making my own money and celebrating getting my free shredded money hahaha! I had no shame! It was such a fun experience and it was definitely worth the stop. We went completely out of our way to go and I say it is totally worth it. Don't miss it.

Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on a free exhibit, but it was small, brief, and definitely geared towards kids, which is ironic considering I don't think kids would be interested in this stuff in the first place. It felt like airport TSA just to get in the building, which I understand because it's a federal building, but that was even more discouraging. Don't waste your time here.

Very cool Museum, very interesting facts about U.S currency. Kids loved the exhibits that they could understand and that they got a bag of shredded money when we left. Great place to visit with the family for free.

Museum is completely free. Small, good for a quick visit. They have some interesting displays and videos mostly geared towards kids. There's a security check at the entrance so be ready for that. Right on 16th Street, you don't have to go out of your way to get there. I reccomend it.

Loved this small museum, good for kids, shows educational values, some interesting activities as make your own bill, and interesting facts. It made our stay in Denver very pleasant and to get free bag of money and museum is for free ;)

I really enjoyed visiting this museum. It was free. Much more than I expected. I loved the sack of shredded money!

This is the best quick museum for when you have 30 minutes to spare. The information is amazing. It is so cool to see how U.S. money has evolved. They have several interactive components and you can even take a picture with $30,00,000!

I wish there was more to see! We only had access to one main room and a projector tv room, it would be cool to have had tour of the whole building. Otherwise it was a very cool experience! They have high intense security but they are extremely friendly. Cool place to bring your kid. They have interactive activities and it was overall a decent experience. You learn a lot about money!

The free museum is small, but kid friendly. You will see all kinds of money and learn about the Federal Reserve. You get a small bag of free shredded money to take home.

I enjoyed killing time looking at the history of our bank notes and coins. The tour is self guided and requires a security screening before entry. The souvenir bag of shredded money was a nice touch. There are a few activities for children, mostly involving making your own money.

Really underwhelming but I'm at a point in my life where seeing a pile of $30m is like seeing a unicorn in the wild (also free entry and right downtown so it's not like you're going out of the way)

Funny and educational experience about the American money history and monetary monitoring process. The museum is for free (don't forget ID/Passport) and will take you less than an hour

What a find! Takes just a few minutes to explain and lots of fun things to see. Every visitor gets a bag of shredded money!

It was a great experience and great opportunity to learn about the story of our money. Worth it to visit

Free to get into. Pretty good displays of historical money. Just need to pass through security to get into.

Although the museum exhibition itself was small, I would argue that the friendly guards up front & the free admission, that comes with a complimentary bag of shredded currency, was worth it💱💵💰 It is insane to think somewhere in their vault, there's upwards of $400 million cash at all times

Any museum about money is sure to delight, and this is no exception. It's small so you don't need more than an hour. Most of the historic artifacts on display are (unsurprisingly) old banknotes and coins, some dating from the colonial years of the country. The rest of the exhibits describe the history of the Federal Reserve, provide interesting tidbits about the money supply and the economy, and promote financial literacy and independence. To get in, you need a state-issued ID or passport, and you go through an airport-style security check. Admission is free. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. There is no gift shop, but be sure to grab a free souvenir by the entrance, a small bag of shredded banknotes!

What a great place! It definitely gives you the feeling of being inside a major federal building energy wise and what not. The museum is small, takes about an hour to fully tour it and read/look at everything they have on display. Security there is very friendly and will answer your questions. Added benefit is that it is free.

This was a really cool (free) museum. It’s mostly for kids and learning about personal finance but there were interesting parts for adults too. Kids can make their own “money” and all guests can take a bag of discarded, shredded money which was super cool.

To be honest, it was quite underwhelming. I guess I thought there would be more to it. Convenient, since it's right there with the mall, but otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

There is not a whole lot to this free museum...it is very small. It is located in 1 large room before you enter the Federal Reserve Bank. There is one area that has a display of paper bills throughout history. There is a section where there are 2 bills side by side, same denomination. With a magnifying glass that slides across the display you look through it & try to decide which bill is counterfeit. The main draw for this museum is to see the display with $30 million dollars in the display...it is a popular photo spot! Visitors may also get a free small bag of shredded dollars..1 per person as a souvenir.

Fantastic rainy (Ha it never rains in Colorado does it?) or snowy day place to take the kids or even just yourself. There is a lot to learn in this small and self-guided museum. It is incredibly interesting to see the history of the currency of the U.S. in all of it's forms and even get to do what most of will never get to do. Look at what 33 million in 100 dollar bills would look like if it were stacked up. The kids can created their own currency to be creative and get to walk out with about $67 in shredded bills. Good time for a museum that your tax dollars pay for (meaning it is "free" to attend)

Not what I was expecting at all. Thought it would be bigger and would have more on display. Good way to kill time though.
