Visit the Money Museum

Bring the family to explore currency and finance at this free museum housed in the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. There's no need to purchase tickets—just walk in during operating hours. You'll go through airport-style security screening upon entry, which is a straightforward process to expect. The exhibits are self-guided, so you can move through at your own pace and focus on whatever interests your kids most. To enhance your visit, download the museum's free app, which offers guided tours and scavenger hunts to keep children engaged. This is a great option for families curious about money, economics, or local landmarks. Since admission is completely free and no advance registration is required, it's an easy outing to fit into your weekend plans. Just remember that the last entry time is 3:30 pm, so plan accordingly if you want the full experience.
