A great interactive museum to learn about economy and its principles. This museum is housed in the Federal reserve building of St Louis. Such a beautiful architecture and marble building. Entrance to the building is highly secured yet security is welcoming and greets you with a smile. The museum itself is very interactive an engages visitors of all ages. There is principles of economy such as value of currency and its circulation, aspects of commodities purchases (including stock market). We had a blast attempting to lift up an actual gold bar. I noticed kids laughing and being highly competitive in the buy and sell commodity interactive exhibit. The curators of this museum did a really good job. A rather small souvenir shop is present at the end of your tour of the museum. Even better, the museum is free.

This is a very nice, small museum located downtown. The admission is free! There are a lot of interesting and interactive things to do. I would plan on 1-2 hours to go through everything.

Super friendly staff, from the officers that checked us in to the civilian staff, they couldn't be any friendlier. There are plenty of interesting facts to learn about the cash we carry in our pockets along with information on the Federal Reserve and the role they play in finance. Stop in it's free and interesting.

Interesting museum for people who want to know more about the monetary policy of US. It has an activity of supply and demand which need someone that explains it to the people that visit. But in general it has a lot information of banking and finance. It's a place that can be a first step to introduce economics concepts to kids, teenagers and adults.

What a FREE, fun, educational and interesting museum for elementary school age through adults. Loved trying to lift the pure gold bar and playing the trading pit game (I lost...badly!). Learned a lot about bartering (hey, I wrote a book about that) and even got to use my nose on the smell exhibit. Fun to create money with my own photo on it. Great experience!

Who knew such a place existed? We saw it our first day walking around downtown St. Louis and decided to come on our last day. It's at the Federal Reserve so it's all secure to enter. It's free. It's fun. It educates you about things you didn't realize you needed to know about the economy and what the Federal Reserve actually does.

I've lived in St. Louis my entire life and never heard of the Economy Museum. The best part? It's free! We paid for parking in advance using a parking app called SpotHero. There are many garages downtown where you can reserve a spot. We reserved a spot for $8. Inside, we learned a lot about the economy, then and now, including how heavy a vault door is and how heavy a gold bar is when trying to lift it! There were so many interesting tidbits about history, and it was really cool to learn about it. At the end, kids get a bag of shredded money, and you can see a huge map of where everyone visited from. No one had visited from our area in St. Louis, so we were able to put the first sticker down! So cool. If you can visit, do it – it's a blast!
