Federal Reserve Bank of New York Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 2024?

Though it’s free to visit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a guided tour can help bring the clutch of executive offices and international organizations crowding the financial district to life. The most affordable options are around US$5 for self-guided audio tours, while shared group experiences typically start from US$30.

Q: Is there a security screening process before entering the Federal Reserve Bank?

Yes, security screenings are required for all visitors to the Federal Reserve Bank. Everyone over the age of 16 needs to show an official government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. Any items that law enforcement officers consider dangerous, inappropriate, or unlawful—such as weapons or drugs—will not be allowed in.

Q: Are photos or videos allowed inside the Federal Reserve Bank?

No, photography and recording of any kind are strictly prohibited in the Federal Reserve Bank. Although cameras are allowed inside the building, they must be stored or have a lens cap on them at all times. The same applies to cell phones—you must store them in a bag or pocket for the duration of your visit. Violators may be asked to leave.

Q: Where is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York located?

The Federal Reserve Bank takes up a full block of the financial district—making it hard to miss. Head to the entrances at 44 Maiden Lane or 33 Liberty Street, which are only a short walk from the Fulton Street subway station, which is served by the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z trains.

Q: Is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York open to the public?

Currently, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Museum and Learning Center is only open to school groups and student programs, and tours of the famous Gold Vault are not guaranteed. The New York Fed may close to the public at any time for security purposes. Be sure to check the website for current opening policies before planning your visit.

Kevin is the best!!!

Kevin was amazing! I had my kids with me (8, 12, 20). It was windy and cold and he would accommodate my littlest when she would just say “i’m cold” we would do lot of the talking and story telling indoors and went outside to show us the what he was talking about. He helped take family pictures. Had a lot of good historical tidbits that even peeked the interest of my little ones. Super friendly! Will definitely recommend Kevin to everyone!!!
