We visited the Bureau yesterday - 2 adults and an infant - and had a great time. It was so interesting seeing where our $$'s come from. It is also a great thing to do on either a wet or hot day as it is all inside! As a bonus, the tour is free. It was quiet when we went,... more

Both kids and adults in our family loved this place. Make sure and arrive early and there was quite a wait when we left late morning but it was during spring break. Movie and tour are both great. The week we were there a person from the DC money recovery team was there showing how they piece together money that... more

Have lived in the area for years and just recently took a tour for the first time. Plan to go back and take other friends and family! It was great!!! Location is easy to find (signs along roadways) and not far off the main interstate. You are shuttled from the parking area to the main visitor center where you are... more

A great way to spend a few hours. It was a very interesting tour, very friendly staff. The movie and guided tour were wonderful, the exhibits on how money is printed were very informative. It it wasn't for TripAdvisor I would never have known about this tour. more

We went here on a Monday morning in October and the place was nearly empty. We took the free tour (walk-up, no reservations needed) and it was well worth it. You get to see money when it's a blank sheet to the final product. There are also interesting exhibits, a small movie theather and a very nice gift shop where... more

I have lived in Ft. Worth my entire life and when the Bureau of Engraving & Printing opened, it was on my list of things to do. Needless to say it never happened. Recently I had family come to town so I had a reason to go, it was extrememly interesting. We had an array of ages in our group... more

Fascinating tour and teaching displays about currency. No waits! No problems getting in! Efficient flow of tours and friendly staff all around. Don't miss the display about ruined currency and the work they do to replace your money if it is damaged. more

In this post 911 world, everything is highly controlled here. You enter the visitor's center, you cannot take cell phones in - leave them and other banned objects inside your car. This security clearance is very similar to the airport in the fact I had to take off my shoes because there must be metal in them. (I saw others... more

I was shocked when I read the reviews of the sister facility in Washington D.C. (I haven't been there). This facility was awesome in comparison to the negative experiences of those reviewers. We encountered only friendly, helpful guides, no "impatient" or "irritable" employees at this facility. There were no crowds or lines (March 2008) - even for the last tour... more
