Fall into Economics at the Economy Museum

The Economy Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is running Fall into Economics through the end of October and into November. It's a weekday offering, which means it's built for families to drop in during the school day rather than fighting for a spot on a Saturday afternoon.

The whole point of the program is to take the museum's subject matter out of the galleries and weave it into the public's daily routine. Instead of just walking through the exhibits, the activities are designed to bring money and math skills into the conversation in a way that makes sense for kids and parents together. It's less about staring at displays and more about doing something with the information.

Because it's a weekday thing, you've got a good window to work with. It runs Monday through Friday, from October 26 to November 2, so you can pick whatever day fits your schedule best. If you're out with the kids during the week, it's an easy way to turn a random Tuesday or Wednesday morning into something they'll actually remember.

Admission is free, and it's open from 9 AM to 2 PM. Since it's at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, you're getting the museum's focus on money and math without having to spend a dime to get through the door.
