A completely free admission museum with four floors of interactive exhibits on Malaysian currency and economic history. The tunnel installation (reportedly built for over RM1 million) is the standout feature. Stroller-accessible. Free parking.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 6 and above who can engage with the interactive learning format around money, Malaysian history, and economics. The completely free admission is a genuine draw for budget-conscious families planning a full educational outing.

β€œI went on a Friday, so it wasn’t too crowded. The staff there were all very friendly. At the entrance, there’s a security guard who checks your bag, then you go to the registration counter to sign in and get a short briefing. Don’t worry, entry is completely free. You can only bring your wallet and phone inside…just put your bag in the locker, and don’t worry, the lockers are free too. Overall, it was really great. There’s also a section for children on the lower level, plus a cafΓ© and a souvenir shop. But during my recent visit, Level 3 was closed for maintenance πŸ₯² Hopefully next time I I can come again and explore Level 3. Highly recommended to visit this place!”

β€œGreat place for families. Free entrance and free parking. Kids can play and explore, especially the tunnel area which is super impressive (heard it costs over RM1 million!). A very good museum to introduce kids to the history of Ringgit in a fun and interactive way. Worth a visit.”

β€œIt was a bit confusing at first to find parking, the sign for parking should be a bit bigger since it's passing another building to get there. There's a bag check before entering and you need to sign in and asked to either get locker for your bags or put in the boxes up front, you're only allowed to have your wallet and handphone. You will need to give a deposit in cash to get a locker. Overall it's pretty nice and educational especially since it's free admission. There are four floors including the ground but at the time the top floor was still closed. There's also a small room where they have daily activities set up for the kids to do. That day it was button making. The kids and their aunt enjoyed it. Overall it was fun and I highly recommend it to those wanting to do something with the kids without breaking the wallet.”

Overview

Bank Negara Museum offers free admission and free parking across four floors of interactive exhibits where children engage with currency history through hands-on games rather than passive displays. The tunnel installation is the centrepiece - visually impressive and consistently cited by families. Bag check and registration at entry add 10-15 minutes before you reach the exhibits. Only wallets and phones are permitted inside; bags go into provided storage or coin-deposit lockers.
