Give yourself an hour to read everything, take part in the interactive displays and go back to see things that really interest you. There is a display to lift up a solid gold bar with one hand, which is fun, but I arrived just after a party of college kids so it took a while of waiting in line to get to it. Entry is free and the displays are well laid out; there is airport style security with Xray machines on entry, so don't bring any bulky bags - the security process can be slow if you are behind a large party. It is also worth going into the actual banking hall next door to see the magnificent room.
