International Spy Museum


What kid doesn’t grow up wanting to be a spy? Okay, maybe not a spy, but at playing one at some point, or thinking about it, or wondering what it would be like to live a life in the shadows.

The International Spy Museum thrusts you into the world of spies, with interactive displays that teach you how to be a spy. You can even crawl through the museum’s air conditioning ducts, just for the experience.

Learn what to look for as a spy – mysterious people in windows, people carrying similar bags passing too closely to one another, people masked as someone else and more.

Once your training is complete, move on and learn about the history of spies in the US and abroad and how they helped win wars, where they are in the news business and more.

The museum also looks at spies in ancient history, such as the tradition of ninjas (yes, they are spies, not just people who can kick your butt) and the Trojan horse in ancient Greece.

This museum is a lot of fun for people of all ages. Children will love the interactive displays and the “spy school,” so will adults. It's also neat to learn the history of spies (honestly, I didn’t know ninjas were spies, did you?).
