International Spy Museum Description
Young James Bonds and Kim Possibles will get a thrill out of this unique museum, which houses an enormous collection of espionage artifacts and hands-on activities. Interactive exhibits put kids undercover, challenging them on their best spy techniques, such as choosing a cover identity and maintaining it. In the Briefing Room, kids will learn the truth -- and myths -- about the spy world, while the School for Spies demonstrates the tricks of the trade.
