How to Experience the Spy Museum in Washington, DC

    • 1). Check the hours of operation for the day you plan to visit; some days the museum is open until 6 p.m. and some days until 7 p.m. Try to get there no later than 3 p.m. because you’ll need at least two hours to see everything and you may want to spend some extra time. The last admission is two hours before closing.

    • 2). Enjoy the briefing film and the Spy School exhibit. As you go through the exhibit, be sure to experiment with all the interactive stuff to improve your ability to work undercover. Learn about the tools and technology, then when you’re done, pass through the rest of the museum to learn about spying through the ages. The remaining exhibits will demonstrate how real spies use the tricks of their trade.

    • 3). Pay the additional fee and take part in Operation Spy. You’ll have an assignment and a limited amount of time to complete it before something horrible happens to the world. According to the museum, this is not an exhibit. It’s real spy action and you get to experience it firsthand.

    • 4). Take home some spy gear. The International Spy Museum has a store and you can purchase all kinds of spy stuff. They have special gadgetry for the spy wannabe, such as pens that conceal a jump drive or a voice recording device, a hidden hidey hole that looks like a wall socket, toys, games and even spy music.

    • 5). If you have a really big group (15 or more people) and a lot of cash ($1,600 minimum), organize a scavenger hunt at the museum. The museum offers three different versions during regular hours and after hours. It’s a true test of your spook skills. You need to make reservations for this one.
