It started out interesting enough
It was very interesting about a third of the way through but then it just started looking like someone's garage sale. I eventually lost interest and hastened toward the exit.

still waiting...
I took my son last summer and thought it would be great. Needless to say, as soon as you come out of the elevator and step out, your waiting for something grand to happen. It was boring and dull. My son is 11 and we were both disappointed...

All you ever wanted to know about ESPIONAGE

Beats the FBI Tour!
Well, since September 11th, they're not letting people in for the FBI tour anymore, so the Spy Museum is really the place to get a feel for the history of espionage. Although it could be the most fun ...

Go undercover at the International Spy Museum
I consider myself a museum expert, and I adore this museum. Once you get over the expensive admission fee (Hey, you're not at the Smithsonian anymore, Toto) and the crazy crowds, it's museum-tastic. ...

Only for WWII/Cold War Buffs
Please don't take anyone born after the fall of the Berlin Wall to this place it will bore them terribly and make them never appreciate the history of the cold war era. It's just a bunch of old equipment and electronics from last century (who wants to tour a 1955 Radioshack?). Bills itself on a Bond/24 thrills and spills, turns out the real life stuff is well documented elsewhere or a snooze fest of what people were doing in the back parlor of there home in the 40's. Even if you care about the history, you'd be better served at Air & Space, American History, and Holocaust then here. The all have better equipment, better history, and better personal stories. If you like to watch the History Channel late night on a Fri. night, you'll be ok.

Fun Place To Check Out
A different kind of experience than the Smithsonians. It does have a steep entrance fee but some of the stuff there is really cool. It is in an area of town that has lots of great stuff to do with Chinatown and The Verizon Center right there down the street.

Release Your Inner James Bond
I love James Bond movies and spy stories so the International Spy Museum is my kind of playground. Yes, you have to cough up $18, which is kind of a downer considering you're otherwise surrounded by free and equally cool museums in the area. But the Spy Museum is incredibly interesting from top to bottom, and the level of interactivity that it offers for adults and kids alike will prevent any visitor from getting bored here. If you're fascinated by the goings on behind the CIA or the history of spies during the World Wars, go here. There are also plenty of interesting documentaries and videos that play throughout the building and tons of very cool, real artifacts from actual spies and espionage organizations.American Express
