I'm going back!I went on a day they were having school trips so it was very crowded. For those of you who plan on taking little ones, strollers aren't allowed, but you can borrow a baby carrier to wear on your back. There are lots of interactive things to do and see. It was very interesting and I really enjoyed the museum. It was my favorite part of the trip. ...SHOW FULL REVIEW

Four fabulous hoursMy wife and I on this Saturday in September trip to Washington DC decided to see two places in particular: the US Postal Museum (don't bother, even at free it isn't worth your time), and the International Spy Museum.
We bought our tickets at 10:45 am and went right up in the elevator (you go to the third floor and work your way down). ...11 of 11 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
Great MusuemAt first, I was very heistate in taking the tour of the museum because of the price, but made the sacrifice and realize it was worth it and then some. So much information and details on spying and the manyu high-tech material (microphones in buttons, spy's different fake profiles, cold war spies, etc.) that was displayed were amazing. It would ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphere

Don't Waste Your Time/MoneyMy husband and I visited the spy museum on the recommendations of several friends. We were very disappointed. Admission was $16 each, in a city where admission to most museums is significantly less, and the museum is most definitely geared to the under 20 set with games, demos and movies taking up most of the space.2 of 5 Yahoo!

Can you say crowded?Although the items and info were cool, if I had known what we were in for, we would have saved our money! The Spy Museum is so crowded that you are bumping into people at every turn and grappling to see the displays over people that linger way longer than needed. Not to mention that most of the customers are so rude and have no regard for anyone ...2 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Fun experience especially for James Bond lovers!This was an interesting place to visit and most especially for my son who's a James Bond fanatic! I was disappointed at how crowded it was, even with timed tickets that were on the expensive side. There were no museum guides to remind visitors that the point in going through the tubes in the ceiling, was to see how good a spy you were (and ...2 of 2 Yahoo!

Don't miss this oneMy husband and I (in our sixties) were not expecting much when we went into this place. That changed-we were there for 5 hours!!
It was informative, interactive, and a whole lot of fun. All ages, I am sure, will enjoy this. Well worth the charge and the gift shop is downright inexpensive--did some Christmas shopping while we were there!!1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue -

Too many people, no sense of direction!For an admission price of $16 each, a timed admission allows approximately 30 people in a room about12x12. The timed admission only seperates groups by 1.5 minutes. After the original seperation all the groups are dumped together into small rooms with small displays and alot of hands on activites. There is no sense of direction and everyone is ...0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue
