International Spy Museum
It's no secret, kids love to play spy. At the International Spy Museum in the Penn Quarter, your kids can enjoy crawling through the ductwork, finding silver flies that are transmitting information on the wall while acting as a junior James Bond. For an added $10, teens can put their espionage skills to the test by participating in an Operation Spy mission with the opportunity to crack a safe and even conduct a polygraph test. The Spy Cafe is the perfect stop post-mission for hungry kids.
