Washington DC's most fun museum - The Spy Museum (keep it secret;)

The Spy Museum Washington DC
700 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 20024

The Spy Museum in Washington DC may be the most fun museum I've ever been to. First you're submerged into the bowls of the building and take a quick psych test that will assess your strengths and assign your cover which you must memorize. That's funny, I love Brazil and wanted to be Indiana Jones when I was a kid. Anyway once inside you are free to explore a massive collection of real spy tech from over the century, and interactive displays that test your skill at decoding and espionage in a frighteningly real way. Immersion is the key here, and it is impossible not to get a glimpse of what this dangerous world was like first hand. The whole museum in effect is like some giant game that is constantly testing you and you can't help but feel like someone is watching with the possibility of recruiting you for special ops assignments. In the end I didn't make the grade which was fine with me cause I had a brunch date.
