Frequently Asked Questions
People Also Ask
Q:How long do you spend in the International Spy Museum?
A:Plan on spending two to three hours visiting the Spy Museum. There are dozens of interactive exhibits and plenty to read about and explore, so you want to treat yourself to an unrushed experience. International Spy Museum tickets are valid for the whole day, and you can re-enter with your ticket after leaving.
Q:What age is good for the International Spy Museum?
A:The museum is designed for visitors aged 9 and up, but all ages are welcome. Younger children may feel restless seeing the collections on both floors—for younger kids, target the fifth floor and skip most of the fourth. Download the Family Highlight Guide from the museum website ahead of time.
Q:Does the International Spy Museum have a restaurant or café?
A:No. The museum doesn’t have a café or restaurant, although the Spy Museum Store stocks chilled drinks and some snacks. For heartier bites, you’ll need to leave the museum (re-entry with ticket is allowed). The L’Enfant Plaza food court is a stone’s throw away, as are other dining options.
Q:Does the International Spy Museum offer guided tours?
A:Yes. Guided International Spy Museum tours cost extra, and they’re only available for private events (think corporate gathering vs. kid birthday). Guided tours are often hosted by former intelligence officers or historians, so they offer a behind-the-scenes peek at the world of espionage. Scavenger hunts (18 and up recommended) can also be arranged.
Q:Is the International Spy Museum accessible?
A:Yes. The Spy Museum is accessible to visitors using wheelchairs, and a limited number of manual wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis from the Information Desk. The museum has an elevator between floors and exhibits and accessible restrooms. A complimentary tour for blind visitors is available on request.
Q:What is the best day to visit the International Spy Museum?
A:There’s no wrong time to visit the International Spy Museum. Ticket entry is timed, and advanced purchase is recommended—with tickets available up to 30 days ahead. The museum is popular on weekends, so come on a quieter weekday if possible. To further avoid the crowds, try the beginning of the day.
