Operation Secret Slumber at the International Spy Museum –Washington, DC

Your littlest secret agents have a mission, and it takes place as soon as the museum doors have been locked for the night. Take on a secret identity, gather intelligence about real spy skills and get ready to break secret codes, interrogate real spies and catch a mole. Be prepared for a dramatic finale as the sun comes up.
