Part James Bond, part Jack Bauer and part “Lie to Me,” the exhibit gives eager spy-wannabes of all ages an opportunity to experience the latest spy gadgets and techniques.
The interactive Science of Spying exhibit is part James Bond, part Jack Bauer and part “Lie to Me.” It gives eager spy-wannabes of all ages an opportunity to experience the latest spy gadgets and techniques - including remote-control spy planes, night-vision goggles, biometric scanning, infiltrating computer systems and the dolphin spy camera. They also learn how to detect liars, crack safes and find hidden clues. Visitors begin to find out about the plans of the shadowy organization OSTECK and follow the clues to uncover the secret location of its HQ.

Science of Spying is fun, educational and is fascinating in the way it brings families together. I watched as adult after adult (Dad, Mom, older brother/sister, uncle etc.) worked his or her way through the exhibit with a youngster alongside. You could see the intensity with which child and older person studied how to break codes, spot a liar, do a brain scan, sift through (fake) garbage to learn clues and lots more. SOS isn't easy, so it takes a team, and it is wonderful to see those teams made up of families. I don't think an evening in front of the TV ever inspired this kind of camaraderie.
