Spies & Secret Agents

Travel back in time to uncover the mysterious world of code-breaking and spying. We start with practicing the Phonetic Alphabet so everyone can talk like a secret agent; then explore the history of coded messages and the different methods used to send them.

After lunch, we visit the World War II and Cold War eras, meeting some real spy radios we have brought with us, that last saw action when they were parachuted behind enemy lines for real over seventy years ago!

Towards the end of the day, you'll shift back into the 21st Century and use some of the latest spying equipment available to bug the Ranger's office and listen in to their conversation!
