The Museum of Flight – Transformational Planning Feedback Survey

Length: ~5 minutes

Help us shape The Museum of Flight’s next 10 years!

We are revisiting who we want to be as an educational institution, museum, partner, resource, and neighbor. Our process starts with listening to you, our broader community, about your perspectives and ideas.

The second half of the survey collects demographic information so we know the diversity of perspectives represented. All responses are anonymous.

We appreciate your time! After you complete the survey, you’ll have the option to enter a drawing for a Museum gift-pack including a $25 VISA gift card, The Museum of Flight passes and a gift from the Museum store.
