After being away from the city for some time, I decided to write a review for this particular institution. Housing an interesting, diverse and well-presented array of collections and artefacts, the Royal Ontario Museum provides for a worthy diversion within the city. Compared to the price paid for similar institutions across the world, the entrance price is fair. In addition... more

We probably didn't pick the best day for our visit as it was a half price friday. Still, I was very impressed by the displays there and saw some very good exhibits. I also loved the screens that offered little snippets of film in relation to the things on display. I also liked the variety of things on display such... more

My 5 year old enjoyed this museum as well as the adults. There is a lot of interactive children activities on the 2nd floor. Definitely worth a visit. Purchase the CityPass if you plan to visit the main attractions in Toronto. We did not bother renting a vehicle on this visit, the metro transit is so good. This museum is... more

ROM is a world-class museum. It is easily accessible via TTC (get off at the museum station) its a short walk (less than 2 mins). 1. If you can afford to visit the special exhibitions, go ahead and do so. They are well worth the extra few dollars. However, some exhibitions may not allow you to take pictures. 2. Its... more

I was at the ROM on the weekend and my admission was covered in my City Pass package, which I recommend if you're sight seeing in TO. The ROM was okay, not great. Like the others, the building was a little confusing and the map didn't help. I couldn't really tell if we'd seen it all or not. Some of... more

The Royal Ontario Museum, commonly referred to as the ROM, is a real jewel. On the first level were Asian exhibits – Japan, China, and Korea – and sections devoted to Canadian history and the first occupants of Canada. The second level contained exhibits dealing with dinosaurs, mammals, birds, and a bat cave. In addition, this level had exhibits on... more

From the dinosaur exhibit to the Egyptian displays to the mineral and gem gallery, I enjoy the ROM again and again. The children's area(s) are a hit too, for both kids and adults. Where else can you see bees at work, walk through a bat cave or any of the other unique displays? My daughter loves it. It's also easy... more

It's true, you can't visit one of the largest cities in the world and not visit the ROM. They have the exhibits divided into sections so it is easy to explore the things you want and skip those you don't. We saw so much it was like visiting several different museums all in one day. We especially enjoyed the gem... more
