The Royal Ontario Museum is an absolutely necessary stop on any trip to Toronto. A strikingly beautiful building with a vast and fascinating collection. We were fortunate to be visiting on the day of their Block Party, when the museum is open late and they had a dance party/musicians and tons of food and drink options alongside the exhibits. Such an awesome time. The musicians and performances wer...

We completely lost track of time while enjoying the exhibitions in the different galleries. We spent three hours inside the museum and still couldn’t see it all.

Even though I had only about an hour to explore (as the museum closes at 5:30 PM on Sundays), I was able to see a wide variety of fascinating exhibits. From historical ...

Great museum with impressive architecture - the crystal addition is stunning! Loved the dinosaur gallery and diverse exhibits covering natural history and world cultures. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Docking one star because it gets very crowded on weekends and some exhibits feel a bit dated plus admission fees is little high. Still, there’s plenty to see and it’s a good option to kill ...

We were pleasantly surprised to see so much under one roof. It took about four hours to visit all the exhibits. I am sure we missed a few a long the way, as this place is enormous and very busy. It was a great learning experience. The ROM is definitely worth checking out and we look forward to exploring the museums again in the future.
