About

The Royal Ontario Museum connects people to their world and to each other

Story

Opened in 1914, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) showcases art, culture, and nature from around the globe and across the ages. One of North America's most renowned cultural institutions, Canada's largest museum is home to a world-class collection of more than six million objects and specimens, featured in 40 gallery and exhibition spaces. As the country’s preeminent field research institute and an international leader in new and original findings in biodiversity, palaeontology, earth sciences, the visual arts, material culture and archaeology, the ROM plays a vital role in advancing our global understanding of the artistic, cultural and natural world. The Renaissance ROM expansion project (2007) merged the iconic architectural heritage of the original building with the Studio Daniel Libeskind-designed Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. A distinctive new symbol of Toronto for the 21st century, the Crystal marked the beginning of a new era for the ROM as the country's premier cultural and social destination.

We visited the Royal Ontario Museum ROM today and had a wonderful time! It was such an enjoyable and enriching experience for the whole family. There was so much to see and explore, from fascinating exhibits and history to beautiful art and incredible collections.nnWe especially enjoyed learning new things while walking through the different galleries. It’s a great place for both children and adults, and there’s something interesting around every corner.nnWe had a lovely day at ROM and would definitely recommend it to families, students, and anyone who enjoys history, culture, art, and discovery!
The ROM was one of the absolute best stops on our family winter break trip. From the moment you walk up and see the dramatic architectural design, you know you're in for a treat. Inside, the exhibits are beautifully presented, offering a fascinating journey through natural history and global cultures. It's incredibly family-friendly, well-paced, and offers plenty of space to explore at your own speed. It sparked so many great conversations among the kids and provided the perfect, enriching indoor escape. Highly recommended for any family itinerary!
It was absolutely wonderful. So worth it. Perfect for all ages and interesting for everyone. It was a tiny bit crowded on the main floor but once we got up to different floors it was perfect. There are ramps and elevators which is good. I absolutely loved the exhibits that displayed different cultures and some of their history. My favorite was seeing the Albatross! So cool. The rocks and gemstones were also amazing. Lots of things to see and learn about. There were a good number of washrooms around the place and a food court type of thing which is good. There was a place to put baby strollers and some kiddie spaces. You could check in your coat and bag if ever too. Really the only thing would be the gift shop which by itself was great! But it was a bit confusing, what I understood was that you can't get back into the museum if you go into the gift shop unless you have a stamp? I'm still unsure but it's fine we were done anyway so it's all good! The price was also really good for youth 18-24, like 11 $ each. Overall I definitely recommend and would love to go back at some point!!
Very nice museum. The dinosaur collection alone is worth seeing. Everything is well maintained and organized, signage is good, and it is not too crowded. There’s all kinds of things in addition to the dinosaur collection, making for a good 2-3 h trip if I’m Toronto. I decided to walk back from there to downtown via university of Toronto and Chinatown which made for a half day excursion.
This museum has got so many informative and detailed pieces. This place would be loved by the people who are really into museums. There are a lot of collections right from dinosaurs parts to weapons and armours used in war. If you want to read each and every information in detail, it would consume a whole day to do that.nI’ve used the city pass to visit this place. Reservation is required so book the tickets ahead. People and staff are friendly and very informative. Washrooms were clean.nThe place gets busier on a weekend.nThere is a cafe and also free water tap. I really loved the part where few people sat and were painting the pictures of the items kept in the museum. Really enjoyed visiting this place.nThe kids would absolutely love the dinosaur and other biodiversity figurines.
