nadine_g, Mar 2023

Korean section Indigenous people My grandkid’s like the area for the bats , they went in some many times One lady came up to us and showed us a piece of mental from space

It was a fun time, and the hole experience was good

Robert_Z, Feb 2023

Took my 10 year old granddaughter. She really liked the dinosaur, Egypt and the section that had furniture that I grew up with from 50 to the 90

Awful

LauraP_B, Nov 2022

The museum was closed, it was raining and there was nothing else to do. I still haven't gotten my tickets money back!! 😡😡😡😡

Took my time

Ellen_M, Oct 2022

I liked the fact that I was not rushed through the various galleries. However, I know I missed quite a few displays because there was not clear path to follow.

Beautiful museum

Norma_B, Oct 2022

Awesome Museum!!!! Very impressive artwork Architecture is spectacular, wish we had more time to see more

Outstanding

Jody_V, Sep 2022

The Fantastic Beast exhibit made me jump for joy! My daughter loved the exhibits and dinosaurs. A beautiful building.

We were unable to attend...

Tselane_C, Aug 2022

We were unable to attend and tried to cancel. No one responded and we lost out on our tickets. Such an unpleasant experience.

Very Informative!!

David_L, Jul 2022

Wow the Canadian History along with the history of dino’s and man. They have more artifacts than I have ever seen over the coarse of my 47 years combined. Take your time and enjoy every part.

Much to see

David_B, Jul 2022

The museum includes much culture and artifacts from throughout the world. We spent over seven hours exploring the place. The only negative about the place is that the lighting is dim around some displays which makes it difficult to read the information.

Family bonding

Shiela_R, Jun 2022

It the time well spent with our kids which makes this visit at the Royal Ontario Museum really memorable. It was a very good place for family bonding.

A museum that is enjoyable for all ages

Nadine_L, May 2022

ROM is a great museum that is enjoyable for you and your family. My favorite is the Natural History gallery which boasts our rich biodiversity and how it is continuously being threatened by invasive human beings. Definitely learned a lot from this exhibit!

It is fantastic and a...

It is fantastic and a great contribution to the generations in culture and art. The better in Canada

Fun, interesting, and educational

Greg_G, Apr 2022

Whale exhibit is interesting and informative as were the animals and dinosaurs. Grandkids loved it!!

Truly the best day trip!!

Carrie_W, Mar 2022

The ROM was such an amazing day trip...the whale exhibit was very well done...we both learned so much! The dinosaur exhibit was a big hit too for us...we would definitely go again. Take your time and learn😀

Great day at the ROM!

Jackson_T, Mar 2022

Jackson LOVED the bat cave! He went through many times! The hands on Biodiversity area was great too. The room with all the birds and the area with the insects were very enjoyable. The Great Whale Exhibit was awesome, as was, of course, the dinosaurs! We were pleasantly surprised with how well the cafe flowed and prices were reasonable. We were disappointed things in the gift shop were extremely overpriced. We were hoping to just get a little something to remember our day.

Paid to "skip the line" then had to wait in ticket line for 30 minutes.

Ivan_I, Oct 2021

VIator does not provide "skip the line" service because the code cannot be scanned by the Royal Ontario Museum scanners. Embarrassingly, we were forced to go back to the line for people purchasing tickets then told that out tickets cannot be scanned by the ROM scanners. The ROM staff were generous enough to give us free tickets otherwise we would have lost out on the experience. Useless service. I do not recommend.

The best museem on Toronto

Rodrigue_K, Sep 2021

Love the ROM!

Linda_H, Aug 2021

The museum was fantastic! The Viator process was ridiculous. You don't skip the line, you have to present your download so they can scan it and give you a ticket. The site was easy but a waste of time.

overwheming with history

MICHAEL_B, Sep 2019
