Nice museum

Kristine_M, Sept 2023

It's has so many exhibits it's hard to see it all. Easy to get to on subway.. Did not see a moose which I thought they should have.

Amazing collection. Not...

John_G, Aug 2023

Amazing collection. Not good for seniors because of hard-to-read descriptions behind blurry glass. Not enough benches to take small rest breaks.

Excellent musium

Yalew_A, Aug 2023

Toronto Gem

Leslie_U, July 2023

This museum has everything! Historical artifacts, dinosaurs, beautiful antiques and more. A must do when visiting Toronto!

Fun day to spend the day

Cindy_K, July 2023

Wonderful museum to spend the day! I went with my 2 young children for the T Rex exhibit and they had such a great time. Additionally the regular exhibits were just as excellent.

Great Experience

Bernadette_L, July 2023

Great Museum to visit. Went on Canada Day and it was crowded! It was a Free Day, no charge so I didn’t need to buy my tickets. We enjoyed our visit anyway.

Fabulous museum

Kathy_R, June 2023

Fantastic museum. The museum site said they were sold out but I was able to get a ticket on Viator. The museum is huge and the displays are beautiful

What a shame

Brenda_M, June 2023

Pro: Impressed with the amount of actual artifacts and fossils on display. Cons: Need better control of school groups - kids screaming and running around, teachers/group leaders didn’t keep them in designated areas which made it tough to navigate around them. Apparently it’s common for teachers/guides to leave their backpacks on the ground (when they leave for other areas of the museum!) with “do not touch” signs on them - this is a bad practice! More than few people reported it as a concern. While there, workers were setting up for musicians and had tables and chairs rolling through the corridors blocking pathways and the ability to see some exhibits. Super noisy, annoying and terribly unorganized.

It was educational for us

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, Sept 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, July 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, July 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, June 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.

Easy Peasy

Nicole_K, May 2022

Awesome time ! Affordable ! Easy way to buy tickets and recover tickets when it’s time for the event ! I got a text message with a link to my tickets ! It was awesome and easy!

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!
