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

I have visited many museums in both large and small cities both in North America and Europe. The ROM compares very favourably in stature to some of the famous museums and the new architecture is quite stunning. I was impressed by the integration of both the elegance of the old and modernity of the new wings. L.H more

My geologist wife and myself attended several functions,i.e. special tours, fund raisers, game nights, and were blown away by the staff and their knowledge and apparent dedication to visitors at the ROM. The Mining exhibit and the diamond presentation are mind stimulating and the actual sample of a meteor is something to touch . The new addition adds a bit... more

We used to go to the ROM frequently before the renovations. The kids loved the Dinosaurs and there was a large activity/discovery area for children. Lunch was convenient, as Druxy's was located inside the museum. That has all changed; the dinosaurs were relegated to a small chopped-up space, which is invaded by the metal structure and sharp corners, almost like... more

I am not tsure I like the new face of ROM , doesny blend well!I visited in January 2009. I had not visited ROM for some time and enjoyed the parts I could see, but $ 20 is a bit steep especially since many of the displays were closed due to renovations. At one point the loud construction noises really... more

For all of the hype and everything, the museum wasn't really as good as I had hoped. Things were poorly labeled, not especially well displayed and there was almost no interpreters or anything to help with questions. I was also really disappointed to see what the new addition to the original museum building looked like. It is a garish out-growth... more
