Royal Ontario Museum Reviews

out of 5 At the ROM, I always have the best time. There are always excellent special exhibits in addition to their normal exhibits. It's incredibly orderly and spotless. It's a great place for adult as also child. The area showcasing the butterfly & cat wild exhibit was i loved it since everything was beautifully maintained had excellent information next to each item and created awe-inspiring displays. Those how are interested in history should allow three to four hours to see every area of the museum. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

I had a fantastic experience at the Royal Ontario Museum! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. There’s so much to learn, with exhibits that cover a wide range of interests—from history to natural science. The museum is well-organized, and every corner offers something new and fascinating. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves to explore and expand their knowledge.

Fantastic displays that keep you wandering the museum for hours on end. Something for everyone to enjoy from rocks and minerals (even meteorites) to dinosaurs. Art from all over the world from different centuries. Amazing history is found and taught here. I spent 4 hours at the museum but could have easily spent the entire day here with how many outstanding things there were to see. They offer hands-on opportunities for education, which is great for all ages. I can't say enough wonderful things about the ROM. It is a must-see!

One of the most beautiful, diverse and informative museums I‘ve visited so far. The temporary “Wild Cats“ exhibition (August 2024) was so sweet, too. I also appreciated the the variety in architecture depending on the different themes/time periods of the exhibitions. Overall a great experience, it‘s just too much to see for one day (if you plan on reading many of the information signs).

I visited the museum last week and it was an incredible experience. The place is beautiful, very large, and has many interesting exhibits about different cultures. I recommend starting the tour from the top floor and gradually making your way down. If you can, visit the museum in the morning to explore it at a leisurely pace and fully enjoy everything it has to offer. The animal and dinosaur sections are impressive, and the first floor, dedicated to Chinese culture, is fascinating. Highly recommended!
