"March Break Fun!"

Reviewed March 14, 2025 NEW
Enjoyable and educational time with our 3 grandkids! Great interactive experiences for the kids. Meeting the experts in each area added to knowledge of our budding scientists! I even learned quite a few new things. Staff was excellent in all areas and helpful in guiding us to the different activities. Lunch at the Druxys cafe was a nice break. Lots of fun and learning too!

Loved it but as with all major museums there’s a lot to see and it can get overwhelming. The museum is beautifully curated, spacious with lovely staff everywhere ready to answer any questions

"Very uncultured security check!"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 03, 2025
We have family membership and this year we deeply regret it - my husband and I reserved out tickets in advance and were asked to leave at the door both because of our keychains. During this unfortunate event, the security staff were rude and snarky, making us feel like criminals. I would have gladly left my keychain at home, and spared myself the humiliation, if ONLY we were notified about the new and strict security measures at the point of reserving the tickets. It is a bit late when you are already at the door and they inform you to "throw away your belongings or turn away". I hope people without membership who pay for a ticket ahead of time and travel from farther away do not get bullied this way. Our happy place to go during long winter months has just turn sour.

"Auschwitz exhibition and doors to the ROM"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 01, 2025
Auschwitz exhibition is excellent- took 2.5 hours. Take your time. Beware of automatic doors to ROM. They will crush you if you are slow. They do not sense if someone is in the doorway and will not reopen. We had to pull them away from a family member who was using a mobility device and got trapped by closing doors.

"Meh"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 27, 2025
The process on entry was great. There is not much guidance but a brochure and noone super friendly and helpful. The museum itself has some artifacts of interests, and a new area around the dinosaurs, but perhaps comparing to other major cities and their museums, this is a disappointing experience. Not very interactive and not very interesting. The layout was o.k. not as crowded as other museums around the world. It's very expensive for what you get for your dollar.

"Hostile, abusive security protocols"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 06, 2025
The new security protocols at the entrance are so abusive, so incompetently implemented, and staffed by the surliest, most hostile people I have ever encountered in a museum. Senior ROM staff need to scrap this immediately and go back to the drawing board. I am a longtime member and will not be renewing if this continues.

"Great for indoor family activity"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 03, 2025
The ROM is 4 levels of diverse art, history and natural displays. I found the ROM more family friendly given the natural history artifacts would be of more interest to young children. If you are are traditional art lover looking for paintings and scupltures, I found the ROM lacking.

The Royal Ontario Museum is Canada's largest museum. It makes science, art and archeology exhibits accessible and appealing. The building itself is a wonder! It is a series of prismatic shapes spilling out onto Bloor Street. Another highlight is the Hyacinth Gloria Chen Crystal Court which is a four-story atrium with aluminum bridges that connects the old and the new wings the museum.
