I took a tour which was included in the price, i would have done another if I was not so jet-lagged. Lots to see so decide what you’ll not do. Nice cafe too.

"Definitely worth a visit!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

The Royal Ontario Museum is a worthwhile visit when in Toronto. The Native American section (canoes, Inuit clothing, beadwork, etc.) alone is worth the trip. The current exhibit of Flemish masters (Reubens, van Scorel, etc.), the antiquities collection, and the environmental education section (ecology of the Great Lakes, dinosaurs, etc.) were also well-presented. Staff and volunteers were uniformly welcoming, patient, and helpful. The museum's shop is lovely and offers quality items for all budgets. Some considerations are: The museum's physical design makes it a bit confusing to navigate. The cafe is reasonably priced but offers pretty basic fare.

"Well Worth the Visit"

Reviewed September 09, 2025
We came here primarily to see the Auschwitz exhibition, but came a couple of hours before our reserved slot to see the rest of the museum. The displays are really outstanding. Many taxidermy examples of wildlife from mammals to birds and underwater life. There is a bat cave, but we did not manage to see any of them (just as well?). In addition to natural history there are also large collections of ancient art. We also loved the gemstones--a really large display. The exhibition was very good but also way too crowded even though there were timed entries. We were told to expect about 1 hour to get through the exhibition and it took 2.5 due to the crowds. The Auschwitz exhibition has left already, but I wonder if this problem exists when there are other special exhibitions.

"Crowded chaos"
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed September 01, 2025
I have been going to the ROM for many years, but I have never seen such chaos and overcrowding as I did last week. The Holocaust exhibition was well attended (a good thing), but so crowded (although timed) that all the people with audio devices really slowed down the progress through the exhibits and totally blocked anyone wanting to look more closely at the artifacts in cases or even on the wall. It was a challenge to get to see anything at my own pace. Why does the ROM allow backpacks? Is it a lack of staffing? This is not usual for other museums/galleries and definitely makes for unwanted encounters. Not everything in the museum on pedestals is behind glass, so I wonder how often sculpture, etc. gets damaged. I talked to people in wheel chairs who were frustrated with the situation involving elevators, and even when I used one a couple of times, the strollers were overwhelming. Doesn't anybody have smaller strollers now, which is more appropriate for galleries and museums. The ROM in general was more like a sports centre than a reflective museum: children were running around and having more fun wrestling with each other than enjoying the galleries. I will make sure that I do try for a more quiet time of the year when I go again.

"After Dark party twist"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed August 24, 2025
My daughter and I went to the After Dark party in August and appreciated the innovative approach in merging a dance party with the educational value provided by the museum. The museum displays were interesting providing an evolution of items, such as toy soldiers, cutlery, chairs, etc. It also acknowledges many cultures that make up the Canadian cultures. The After Party certainly made the visit to the ROM informative and interesting. My daughter also enjoyed the complimentary special golden fizz cocktail. Overall, a memorable experience and worth trying.

"Fabulous exhibition but needs a proper window cleaner."
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed August 22, 2025
Finally a great exhibition of first nations stuff. I loved it and also the other exhibitions. I only have 1 complaint, the glass infront of every display were NOT clean. This is not because people put their fingers on it, but because it is not polished well. A milky surface spoiled the otherwise fabulous collection of gemstones. But a really nice museum to spend many hours.
