The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 5:30pm and closed on Mondays, according to the museum’s official hours. It is Canada’s largest museum, housing collections spanning natural history, world cultures, and art.

Most visitors spend two to three hours exploring the galleries, which include dinosaur fossil skeletons, a bat cave, and rotating world culture exhibits. The museum’s distinctive crystal-shaped addition on Bloor Street is itself a notable piece of Toronto architecture.

On the third Tuesday of each month, the ROM offers free after-hours access from 4pm to 8:30pm, a popular option for visitors who want to explore without daytime crowds. The museum sits directly above Museum subway station, making it easy to reach from anywhere in the city.
