Royal Ontario Museum: Self-Guided Audio Guide to Dinosaurs, Totem Poles & the Crystal
2 hours
About this experience
Natural history, world cultures and art on four floors, from a 27-metre dinosaur to a Chinese general's tomb. You can't see it all in one visit, and you don't need to: walk into any room and hear the story behind what is in front of you. Short on time? Pick a ready-made route: Three Floors of Giants (75 min), The ROM in an Hour (60 min), How It Got Here (50 min), Small Things, Big Stories (35 min). Or ignore them and wander. An audio guide on your phone: 33 room stories and 58 narrated pieces across 4 floors, about 56 minutes of English audio, with a map of the building by floor. Open the room you are standing in and press play. No group, no headset to rent, no set start time. Museum admission is not included. This is an independent guide, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Royal Ontario Museum.
