So I decided to swing by Toronto last weekend to meet up with some friends, but we were a bit early. It was a pretty shitty day – wet, windy and cold – and by the time we got through all the traffic it was already around 6, which meant most fun places were already closed! How lame! Except, well, for the ROM, or Royal Ontario Museum! So after some typical pub food and a few drinks, we went inside the ROM to look at the dinosaurs!
The ROM building is quite a looker! It’s crazy shaped (as you can kinda see from the first picture) and it’s even crazier inside. The hallways are all weird shaped, and you hit dead ends randomly! Also, because of all the dead ends, you feel like you’ve missed random exhibits here and there – what a mess! Anyway, aside from the weird design, the exhibits were pretty cool. There’s a whole floor on animals, then another floor on dinosaurs and other ancient stuff. There’s quite literally 4-5 floors of exhibits, and each floor is reasonably huge – so there’s definitely tons of stuff to see. Unfortunately, we only had about an hour to explore since we were meeting up with others soon. Anyway – if you’re bored in Toronto and it’s raining outside – give the ROM a spin… it’ll definitely kill 1-2 hours. :)
