Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)

The ROM’s free lane is Third Tuesday Nights Free: general admission 4:00–8:30 p.m. the third Tuesday each month, advance timed tickets required on rom.on.ca (released about two weeks ahead; no walk-ins). Special exhibitions are excluded or surcharged. The museum at 100 Queen’s Park is otherwise ticketed; Mondays are typically closed on the regular clock. First-timers on free night: book early, aim for dinosaurs or one cultural wing, and expect lines at peak. This is a timed free evening, not a drop-in.
