Royal Ontario Museum

The lofty mission of The Royal Ontario Museum is to "inspire wonder and build understanding of human cultures," which is certainly possible with more than six million objects on display! The ROM (rhymes with "tom"), as it's affectionately called, is Canada's largest museum. Among the many highlights are the world-renowned T. T. Tsui Galleries of Chinese Art, which contain priceless Ming and Qing porcelains, embroidered silk robes, and objects made of jade and ivory. Galleries are devoted to subjects from Ancient Egypt, Roman Empire, Canadiana and even Bats.

Casa Loma

Casa Loma can't be missed, even if you tried. Perched atop a hill in the north end, Casa Loma draws about 275,000 visitors a year who look up and proclaim, "It's a castle in the middle of the city!" Casa Loma was built by Canadian financier Sir Henry Pellatt between 1911 and 1914, to fulfill his childhood wish for a castle. It may appear anachronistic now, but it hasn't lost its majestic charm, or the secret passageways that continue to excite the younger crowd. It even looks a little spooky at night, with its lights reflecting up into the dark sky. Between May and October, you can visit the five acres of lush gardens surrounding the castle.

Ontario Science centre

In 1964, when the Ontario Science centre was commissioned, "participatory" and "hands-on" were new and, to many, highly suspicious words; science museums were still reliant on labels and display cases. To involve large numbers of people in the process of learning, the OSC conveys the excitement felt by scientists as they break through to new discovery. Inside and outside, the building engages all the senses and encourages exploration and participation. Exhibit halls are designed to human scale, and intermediate areas provide space where visitors can pause in front of the magnificent landscape, reflect upon what they have experienced so far, and anticipate what lies ahead. Includes OMNIMAX Theatre (additional charge).
