Canada · MUSEUM TOURS IN TORONTO
The good museum tours in Toronto fill weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
A one-day Royal Ontario Museum ticket in Toronto, packed with Barosaurus, a Ming tomb mound, and world-class natural history.
“The exhibits were all extremely immersive and I enjoyed being able to see and experience the deep historical elements as well as the artifacts from all over the world. I intend to go back as I only saw and engaged with a fraction of what was on display.”
Royal Ontario Museum admission in Toronto with a mobile ticket. See dinosaurs, art, culture, and nature in 3 to 4 hours.
“One of the best museums I’ve visited. 4 floors of great exhibits. I do recommend paying for the extra exhibits. They are so beautiful! I’m so glad they were open on a Monday!”
Toronto’s AGO general admission lets you see The Marchesa Casati, Indigenous art, ship models, and Gehry’s spiral for $21.
“It was so great that if I lived in Toronto, I would have bought the annual pass to go there every single weekend, gaze at one piece of art for a full day, and come back next week for another one. If you are artsy, I highly recommend you plan at least half a day there. I went there 12 to 6, and my friends dragged me out of the gallery for dinner but I went back after dinner cause there was still a few rooms that I needed to explore. Next time, I plan to be there for a full day to be able to enjoy more guided tours,…”
Book ahead for a self-guided hour of optical illusions, hands-on puzzles, and photo-ready rooms at Toronto’s Museum of Illusions, near transit.
“It is a small space with various optical illusions, but interesting and fun, a bit pricy for the possible time spent.”
Bata Shoe Museum ticket in Toronto for $11. See 4,500 years of footwear in rotating galleries and enjoy free WiFi.
“Sayyid Asad's place was a nice place. Asad allowed us to check out at 4pm as we pleaded for such due to time differences at our final destination.”
