Royal Ontario Museum discount: transit riders, students and CityPASS

PRESTO card holders and GO Transit riders save 15% on regular admission. Canadian military members and veterans save 20% all year. ROM members get in free.

The ROM is also one of the sights you can choose with the Toronto CityPASS. With the pass you still need to reserve a time in the CityPASS app.

What to see: the main Royal Ontario Museum exhibits

The big draws are the dinosaurs and a Ming Dynasty tomb. The ticket page names Barosaurus, which it calls the largest mounted dinosaur in Canada. It also names the Tomb of General Zu Dashou.

Every special-exhibition ticket includes general admission too. So you never pay twice to see the main halls.

The ROM is one of the best indoor attractions in Toronto for a rainy day.
