FREE WITH ADMISSION.

Forget malls and slippery sidewalks. Hike the ROM Trails are a fun and engaging way to exercise both your body and your mind inside our spacious galleries, away from inclement weather.

Offered seasonally during the cold, grey days of winter and early spring, Hike the ROM reveals objects in an unexpected, step-generating way as you walk through three floors of gallery spaces, at the speed you like.

Each trail is perfect for a morning stroll, lunchtime break, or as a fun visit activity for families. Take your time and enjoy not only the trail stops, but the collections in between.

When in season, you'll find Hike the ROM Trail Guides available on Level 1 as you enter the Museum. Or, download a copy in advance (links below).

Membership is a great way to have unlimited Museum access to walk another trail, repeat your favourite, or detour off-trail for additional exploration adventures in our extensive galleries and exhibitions. Learn more.

You'll encounter natural extinctions, human made objects, records of human interaction, and much more. All to help us deepen our understanding of our footprint - and more - on the planet we call home.
