Earth Rangers Studio

Located in the Life in Crisis: Schad Gallery of Biodiversity on Level 2, Earth Rangers Studio (ERS) is open most weekends from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Stop by during your ROM visit and, if the Studio doors are open, come in and join us! Learn more about the natural world that we live in and share with other species. Through fun and engaging interactive experiences, our Gallery Engagement team helps learners of all ages to take a closer look at topics such as biodiversity, bird migration, coral reefs, and more. Activities regularly rotate and range, from "still life" drawing to touchable specimen
