Hike the ROM trails are back for a limited time!
This winter, forget malls and slippery sidewalks. Instead, exercise your body and your mind inside our spacious galleries, away from inclement weather.
Hike the ROM walking trails take you on a journey of engaging and unexpected discovery through three floors of galleries. Designed to help you conquer your daily steps goals, each trail invites you to move at the speed you like, all while exercising your body and your mind.
