About
Organized by ROM’s Department of Museum Volunteers, ROMWalks started in 1980 as an outreach program for the Museum when it was closed for renovations. The program has grown over the years, with dozens of walk itineraries, six months of regularly scheduled free walks, and a growing number of extremely satisfied ROMWalks walkers.
Discover Toronto with ROMWalks, a collection of guided walking tours that take participants on a unique journey of urban discovery.
Offered each year from May to October, rain or shine, each walk combines the excitement of exploring diverse and vibrant neighbourhoods with the expertise of knowledgeable guides and the adventure of learning. There are many neighbourhoods to explore, each with its own story to tell. Stories that speak to history, people, architecture, arts, and much more.
Free, Plus, and Private Group ROMWalks are available to the general public. Member Exclusive ROMWalks are also available to ROM Members.
