Royal Ontario Museum (aka ROM)



On Thursday we also went to the ROM. At 4:30 (we think) everyday it is free admission. (WOOHOO.) We waited until 4:30 in the Gift shop and what I thought was really cool- the Spirit House. There were really cool chairs, a picture of dead people from the museum and creepy noises playing which I have no way to describe. We had no idea where to go to so we went into a room with stuffed birds everywhere. They were very interesting especially considering how many birds there were. Then we went into a fake cave with a bat exhibit. There was one area where there were squeaking noises and the lights were blinking and fake bats were hanging on the ceiling which made it look like they were flying around. Then we went into a wilderness like area where there were bears, wolves, moose and this really cool area where small people (preferably children) could go through a little hole and there were small animals in the walls. Then we went into a kids area where you could search for fossils, dress up in old time clothes or have a tea party with stuffed animals. (I set up a very nice little party for whoever came in next.) Another thing is the outside of the museum. It's kind of hard to describe what it looks like so here are a few adjectives: shine-y, silvery blue, line-y (has lines on it, look it up), and spike-y. If you're walking through Toronto and you see a museum like that, then go in. It's across the street from a giant McDonald's, if that helps.

I would also like to thank all of our friends leaving us comments. They have really helped me with the blog and again even if we don't know you we would be very grateful if you add a comment and we would be sure to thank you in one of our blogs. Also, to all of our friends - and I know you're out there! Please tell your friends about our blog, we could use some more comments. Do not be afraid to read other peoples comments.
