Royal Ontario Museum slashes prices
 

The Royal Ontario Museum put out a news release today announcing big drops in admission prices.

Here's one paragraph:
ROM adult general admission is now $15, more than a third off the previous rate of $24. Senior and student admission have been lowered from $21 to $13.50, with child admission dropping from $16 to $12. Admission for children under 3 years of age remains free. Unlimited free admission for ROM Members also continues. As well, to benefit more visitors, the age range for student pricing has been expanded from 15-17 years of age to encompass 15-25 years of age (with student ID).

That saves enough money to cross Bloor Street from the crystal front, and find the Vietnamese restaurant up two flights of stairs (Pho) for lunch or dinner. (Really. $9 will feed you)

Good to know.

Smart move, really. It really is a great visit. Was there at one of the Munk Debates and enjoyed mooching about the new digs. It's not your parents' ROM. :)

It's a wonderful museum; I went there on a Wed afternoon at 3:30 for free. I wonder if that free admission is still on. The reduced prices are sure to help attendance. Perhaps, they are looking towards winter business?

Annetti, I think they have done away with the free Wednesday afternoons now that they've slashed prices. But it is well worth a visit.
