A modern facade interwoven with the original edifice, the museum is home to a wide range of collections, the highlight of which is the array of dinosaur and prehistoric animal bones. A mastodon tooth the size of my nephew's head? Yes, please! Bonus points for allowing us to touch it.\n\nThere were more than enough hands-on activities, from ancient-times dress-up and play excavations to handling creepy critters like walking sticks and hissing cockroaches. The only real disappointments were the mummy exhibit (only one visible decomposed corpse) and the bat cave, which promised far more than it delivered. But overall the ROM did a fantastic job of modernizing the old-school museum experience."^^ . . "2008-08-30T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
