Travel the world for free!

August 2nd, 2009 by francesca | Featured Blogger

Now, how many times are you going to hear that phrase? Okay well, if you haven’t already heard, every Tuesday at the ROM is FREE — and yes I did say FREE — for post-secondary students! This is perfect for post-secondary students because first of all, it saves us about $22, and second of all, did I mention that it’s free?

Besides the obvious choice to go to the ROM for FREE, it’s a great way to compensate for not being able to travel. Personally, this summer I lacked the funds to travel anywhere around the world so I had to figure out a way to compensate for that, leading me to the ROM. Now, I know what you’re thinking, the ROM is probably the last place you want to go on your summer vacation. However, the ROM has definitely transformed itself to not only showcase history at its finest, but also to take its visitors around the world. You can go from Australia to the Philippines within a few steps, or even ancient Egypt to the Middle Ages within a few minutes. Why pass up this opportunity to travel around the world, and through history all for the price of well, free?

    Is it free all day and can you direct me to where it says this? I tried looking at the ROM site but couldn’t find it.

    It’s actually in this article: http://www.rom.on.ca/news/releases/public.php?mediakey=sxh1wx9dkk

    “The Premier also announced that as of April 22, 2008, all full-time students attending a post-secondary institution in Canada will receive free admission on Tuesdays.”

    They should have put it in the Tickets & Hours section.
