Dancing, Drinking and Dining with Dinosaurs at FNL ROM

Photography by Joanna Katchutas

Looking for a great place to hang out on a Friday night with your friends? This past Friday (November 22nd 2013) I decided to check out the “Get Wild” edition of Friday Night Live (FNL) at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. Doors open at 7pm and close at 11pm for this 19+ event

Featuring Electric City Events (Toronto’s hottest DJS), the music is great for dancing! Pick up ROM Bucks at $6 a piece to grab some Tapas portions to eat and beer, wine or cocktails to drink. Pop up catering booths offering everything tasty from tacos to cupcakes are scattered throughout the museum, featuring a number of fantastic options – such as the tantalizing feast you find at the La Rivolta pop up catering booth upstairs on the Second Floor in the Dinosaur Gallery offering a menu of Sicilian street food.

Dancing, Drinking and Dining with Dinosaurs at FNL ROM  - TorontoMuseum galleries stay open until 9:30pm so it is definitely the greatest way to get a history lesson. Some exhibits featured at this week’s edition that particularly caught my attention were the exhibit celebrating 125 year of National Geographic Magazine, the launch of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit and the Wildlife video lodge.  FNL also features awesome interactive exhibits that encourage the audience to participate, such as the 3D Printing booth where guests could design a building and print it in 3D – adding to the ROM collaboration project to create a Mesopotamian city.
