Malta National Aquarium

Heard a few mixed things about coming to the aquarium, some saying it's not worth it, but it couldn't be further from the truth. Booked our tickets in advance on the website which was straight forward. We turned up at a time which was convenient for ourselves, noticed on arrival there is ample parking for those who prefer to come by car. Staff were really friendly when we arrived and we decided to pay extra to do the back of house tour, something which I would recommend as it goes so much further into what they do and how they protect the species. Couldn't remember the name of our guide, but was superb and full of knowledge. Navigating the aquarium is easy and there is tablets located by the tanks providing information on the species. Depending on what time of day it is and week you can get the opportunity to watch them feeding the fish. Overall would highly recommend paying a visit here.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Place was not extremely busy and the experience was very enjoyable. The variety of fish and reptiles is adequate and the tanks and facilities are very well kept. Great place to visit while on holiday or just to spend some educational time with family or friends.

It is quite a small aquarium but the staff is very nice and there are free talks about the fish in the museum and interactive activities. For example, there was an activity where we entered a room that imitated a submarine, and we were attacked by a large squid. It was very cool.

The aquarium is amazing it’s a little bit small compared to other ones I have been however the staff are so lovely and friendly one of them complimented my hair. I love the variety that they have in there it’s not just fish there’s also reptiles and insects. Very nice highly suggest

My two year old son (free entry for toddlers) thoroughly enjoyed this aquarium (€35 approx for 2 adults). Beautifully designed building. Only downside they unhelpfully wouldn’t let us park the buggy anywhere to collect it later, so had to push it around the whole morning! Over 50 tanks and more than 250 species. We loved Casper the stingray, the sharks, sea horses, the spooky eel, frogs and snakes! Lovely gift shop, restaurant and photographer opportunity to buy (€9) a family photo with a superimposed aquarium backdrop. Great outdoor playground overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Well worth a visit!

The Malta National Aquarium is a wonderful attraction for both adults and children. The design of the aquarium is impressive, featuring a variety of exhibits that showcase Malta's diverse marine life, as well as other aquatic species from around the world. It's both educational and entertaining, with informative displays and interactive sections for kids. The shark and ray tanks are definitely highlights, and the underwater tunnel offers a unique perspective. The aquarium is also very clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere. A great way to spend a few hours when visiting Malta!

We booked in advance online and would highly recommend it. We were staying within walking distance but there is a bus stop outside and a carpark. The park outside is brilliant, suitable for all ages. The actual aquarium is bigger than it looks and we all really enjoyed it.

Very cute aquarium for when you need a break from the heat or wind. Beautiful clean displays. They have accommodations for those with invisible disabilities, such as autism. There is a small gift shop, restaurant attached and a small kiosk outside. An aquatic themed playground outside for kids to enjoy. We took the behind the scenes tour, which I highly recommend. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We booked our tickets online, whiched saved us 3€pp.
