- Malta National Aquarium - The Malta National Aquarium has 52 tanks, including reptiles, insects, and amphibians, as well as Mediterranean fish, including fish that can often be found in Maltese waters, and historical artefacts that can be found in the seas around the Maltese islands.
The main tank inside the Aquarium measures 12 meters in diameter and contains a walk-through tunnel that allows visitors to see the fish much closer. A variety of Indo-pacific animals are housed here, including black tip sharks, zebra sharks, rays, and other exotic species.
An iconic curved shell structure resembling the shell of a starfish houses the Aquarium. The adjacent promenade provides pedestrians with additional recreation facilities, which include a children’s play area.

Fun Family Visit - We went to the aquarium with our 4 month old. It was a great way to break up our all inclusive stay as we were staying nearby.
There was a good variety of fish to see, although I was disappointed there were no octopus!
The highlight was the water tunnel were we saw sharks right on top of us and the guides were very insightful. Must do if you are in the area!
Top tip - buy your tickets online as they are cheaper than on the door. We saved about 7 euros as a couple doing this. Our baby was free entry

Aquarium on top 😊 - A great aquarium with a great variety of fish, a clean place. You can also see insects 🦟, spider 🕷️ and reptiles. Clean Park 👌🏻, Entrance is about 16€ per adult but they have plenty of partnerships with hotels or restaurants or other Things to do that will allow you to take 3€ away. Things to do ☺️

Nice displays considering that it's in Malta - Good displays for such a small country. A lot of environmental issues raised and displayed.
Not the biggest or fanciest aquarium but defiantly worth it

Bof bof - Bof bof, nothing exceptional for the Award, moreover we had to queue several dozen times ... the Attraction of the end catches up! Very nice welcome though!
Lots of free parking spaces on the street, paid aquarium parking (7€ 1h30)

Average for an aquarium - Pretty average for an aquarium, too many people, queues, small exhibits, however good restaurant, clean and tidy, and some good exhibits around sustainability and deep sea wrecks. Not disable friendly either. And had to pay extra to park too.

Second visit - Worth a visit. 1st time really enjoyed it. Today was horrible, I think everyone in malta went because it was raining! They just let everyone pile in and it was cramped! Not a nice experience. If the que it out the door, don't go!! If quiet, then worth a visit. Expensive

Disappointed, overcharged, underwater - First good thing, the fish, it's not as good as Birminham, but there's a similar variety.
First bad thing, getting in. You see discount tickets for the place..don't bother! The entrance staff don't accept them, also just showing one means they charge the full adult price regardless of OAP reductions offered..it cost us 5 Euros each extra!
If we hadn't Bolted all the way to see the place, I'd have walked away.
Tank Exhibits, don't believe the staff if they tell you something is recovered from the sea, it's all modelled, and none too well. Worse the pictures of the real thing in the sea, reveal modelled items to be incorrectly attributed.
The staff in the restaurant can be snappy, asked for a latte without sugar " you want me to take the sugar out"
British Rail catering came here.
It's small, crowded, and there's something about the place..staff look bored, play with phones...
If you're a child, it's good..if you're an adult lower you're expectations
