- 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.

Gorgeous! - So much bigger than it looks because it's downstairs and HUGE! Tons of sea life and tons to see... I found it beautiful! The staff were all friendly and there was also a few bits of Malta history in the upstairs part, when you come to the end.

Nice morning out in Malta - Excellent experience. The aquarium is very enjoyable for children whilst being an informative and interesting for adults as well. There are activities such as feeding different fish that children love. It also is situated in a beautiful area with breath taking Seaview. The cafe has very nice Italian ice cream with many flavours.

Get it paid ! - Top !! , really nice & welcoming and informative place to spend a few hours , paid a little extra for the back stage tour . That was really interesting, tour guide was really good at what she does and you could tell she loves it. So get yourselves their ! . Well worth the few euros admission fee.

Great aquarium! - This little treasure was a good family outing. It didn’t take too long to walk around about an hour, you could stretch it out if needed. The fish were certainly used to people and some even posed for photos!! The tunnel for the sharks was amazing and we enjoyed the little interactive lift show mid way through (don’t want to give too much away). The photos you take on the way in are good fun and not too expensive €18 for 3 photos. Outside is a little play area for younger kids, I’d say 12 and under, plus a little cafe which sells drinks, ice creams, pastries and a small selection of sandwiches. Highly recommend. My 10 and 13 year old enjoyed it, nearly as much as me! Cameras allowed but no flash.

Aquarium of Malta - Aquarium with different species of fish. The closets for bags and jackets were missing. The cost a bit 'extensive would have been appropriate to have a family rate

Compact Aquarium but great fun - Although a relatively small venue it's packed with a variety of fish and reptiles.
We went on a particularly wet afternoon and it was a great way to spend 90 mins or so
Worth a visit if you have kids

Busy lots of noisy kids - Plenty to see. Busy due to half term. I know we should encourage children but it spoiled the experience for us. Maybe adults only days/times would be a good idea

Shame on you. - Horrible! 17 euros wasted to see 4 suffering fish in tanks built badly. It should be closed, animals should not be treated like this.
