Highlights
- 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.

Malta Aquarium - Lovely experience. Presented Viator tickets I had purchased prior to travel and staff were really pleasant and helpful at the aquarium. Loved the aquarium and its one of the best I have ever seen. I highly recommend any one to visit.

Very nice aquariums - Very nice aquariums, with beautiful scenery. There are more than forty different aquariums. There is 1 tunnel for children, which they pass under 1 aquarium; in the vivarium of the snake, there is 1 globe where one can put his head. I find this aquarium very interactive with its visitors. For each aquarium, there are next to it the names of the different fish in the aquarium. We go around in about an hour. 16,90€ the entrance but everywhere you find vouchers of 3€ or 13,90€ the entrance; I do not find it exaggerated.

Cute idea - It’s good. Nothing special. It would be much more interesting if we had a guide.
You can walk through the entire aquarium in 40 minutes maybe less. But all in all nice to see.

Well maintained, modernized, pretty - The scenery is taken care of both in the course and in the aquariums. The facilitators regularly provide information to groups around them. Andrea is a two and enthusiastically transmits his knowledge without it being too long, and remains available. A place very well adapted to small children (bubbles for them to "fit" into the aquariums, a small tunnel, steps to be at the height of the smallest aquariums.
Nice little walk

Small but fine aquarium - Small but fine aquarium with small terrarium. Very nice safe even with children. Varied from seahorses to jellyfish and especially in hot or rainy weather a good option. The small shark tunnel also allows great views of the underwater world.

Decent small aquarium - The aquarium is small and easy to get around in about an hour. Easy entrance and straight into the exhibits which are a bit basic. They could have info beside each tank rather than having to go back and forth. The tunnel was good as it has three types of sharks overhead and we were fortunate to be there for feeding time. A pleasant 60-90 minutes experience. The cafe attached is excellent.

A beautiful aquarium - A beautiful aquarium, well maintained with a very particular setting: it seems to be inside submerged wrecks. Small, but with small children it is worth spending a rainy or particularly hot half day there
