Malta National Aquarium Entrance Ticket

Thank you very much for your detailed review and, most importantly, for recommending the Malta National Aquarium to other visitors. We are delighted that you enjoyed the aquarium and particularly appreciated the digital information screens available at each tank. These form an important part of our educational experience, allowing visitors to learn more about the species they are observing, their habitats, behaviour and conservation. Thank you also for your comments regarding the language options on the screens. We appreciate the suggestion, as making our educational content accessible to as many international visitors as possible is important to us, and feedback such as yours is valuable when we consider future improvements to our visitor experience. We are also very pleased to hear your kind words about our team and that you enjoyed the educational talks and presentations taking place throughout the day. Our aim is not simply to display marine life, but also to help visitors better understand the animals, their environment and the relationship between humans and the marine world. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the restaurant. We appreciate your balanced feedback and are glad you found the selection extensive. Most of all, thank you for describing your visit as a beautiful experience and for encouraging others to visit and support the Malta National Aquarium. Comments like these are greatly appreciated by our entire team. We hope to welcome you back again on a future visit to Malta.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your visit to the Malta National Aquarium. We appreciate the balanced feedback and are particularly pleased that you enjoyed the Deep Explorer experience, the underwater heritage exhibition and our Reef Gift Shop. We understand your comments regarding the size of the aquarium, particularly when comparing it with some of the much larger aquariums found internationally. The Malta National Aquarium is a more compact attraction, but within the facility we have 54 themed tanks housing around 250 species, with a particular emphasis on Mediterranean marine life alongside tropical species, sharks, rays, jellyfish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. We would, however, like to clarify your comment regarding our white stingray and why she no longer has her tail. She was brought to us by local fishermen after being caught, and unfortunately her tail had been cut following the catch. This was therefore certainly not the result of visitors putting their hands into the tank or interfering with her. Her unusual white colouration also means that her chances of survival in the wild would be significantly reduced, as she lacks the natural camouflage that would normally help protect a stingray. For this reason, she remains under the care and protection of our professional aquarist team at the Malta National Aquarium, where her health and welfare can be closely monitored. We are very pleased that you highlighted the Deep Explorer as the standout part of your visit. It was designed to add a completely different immersive dimension to the aquarium experience, and it is great to hear that the journey into the deep sea, atmosphere and final surprise made such a strong impression. We also appreciate your comments about the underwater heritage area, which was developed in collaboration with Heritage Malta to introduce visitors to Malta's remarkable underwater archaeological and maritime heritage, including the numerous wreck sites surrounding the Maltese Islands. Finally, thank you for your kind comments about our Reef Gift Shop. We have worked to create a wide selection particularly suited to families and younger visitors, so it is nice to hear that this was another positive part of your experience. Thank you again for visiting and for providing such a comprehensive review. While the aquarium tanks themselves may not have exceeded your expectations, we are pleased that the complete experience offered several highlights and made your visit worthwhile.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your visit. We note your comments regarding the size, noise levels and number of visitors. During peak periods, and particularly on days when the weather is less favourable, we can experience a significant increase in visitors as more people choose indoor attractions. This can naturally result in a busier and noisier environment than would normally be experienced at quieter times. While the Malta National Aquarium is compact in size, we aim to provide a content-rich and educational experience. We have 54 themed tanks showcasing around 250 species, ranging from Mediterranean marine life to tropical fish, sharks, rays, jellyfish, reptiles and amphibians. Each tank also has an interactive information screen providing further details about the species on display. The experience extends beyond the tanks themselves. Admission also includes the Deep Explorer immersive submarine simulator, the Heritage Malta underwater archaeology exhibition, the Digital Aquarium, as well as hourly educational talks delivered by our presenters throughout the day. Regarding the duration and value of the experience, if a visitor spends just one minute in front of each of our 54 tanks, that alone already represents almost one hour. Once the Heritage Malta exhibition, Deep Explorer and the other educational and interactive elements are included, the complete visit can comfortably take well over an hour. We do agree that visitors who prefer a quieter experience should, whenever possible, consider visiting outside the busiest periods or earlier in the day. Thank you again for visiting and for sharing your perspective.
