Encounter indigenous species, exotic creatures, and ancient shipwrecks on this aquatic odyssey at Malta's top aquarium.

Get entry tickets to the largest aquarium in the Maltese Islands, Malta National Aquarium, home to an assortment of over 250 species.

The aquarium has over 5 diverse zones – see scorpionfish at Valletta Harbor, leopard geckos in the Reptile and Amphibian zone, and more.

In the Main Tank, find species from the Indo-Pacific Ocean like bamboo sharks, rays, and eels. Observe them at a close range in the walk-through tunnel!

The Gozo and Comino zone has a unique exhibit dedicated to the Azure window with the Xwejni salt pans, and the Blue Lagoon with crystal clear waters.

Fun fact: The anchor in the ‘Roman Times’ shipwreck is a replica of the original one, believed to be used by St. Paul himself during his voyage to Malta.

Immersive exploration of Malta's marine life

Embark on a delightful journey into Malta's underwater world through 41 expertly themed tanks home to a variety of species. The chronological excursion begins with the exploration of Malta’s Western Shoreline & Submarine in Zone 1, teeming with native Mediterranean species such as the gilt-head sea bream and European sea bass.

As you progress, the Valletta Harbour in Zone 2, the Tropical Oceans in Zone 3, and Roman Times in Zone 4, unfold offering a panoramic view of local fish, exotic marine life, and ancient Roman shipwrecks.

Unending underwater adventures

Be awed as you walk through the main tank's tunnel, a 12-meter diameter space filled with exotic species like black tip sharks, zebra sharks, leopard sharks, bamboo sharks, rays, and eels. Tip: You could get the chance to watch staff feed the sharks at 1pm and 4pm!

Continue on to Zone 5, where you'll encounter the stunning vistas of Gozo and Comino islands, accompanied by thriving freshwater tanks. A surprising addition to your aquatic venture is the Reptiles & Amphibian Area, home to fascinating creatures like Argentine tegus, Brazilian red and white tarantulas, deadly poison dart frogs, and diverse invertebrates.
