Fantastic experience particularly the conservation work being done to help protect marine wildlife which is of such huge importance together with the information on deep water rubbish gradually depleting marine life

This is the most beautiful aquarium I have ever visited. It is easy to reach by public transport from Sliema and has beautiful fish of all species to see, especially the sharks that swim around you and pass over your head. Above all, the simulation of a submarine journey is a very realistic experience. Overall, I would give it 10 stars as a reviewer, also for the ease of purchasing tickets online. Congratulations!
