Overall Rating

Having heard about the Aquarium, we used public transport from Sliema which dropped us off righty beside it. Being a new building, I envisaged that using a wheelchair would be no problem and indeed this was the case, with a good sized lift to go between the levels and flat or ramped areas within. Indeed we found the aquarium to be well aid out with displays running on from each other. The underwater tunnel worked well, with plenty of room for people to move about and a good variety of fish swimming above you. There was a lot to see and I feel this is an attraction to suit both adults and children alike. It was good to see that this aquarium, like others in other countries, is very much involved with marine conservation and education.

Disabled Access In and Around

Entry to the aquarium is 12.90 Euros with wheelchair users charged at the 60+ years at 10.90 Euros. Seemingly there is an extra charge to see a film. Perhaps we ought to have done that to eek out our visit. As per the norm with such places, the exit ended up in a large gift shop, from which we found it hard to find the actual exit. Once exited from the gift shop, one ends up beside a very large Cafeteria/Restaurant. Due to the size of it and choice off food, I imagine that this is used for other functions. Overall we enjoyed our visit to this attraction that we found to be well laid out and clean. Staff were doing information talks but we seemed to always get there when the were ending. An interesting attraction which will appeal to all ages.
