Saw this back to back with the Valletta Living History show, both being part of the Malta Pass program. Although I enjoyed both and thought they were a good use of my time on a day when the weather was bad, it probably isn't necessary to see both. If you're on a short stay, you're probably better off choosing between... More

I would completely recommend, even insist that all visitors go here to fully get the flavour of Maltas immense past. Yes it can be a bit 'flimsy' in some things but when visited with the War Museum the whole experience is deeply moving,

It is a cca. 30 min video in various languages on Malta's traditions and history. Good for the ones who want to know a bit more about the island and how it became what it is today.

Not to be missed but not the most interesting thing I have done, either. The Hospital visit is bit quick and again the early history of the island is missing in the film show.

When visiting Malta, this is a must see, found it all worth watching and very interesting. Filled you in on all the history of the island.

Although only 20 minutes long this 5D movie was well worth the visit. Conveniently located just off the main walking street the Malta Experience gives an overview of Malta's history in 3D realistic animation. We had the cinema to ourselves and we were also offered a free soft drink.

We went to this attraction in the late afternoon on a Sunday and were told that the admission charge was 15 Euros which we thought was a little steep. We had arrived early, but when we entered the auditorium, it was packed with visitors obviously from the cruise ships. When one put on the headphones, the commentary was available in... More
