    Amazing dolphins
    We took my son here to see dolphins and the sea lion. Unfortunately the sea lion wasn't up for visitors on the day we went so we only had a sneak peak of him. The dolphins were in a great mood showing off for all of us. My son loved it! Aside from the dolphins there wasn't much else here a lot of birds and reptiles. My son loved the park it was a hard task to get him away from it. The food was ok here but thankfully the dolphins made up for everything else

    Highly recommend a visit !
    We thoroughly recommend the park. It felt the staff really cares about their animals and looked after them well. The bird feeding was fantastic. Our children did it twice and could have carried on all day! Every experience was interactive - from the feeding parrots to posing with the dolphins. It was fun packed throughout! The food could have been better but there was choice. The photos took a while to queue for so they could look at a better system but overall, it was worth the wait. I loved the fact the whole park did not feel Overcrowded and that the whole experience was interactive, engaging and fun . It was our best memory in Malta !

    Not so many activities
    We attended reptile educational, dolphin educational, parrot educational and sea lion educational. All in all, it was a little bit disappointing. Each educational lasts about 15-20 min after which you need to wait 30-45 min until the next one and there is absolutely nothing to do in the park during that time. Sea lion educational was a disaster. I really like the dolphin show and reptiles because we were allowed to touch different snakes, tarantula and lizards.

    Amazing VIP Experience
    We recently visited the Marine Park and opted for the VIP and waterpark experience. It was worth every penny! The VIP experience gave us lots of behind-the-scenes access, including handling the animals, which was truly unforgettable. The staff were excellent, and a special shout out to Steven, who made the experience even more enjoyable with his knowledge and enthusiasm.We were initially unsure due to the mixed reviews, but we are so glad we went. The park is small, which allows for a more intimate experience, and the attentive staff made all the difference. It's a great value for the price, and I'd definitely recommend paying for the VIP package.While some people comment on the ethics of animals in captivity, I found it no different from a normal zoo. The animals appeared well-cared for, and the staff seemed genuinely dedicated to their well-being.The water park next door, however, was a bit of a letdown. It looked tired, and the salty water was unpleasant for the kids, who decided to leave after just half an hour.Overall, the Marine Park itself was fantastic, especially with the VIP upgrade. A memorable day for the whole family!

    Swimming with the Dolphins
    The dolphin experience was amazing! You were given the opportunity to do tricks with dolphins and snorkel with them. The trainers were lovely (especially the Mexican/Colombian one🥰) and the dolphins were so playful and friendly. Once the experience was over, you have a choice of photos to choose from for a great price. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and completely worth the money.

    Great experience with dolphins!
    I took my 8 years old niece to swim with dolphins and we really enjoyed the experience! Our Mexican instructor Paola and her dolphin Cha were the best! We got to know so many interesting facts about dolphins and also had the chance to interact with them, it was very educational and also fun experience. Thank you Paola and Cha, we will definitely visit again! :)

    Amazing - Dolphin Emotions
    I visited the Mediterraneo Marine Park on 31/08/24 with my 9 year old son for the enotions with dolphins. The most amazing experience and a memory to treasure forever. From the moment we arrived we were greeted and all the details were explained clearly and all ran smoothly. Steven the trainer was amazing not only with the dolphins but with all of us, as with all the staff. Sounds silly to say but the dolphins were so happy and cared for, the trainers never forced anything and was guided by the dolphins. It was the best, Thank you for the most amazing day

    A great place to visit with family just make sure you keep track of time.
    We visited the park today and it was a great experience overall, we took pictures with one of the Dolphins and opted to pay €20 for a photo instead of the experience as we was not sure how our fidgety child would react. The only downside was that the photo was rushed so we couldn’t get a perfect family photo which is the reason for the 4/5. That being said the animal keepers were excellent giving lots of information and being very patient with animals, they were very passionate about not pushing the animals to perform. We also loved the aviary with food for the birds this is great for kids when the birds are flying on you. Drinks and food are reasonably priced and there is a small bouncy castle and climbing frame in the middle for kids whilst you are waiting. It’s definitely worth the trip and I would visit again.

Myself and my 4 sons went on a day trip here, first of all I would like to say that Anne made our day even more amazing on just how friendly and welcoming she was, she really is a credit to the park.

The place itself is lovely and all the animals are lovely. One of my sons got too swim with a dolphin and it really was something he will never forget.
You can tell how much the animal carers love the animals. The dolphin show was by far the best it had everyone cheering in the audience.

There is big gaps inbetween shows which was the only thing that got my boys a bit bored as the play area wasn’t sufficient for their ages.
But all in all a good day out.

Well done 😀

Went to the park today and booked to swim with the dolphins. The dolphin experience and presentation were amazing! The trainers were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and you could tell they cared about their welfare and educating us. It was a cloudy day so luckily didn't get too hot would recommend a hat on a hot day as there is alot outside. We saw the sealions show and reptiles which were both good. It is a small marine park but kept us busy for a few hours.

after reading lots of reviews we have decided to just go to the dolphin show. We just lovvveeeed the dolphins, but the show was so short!!! that was a pitty because we came specially from st. julian and there is nothing else to actually do in this area. so we were pretty disappinted. and also it was 10 euros each - so for the length of the show it is pretty expensive.

Dolphins are really a thing. They are cute and really nice but the park is really poor.
It is small and completely not fancy. There are just a few other attractions, nothing really special. The sea lions were really boring and the stands were without cover letting us die under the sun. Reptiles were stuck in a very old building, covered by dust and really dark. The worst part was the restaurant, it was dirty, uncomfortable and the food was really uneatable. The sandwiches were really really bad.

I visited this marine park a lot when I was younger but this is the first time I have been back here for about 10 years.

To be honest it hasn’t changed much, it is really lacking investment and looks quite run down now.

I really do hope this is not affecting the animals well-being, as it looks like they are in quite small enclosures and not necessarily cleaned out everyday.

The shows are okay but I’m not sure I’d say you get your moneys worth for the small amount of animals there are.

The bird feeding was a good experience, and the shows can be educational but there isn’t much to do other than watch the shows, and there isn’t a great choice of food in the meantime either.

This will be the last time I visit this park as I don’t think the animals are being prioritised anymore.

It’s very dated now and needs improving before I would recommend this place again.

Nice half a day out. We went with a 4 and 6 yo. The shows get better through the day, starting with otters, then sea lions, then parrots, then feeding birds and then dolphins. Between the shows there's a 30-45min gap, where it can get a bit boring. There is a small playground, but it could do with a bit more play equipments.

We enjoyed the shows, and a good cause to support.

An absolute joke. The staff thetlre do not have the slightest respect for their clients. We had a reservation for 10 am, and when we arrived at the park, they said the reservation was at 14. No excuses, just a constant repetition that the situation was created by the agent we booked with, although we booked on their website. We did not had heads up. Absolute joke! Do not recommend!

Stuff is very rude, when i was taking pictures with dolphin they were very unpleasant because my sun of 2 years wanted to see something, he is a kid, he should be like that. We paid 60e for 3 tickets (tey charge ticket for kid as well) and picture with one parent with dolphin. Whole place is very dirty, there is not much to see, there are some turtles and some parrots. Kids playground is very very dirty. For picture to be printed we waited for more than 30 minutes. Also there is this woman who sings at beginning of show with dolphins and she she is very scary, like they took someone from street to do it. They increased sound from narrator and music so loud it was not pleasant to be there. Overall very bad experience and really not worth visiting.

Me and my partner loved this marine park! We had a lovely welcome from the staff in the giftshop and the shows were just fantastic. My favourite was definitely the dolphins, I love them and to see the way the trainers interacted with them was just amazing. The staff were fantastic and we both really enjoyed ourselves, would definitely recommend it! Thank you for a lovely day!🤩
