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

Worth visiting so you can understand the history of the Island. Air conditioned theater with personal headphones. Not for young children as it can be a bit graphic.

A 45min video explaining the 7000 yr history of Malta. Great to get an insight into the turbulent times Malta has had during the wars. Comfortable seating and ideal to escape the heat of the day.

If you don't know much of Malta's history, this is a very good presentation to get oriented. It really helps to put a perspecrive into the island's strategic past. It is especially helpful to see it before taking a harbor cruise ( which is a must!).
