Family activities in Malta

Malta is a wonderfully easy place to keep children entertained, and GoGather's family listings pull together the events and attractions built with younger ones in mind. The Esplora Interactive Science Centre in Kalkara turns learning into a hands-on adventure with exhibits, a planetarium and outdoor play, while the Playmobil FunPark and the Malta National Aquarium make for reliable all-weather days out. Through the year there are kids' cooking clubs, family theatre productions, dance showcases and all-ages spectaculars at venues like the Mediterranean Conference Centre.

Free city-wide events such as Science in the City and the candlelit Birgufest are genuinely magical for children, and the island's museums regularly run family days and heritage experiences. Summer brings open-air cinema, beach activities and festival programming designed for younger audiences. GoGather flags which events are family-friendly and which are aimed squarely at children, so you can tell at a glance whether something suits a toddler, a teenager or the whole tribe.

Each listing carries the date, venue, price and a link to find out more or book. Filter by area to find something near you, or by date to plan a weekend or fill a school-holiday afternoon. Malta's family calendar runs all year and grows especially busy over the summer and festive seasons, with new shows, workshops and activities announced regularly, so whether you're after a rainy-day backup or a headline day out, it's always worth checking what's on.
