If you decide to visit Malta with your whole family, this stunning Mediterranean island country won’t leave you disappointed. From beautiful beaches to amazing water parks, Malta is home to several spots you can visit with your kids, and these three are a good place to start.

Popeye Village

Popeye Village was originally built as a set for Robert Altman’s 1980 film Popeye, and it went on to become one of Malta’s top attractions. It was later transformed into a small theme park, but its colorful wooden houses and the nearby harbor are equally fun for visitors of all ages.

Splash and Fun Water Park

Despite being home to countless beaches, water parks are a huge hit in Malta, and none of them is more impressive than this one. In addition to water slides and pools, Splash and Fun Water Park also offers a lazy river, a wave pool, a food court, and a playground.

Malta National Aquarium

If you’re looking for a place where your kids can learn more about marine life and conservation, Malta National Aquarium is a place to be. It offers over 40 fish tanks with around 175 species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects, and your little ones can also enjoy fun and educational interactive exhibits during your visit.
