I stayed a few days ago with my wife and my 19-year-old daughter. If you take the ticket, its validity is for the entire day for which you booked. Watch out though because it closes at 4.30pm. We went in the early afternoon and it was just the three of us. After all it was good because if there were other people, I don’t know if they would have screened it in Italian. The show is light and cute. Explain the history of Malta in a simple way. Suitable for all ages, especially children who would not be afraid to do so. The armchairs move and a jet of compressed air hits your face and legs every now and then, depending on what is being projected. Maybe there would also be some water vaporization, but I think the circuit was drained :-))).

This is a must see, especially if as in our case the temperature was 43 degrees! We had previously enjoyed a similar experience in Iceland and the Malta version is equally enjoyable.It suits all age groups and if you don’t want your seat to move just ask! Well worth a visit.

Rarely do I think to myself I’ve been ripped off. After spending €10 myself and €6 my son I was expecting so much more than was delivered. The make member of staff couldn’t have been less charismatic, but to be fair I wasn’t paying too see/listen to him. The 5D experience was as enjoyable as others I’ve been too however, the show was merely a Maltese tourism promotional video dressed up as a tourist excursion - it failed miserably. If I could include more positives I would but…

A total waste of time and money. I wanted a sound overview of the history of Malta to let me plan the rest of my holiday. It was too short and you would learn more from Wikipedia for free.

While this show is genuinely very good and it is interactive the staff ruined it for me. The man at the desk was clearly very bored and clearly didn’t want to be there. Absolutely no personality or enthusiasm. The whole place also stunk very badly with damp. The show was very good. It was exactly like being in the cinema. The 3D glasses are worn through out the 20 min show. The seats also move and in some parts they really throw you about but in a fun way so don’t panic. I’d recommend this show as it’s also very informative and not overly expensive and if it’s an incredibly hot day then for about 20 mins you’ll be able to enjoy the cool temperature inside the building.

It needs better synchronization between sound, video and movements in the chairs. It is not true and sometimes the image is double instead of 3D There is development potential here!

It was very interesting.. few people were there and not crowded. You will learn a lot about Malta. Try it and you will not regret it.

Great experience, a 20min overview of Malta’s history. Well worth a visit, if you’re lucky like my wife and I, you may get the whole theatre to yourself!
