Eric
This is a 45 minute video on the history of Malta. It's a very good introduction to Malta and I enjoyed it. The projector was slightly misaligned or the experience was supposed to be 3D: there was some fuzziness to the video that was distracting. The gift shop was nice but a little more expensive: shop in one of the many other places. The best thing about the Malta Experience is the tunnel you take from the outdoor ticket counter, back under the road to the conference center!
Susan
Our guide had a wonderful way of presenting the historic information that made it all so interesting. She took us on our tour after the film show in the theatre and this enhanced our knowledge of what had gone on over the centuries at the site and complemented the film we had watched.
Philipp
Worth the money, good for a historical overview of Malta. Combine it with other guided tours to connect the dots.
Alan

Bridget
We really enjoyed this, we did it on our first day in Malta which is good as you get a real understanding of Malta. Covers Malta’s vast history.
Pancake
A must for all visitors to the Maltese Islands. Audio visual presentation that depicts the history of Malta from Prehistory to modern times. Gives you an understanding of the maltese people.and what has shaped this small but great nation. the location of the malta experience is best described as STUNNING. The building itself sets the mood for the audio visual. I'll go again when I am in Malta

As the advertising states, this is really a great introduction to Malta and it's rich and very interesting history. The presentation is shown on a big cinema screen with support for all languages via the private headphones that you find in each seat. The video lasts 30+ minutes but the time doesn't drag. We were truly fascinated by the history and everything that helped shape Malta to the Island that we Knie today. The Experience itself is located on the side of the old walled fortress of the capital of Malta - Valetta. You can buy tickets in advance online or from the small tickets booth at the venue itself. The film offers hourly showings all week and you access the cinema and the small shop down some old stairs into the halls cut into the rock below. When you buy the tickets, you can also add the extra "Tour der Sacra Infermeria" for a few Euros. This gives you a very interesting view of the rooms behind and below the Malta Experience and includes a guided Tour with an unbelievable history including the huge Hospital wards operated first by the Knights of St.John and then led the way in patient treatment under Napoleon and then the Britisch until 1920. The "Tour der Sacra Infermeria" is definitely worth the extra expense as it also shows you the new conference rooms and theatre which have played host to many political events on the European and International Stage.

A very interesting and informative movie about history of Malta. Afterwards we visited the main grand hall which used to be used as hospital. Such an amazing place.
Edilaine
It's is an incredible experience. If you want to learn deeply about the history of Malta, it's the best place. Definitely, a real historical immersion. After watching the documentary, there's a short walking tour with a guide who explains everything in a clear way. It was an amazing experience.
