Malta — STEM Museums & Science Experiences for Kids & Families

Malta offers a compact yet high-quality STEM landscape, where science learning is closely tied to hands-on discovery, exploration, and real-world observation.

Thanks to short distances and an accessible scale, STEM experiences in Malta can be easily integrated into family travel itineraries, making the country especially suitable for curiosity-driven trips with children aged 4–11.

Rather than a large network of museums, Malta stands out for a single, well-designed interactive science center, focused on experimentation, play, and inquiry-based learning.
