A few ways to put a day together

Pick a starting point.

01 / CENTRAL MALTA

Planes, then play.

Start with the Aviation Museum at Ta’ Qali, then make a separate stop at the Adventure Park. Check Sunday museum hours before planning the order.

02 / NORTHERN MALTA

Keep a rainy-day option.

The Aquarium and Classic Car Collection are both in Qawra. Pick one for an indoor outing; the car museum closes earlier on weekends.

03 / GOZO

A day around Xagħra.

Pair Ġgantija with Ta’ Kola Windmill using the operator’s combo ticket. Check both schedules first. Villa Rundle is another stop if you spend time in Victoria.

Suggested combinations, not timed or booked itineraries. Allow for travel, meals and your children’s pace.

02 / Names & their stories

Before the first day out.

Ġużeppi, Marija, Pawlu. Explore Maltese name forms, their origins and the meanings behind them.

03 / The birthday drawer

One less thing to organise.

Put together a birthday invitation and print a checklist. Free to use, with room for all the party details.
