End your journey through the Malta National Aquarium in Jungle Meets Temple, where the focus shifts from the ocean to the remarkable freshwater environments found around the world.

Discover species from some of the planet’s richest rivers and lakes, including habitats inspired by the Amazon River and Lake Malawi, before exploring a zone where conservation, responsible animal care and sustainability take centre stage.

One of the highlights is the Baby Station, where you may see juvenile animals and the Aquarium’s coral breeding work in progress. As young animals grow and corals develop, the displays continue to change, making this a particularly dynamic part of the Aquarium experience.

You’ll also encounter rescued freshwater fish that once began life as pets before becoming too large for home aquariums. Alongside them, displays featuring invasive terrapins help tell an important story about responsible pet ownership and the impact that releasing non-native animals can have on the environment.

The zone also brings another piece of Malta into the experience, with a structure inspired by the 5,000-year-old Mnajdra Temples forming part of the freshwater setting.

Before completing your Aquarium visit, discover the Aquaponics Tank, where fish and plants work together in a balanced system that demonstrates an innovative and more sustainable approach to food production.

From freshwater giants and new life to conservation and future-focused ideas, Jungle Meets Temple provides a fitting finale to your journey through the Aquarium.
