We visited this place days before Christmas. A very nice, small stop. Parking was free. The staff were friendly and happily explained things to us and answered all of our questions. It probably is more beautiful during spring/ summer when flowers bloom here though.

Interesting. Not sure I’ve seen so many bones in one place. The map in the entryway is misleading. Several cave sites but only one accessible. Which was done with us. You get the idea with the one. Self guided tour was easy to use. You pick what you want to hear about.

A very nice experience especially during hot days. Super interesting museum with very high quality souvenir shop plus local goods. Also nice toilette and some cold/hot drinks to buy. Super exciting for kids but not too long, also an outdoor path and the cave itself is worth to visit. If you have a scientific sense and/or have curious kids, a must. I do not get it why some people do not like it…

Stunning cave with a nice museum with pre historic bones and beautiful landscapes- highly recommend. Takes about 30-45 mins.

I am sorry I am giving this 4 stars. It is ok, I was expecting dinosaur bones but was disappointed to see just elephant bones. Animals that used to live in Malta Island decades ago. But not much excavated bone displays to see. The cave was nice, but strong mould smell and I recommend you cover you face from the strong smell. Lots of historical trees and garden, but not my thing. It was not busy when I went during early September week around 1pm. I bought my ticket online at official Heritage website, I also had a combo ticket with Borg in-Nadur. Which was a good cheap ticket for €13 for 2 people. Would I recommend this? Not really, but others who like these sort of things might enjoy it.

Mildly interesting cave that you can explore for about 85m. Good signage and a downloadable audio tour so that is great. The old exhibition hall is well worth seeing and at a different time of the year I am sure the garden looks quite different. Worth a visit but not necessarily a special trip.

This cave and the small museum were a very interesting glimpse into Malta history. Nice stop to learn a bit of Malta's past. It was also nice to get away from the crowds for a while.

It’s truly a fascinating place. I really can’t understand the comments saying it’s not worth visiting. I hesitated because of those reviews, but I’m so glad I didn’t listen to them and decided to come. There is hundreds of thousands of years of history here, truly AMAZING. The staff were also very welcoming. Thank you!🖤🖤
