Spring into Science this Easter with Esplora

Embark on a scientific journey into the blossoming Spring, as Esplora, Malta’s unique Interactive Science Centre transforms into a vibrant celebration where popular Easter artefacts become the entertaining subject of scientific scrutiny! This one-of-a-kind event will take place between 2 April and 7 April 

Esplora, one of Malta’s magnificent signature attractions in Kalkara, will be hosting a six-day, fun-filled Easter event for all the family. During this Easter event, visitors will have the opportunity to engage in various Easter themed science shows, workshops, and activities which will be set up throughout Esplora, one of Malta’s signature attractions. The activities will be customised to appeal to families with children under the age of 10, however with over 200 indoor and outdoor interactive exhibits, children over this age bracket will undoubtedly be inspired to think, imagine, and create while exploring the natural and physical phenomena that shape our lives!

Upon boarding this exploratory journey, visitors will be reminded to allocate time for the Easter Egg hunt! As they walk around the centre to explore the various exhibits, they will be encouraged to keep their eyes peeled to unlock the secrets of the Easter eggs which will be cleverly hidden all over the science centre. So, get your thinking caps on and look for the clues which will lead you onto an egg-citing adventure throughout our impressive galleries. You will get to keep all the chocolate eggs you find during your eggspedition, and if you manage to find all the hidden eggs you will receive a bonus reward!

Science Shows/Workshops

The Great Eggventure (Suitable for families with children aged 5+)

Join the adventurous eggs as they travel around the world! Be prepared to use your scientific knowledge to overcome obstacles which the eggs encounter along their voyage. Observe the power of science in action as the eggs embark on a grand adventure scaling mountains and navigating the oceans. Get ready for an egg-citing journey!

Wheel of Fortune (Suitable for families with children aged 6+)

Visitors will take control of the wheel of fortune as every spin entitles them to choose the next experiment. From explosive reactions to electrifying circuits, every spin will generate a marvellous, scientific wonder onto Esplora’s stage!

Creative Collisions (Suitable for families with children aged 7+)

Put your engineering skills to the test as you design and build your very own car equipped with all the necessary safety features. Your passenger? A raw egg which must remain intact throughout the test drive! Your creative design and its performance will be assessed, so make sure that your passenger egg doesn’t crack or break. This won’t be an easy ride as you will surely encounter unexpected obstacles!

Shape bird (Suitable for families with children aged 3-6 years)

Eggs are not just for Easter! Become an ornithologist (bird scientist) for the day and discover the nest of a mythical bird known as the Shape Bird. Let’s explore the colourful and mesmerising world of birds and their eggs, as we count and sort through different egg-shapes, colours, and sizes.

Join in on the fun at Esplora Interactive Science Centre, where curiosity meets fun, and science springs to life in the most egg-ceptional way.
