👨👩👧 Family & Kids Events in Malta
Discover family and kids events across Malta and Gozo — soft play and indoor play centres in Sliema, splash parks in Bugibba and St Paul's Bay, puppet shows and children's theatre at Teatru Manoel, farm visits in Gozo, and school-holiday workshops, camps and activities across the islands.
Browse upcoming family events with dates, age guidance, venues and booking details, updated as new events are added.
Family listings thicken around the school breaks: the mid-term week at the start of November, the Christmas holidays from just before the 21st through to the first week of January, the two-day Carnival break in February, a fortnight at Easter, and the long summer break from late June. Indoor play and workshops dominate the winter breaks; outdoor and village events take over in summer.
