Rain or Shine: Mercury Fun Fest Takes Over This Weekend! 

Get ready for the Mercury Fun Fest!

From Friday, September 26 to Sunday, September 28, 2025, Mercury will be buzzing with family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and exclusive offers during the Mercury Fun Fest.

Across three days, visitors can enjoy a mix of outdoor and indoor attractions, designed to keep the fun going no matter the weather:

  • Lower Piazza – Get competitive with giant board games that bring everyone together, and explore special displays including a wartime exhibition, indigenous Maltese dog breeds, and even a spectacular falconry showcase. And don’t worry! Should rain start to pour, we’ll be shifting our activities indoors. The weather won’t spoil our fun!
  • Planet Play – Alongside its regular indoor adventures like karting, obstacle courses, trampolines, bowling, arcade, and VR, Planet Play will also host free kids’ activities such as face painting, balloon modelling, and crafts throughout the weekend.
  • Odyssey Malta – Immerse yourself in Malta’s history and culture with interactive exhibitions and take advantage of a €5 discount on walk-in tickets during the festival.
  • Museum of Illusions – Challenge your senses with quirky photo ops, mind-bending rooms, and puzzle challenges. Join in the dilemma games for a chance to win free entry, or enjoy 25% off if luck isn’t on your side.

Adding to the atmosphere, live DJs will take over Friday and Saturday nights, and every visitor has the chance to win up to €300 back in Mercury vouchers. Plus, free parking all weekend with any purchase makes it easier than ever to join the fun.

Whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring, Mercury Fun Fest promises an action-packed weekend for families, friends, and curious visitors of all ages.

And that’s just the beginning. Here’s what else you can enjoy at Mercury this rainy (or sunny) weekend:

During Fun Fest, the space will also host face painting, balloon modelling, and crafts—making it the ultimate family stop.

On top of that, Odyssey Malta during the Mercury Fun Fest brings history and heritage to life with:

  • An amazing falconry display
  • A showcase of beautiful Maltese Indigenous dogs
