€14 each which is more expensive than other Maltese 'attractions' but if you like history and like to explore the war tunnels (very narrow and low ceilings in places) this is for you! Start at the end of the museum and work back towards the entrance, going into the tunnels at the end (hard hats are provided but not mandatory). There is a 20min video halfway through the exhibition which is worth watching. We spent about an hour here.

Really liked our visit here, very nice man on the ticket desk. Learn all about Malta in the war and so much to see. You can even go below into the shelters. Very informative and a great experience.
