There are shows, rides and museums, as well as play houses where children can climb and explore the village. Children may also get to meet the movie's main characters, such as Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and Wimpy.

Some of the houses in Popeye Village have been equipped with various items related to the filming, including props used in the film's production.
Boat trips
Each hour on days when the weather permits, visitors can enjoy a twenty minute boat trip around Anchor Bay where one can photograph the scenery and view Popeye Village from the sea.
Cinema
Situated in the centre of Popeye Village's Lower Complex, visitors can watch a 20-minute history and information audio-visual show, which includes clips from the actual film and the set's construction. The cinema can accommodate approximately 40 people and has a show every hour.
Guaranteed to go down a treat with all the family, Popeye’s village is more than just a day out, it’s an experience as well! If exploring the amazing stilt huts built specially for the 1979 film isn’t enough to bring a smile to everyone’s faces, then the countless other delights it has to offer surely will! As well as enjoying its massive lido, numerous water trampolines and enormous jump around, kids can also take part in filming and see themselves on the big screen! And with boat rides, sundecks and eateries galore, you’re sure to want for nothing at Popeye’s Village. With action and fun that’s second to none, this awesome attraction is an absolute must for any family visiting Malta!

The movie is better than a lot of people give it credit for

[@marcosspinetti7996]

I agree. The movie is severely underrated.

Hi There, what a great video of Popeye Village in Malta, My Dad went to Malta a few years after the war GB him, he fought in the war and received 4 medals after the war, so very proud of him and always will be, Hope you soon come to Marple, we've got a picture house which goes back to the 1800's plus our Memorial Park where we have pictures up of men would fought in the war who lived in Marple GB them all, plus there is this Hall which was built in the 1800's but sadly got knocked down some years ago, but I believe that there is some stones where Marple Hall once was, Hope you do come to visit Marple Stockport UK, keep those great video's coming in, Thank You Joan
