Attractions
Popeye Village is open to the public seven days a week and, apart from the film set itself, has a number of family attractions for the visitor to experience. 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.
Set dressings and props
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
I agree. The movie is severely underrated.
Very wonderful to see this! I actually loved the movie as well! But I am a big Popeye fan! Always have been! So glad I got to see this! In fact I'm watching the Popeye movie now! As I'm typing this!
What an unique place. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Popeye was a very good movie growing up! Nice video.
Thank you
Great video . An amazing place

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

This village , still been open to the general public for 42 years / after the release of the film 🎥 it is keeping the Popeye legend alive otherwise young ones wouldn't even know who Popeye was
They only know who Mickey mouse is because of the Disneyland parks
True.
It's a strange place Popeye Village - so beautiful and quirky!
