When I arrived at Popeye's village, I was expecting a classic tour of the houses and sets from the film, then to leave again. But I ended up having an unforgettable experience. We took part in various activities that I hadn't expected at all. It was as if we were really part of the village with the animators, especially when they invited us to dance with them. It brought a lot of good humor and allowed us to really understand the village atmosphere. Honestly, I have absolutely no regrets about spending my day there.

This is the most beautiful aquarium I have ever visited. It is easy to reach by public transport from Sliema and has beautiful fish of all species to see, especially the sharks that swim around you and pass over your head. Above all, the simulation of a submarine journey is a very realistic experience. Overall, I would give it 10 stars as a reviewer, also for the ease of purchasing tickets online. Congratulations!

We visited Popeye Village today and had such a lovely experience. Even though it was very crowded, everything was well organised and ran smoothly. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was plenty to do for the kids. My son and daughter enjoyed it so much they were smiling the whole time. It was a fun, colourful and memorable day for our family. We would definitely recommend it.

  • This unique mariner’s combo allows you to save on your visits to the underwater realm of Malta National Aquarium and the world of Popeye the sailor man!

    Malta National Aquarium

    Popeye Village, perched on the Maltese coast, delivers a quirky adventure.

Rustic, colorful wooden structures pepper the landscape, offering an authentic backdrop. Navigate the narrow lanes, explore the cartoon-themed exhibits, and witness live shows. In the summer, there are special splash pools and kids play pools, along with inflatable water courses and floating decks!
