Per one customer who booked the Popeye Village Fun Park General Admission Ticket, "What a fantastic place, so much more than just a film set, it's a whole day out, wished we'd have got there earlier to secure a lovely sunbed by the beach, but we didn't realize it had so much to offer! The set itself is brilliant, and the characters were brilliant, too, really brought it to life. We will [definitely] be going again each time we come to Malta!"
