Reviews of Popeye Museum
"Lovely museum and shop! There was a lot of awesome collectibles and they're still adding more. Very cool, nostalgic atmosphere. I would recommend stopping here if you're traveling near!"
"The REAL POPEYE LIVED IN THIS TOWN AND SO DID WIMPY AND OLIVE OIL, as well as the creator of the cartoon! You can sign up for the " official Popeye fan club" the way we did before internet! Fill out the form, and receive your personalized certificate by mail along with your first issue of your monthly magazine! It's in the old opera house where Wimpy worked and I think Olive Oile worked there too!"
"It was a nostalgic adventure back in time. Loads of older Popeyes memorabilia and collectables. In top of tons of Popeyes merch to show you being there. They also had a flea market type building hook up to the side building. Lots of older merch for sale. I found some vhs tapes and had my little ones guess what they were."
"I personally didn’t honestly know much about popeye but my friend and his family knew a lot and it was honestly a very interesting/cool place to see and experience if you know about popeye you should stop by. it’s free to go just asks for a donation and it’s a cool spot"
