"Our TouringPlans subscription was a lifesaver on our trip. One of the busiest days of the year, and we never waited longer than 20 minutes!"

Description And Comments
A 3-floor interactive play area designed like Popeye's boat, The Olive offers a chance for kids to run around and expend some of the energy they've pent up in lines. Besides slides, stairs and climbing platforms, kids can play with props including the ship's wheel, bell and throttle. Those who climb to the second floor will find water cannon which can reach riders on the nearby Bilge-Rat Barges. A separate play area, called Sweet Pea's Playpen, is available for smaller children.
Touring Tips
Usually opens at 10 am, or an hour after the park opens. If you’re into the big rides, save this for later in the day. Also take a few minutes to explore the shoreline pathways behind the ship; you'll find some punny Popeye props, and a little peace and quiet.
