If you want a good picture with it, go in the middle of the day so that the light is good. We went early evening and the lighting was not good for photos.

A nice little fountain with a statue of Popeye in the middle. Would not drive too far out of the way but worth seeing if close by. My kids enjoyed it.

Simple little fountain with Popeye in the middle, and a tiny park, but it's nice stop on the road!

Super fun stop - if you’re driving east bound it’s easy to get to - if your driving westbound don’t listen to the maps app get off on the previous exit so it doesn’t make you back track.

Cute quick stop! No restrooms, but plenty of places to stop on the way in and out. Gazebo shaded for a nice lunch or rest. Parking lot across the street.
