Me Ship, The Olive is a colorful ship that is an imaginative play area packed with fun from bow to stern. Across three decks you’ll find passageways, slides, climbing nets, horns, an interactive piano and more. You can even squirt unsuspecting passengers of Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges with water cannons as they sail by below.
