Although she sits about 5 miles southwest of Atlantic City, the drive is worth it; where else are you going to see a giant elephant? The six-story tall, 90-ton elephant has had a long history of preservation efforts and repairs. Built in 1881 in an effort to attract homebuyers to the area, Lucy is now a National Historic Landmark and a great place to take the family. Climb to Lucy's howdah (the platform on her back) for a great view of the Atlantic Ocean, and take a tour of the elephant's interiors, which once even served as a hotel.
Recent visitors give the massive elephant rave reviews. Travelers say Lucy is a fun piece of history, adding that it's particularly interesting to tour and explore the inside of the elephant and learn about the attraction's beginnings. Many also recommend stopping by the gift shop to check out the trinkets there as well.
Adults can tour Lucy for $8; kids ages 3 to 12 can visit for $4. Go on a clear day for the best views. Lucy is typically open Wednesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., though hours can vary by season. During the summer, the attraction is also open on Mondays and Tuesdays. Guided tours operate every half-hour and last about 30 minutes. Lucy is located just off of Atlantic Avenue in Margate City.
