Nice to see a landmark like Lucy preserved. On a visit to Cape May we road up the road on a rainy to visit Lucy. We took the tour up into Lucy. An interesting history and fascinating visit. Be aware there tight spiral stairs.

We had been in Ocean City for the past two days and were about to head back to Philadelphia. Sne at the Scarborough Inn (see separate review) recommended we go back by way of Lucy the Margate elephant. Besides being a tourist attraction it is also an interesting historical landmark about 150 years old. Lucy is 65 ft. tall, we walked up the narrow spiral stairs to inside her body, then up more spiral stairs to her top. I attached a couple outside views of her, one inside the body and one looking out to the Atlantic Ocean from the top. The tour took about 30 minutes and happen about every 45 minutes.

We drove past Lucy the Elephant and decided not to pay to go inside. The exterior is quite a sight and certainly unique. I imagine young children would love seeing it up close and exploring the inside. It’s an interesting piece of history and a fun photo opportunity. Even without going in, it’s worth a quick stop to admire this quirky roadside attraction. However, if you’re not interested in paying the admission fee, you can still enjoy its novelty from the outside. It adds a bit of charm and curiosity to any drive through the area.

The best thing in Atlantic City. I was so excited to see Lucy, I have been seeing pictures of her for years. She is very well maintained and you can climb into her. Its $8.50 for adults and $4 for kids. But it doesn't cost anything to take pictures. You pay in the gift shop where they have lots of Lucy gifts.
