I took a tour here back in 07 and was really impressed. This is a neat area about 2 or 3 miles to the south there's a smiley face water tower which can be seen from Lucy the Elephant.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid on a family vacation to NJ. My mother told me that it had been a hotel, which, while being a popular story, is not true.
I only live 15 minutes from Lucy but I've never been inside. Tried to go once as a kid, but it was closed for the day. Since then the radio commercial's made it so annoying that I've had no desire to go back... but it actually does look pretty cool.
my great uncle is the man who built Lucy! James V Lafferty!!! Lucy was not repaired till after 1977. My family went up there that summer and took pictures with us kids infront of Lucy! I have been up several times since, last time was in June of 2005 and she looks great!
That's great! I got to see Lucy again in 2005, on a trip back home to visit my family. My brother and a crew did some repairs on Lucy years ago, it's good to see her again! Keep up the good work!
my mom told me the elephant was actualy a restarunt

My boyfriend's father is a Margate fire fighter. He said he gets so many false calls to Lucy the Elephant.

If you go to Atlantic City - a few miles south in Margate is a sure stop for some WEIRD NJ culture! Worth the visit!
