✨ Sometimes it’s important to pause and look back. This photo, taken in 1969, reminds us just how far Lucy has come. Today, she’s looking better than ever—and it’s all thanks to YOU. Because of your love, visits, and support, the world’s largest elephant still welcomes guests from near and far. Here’s to Lucy’s past, present, and future! ❤️🐘
Happy Labor Day from all of us at Lucy! We want to thank all of you for an incredible summer season. Whether you took a tour, browsed Lucy’s Gift Shop, or stopped by to snap a selfie with the world’s largest elephant, you’re the reason Lucy continues to stand tall and proud after 144 years. ❤️🐘
As Hurricane Erin moves north and churns up the Atlantic, it’s a reminder that Lucy has weathered countless storms in her 144+ years. From nor’easters to hurricanes and everything in between, Lucy has seen it all! This photo is from the infamous Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962. 💪🐘
LOVE this early 1950s gem that was recently shared with us! Meet George Wenger from North Philly — looking effortlessly cool in front of Lucy, holding his son Joe during a family trip down the shore.
In an era of crew cuts and cardigans, George’s tattoos and style are pure rebel energy, decades before it was mainstream. Is anyone getting handsome Popeye vibes? 💪🐘
One of the earliest known photos of Lucy the Elephant, taken in the early 1880s. You can see the scaffolding still up as she gets her finishing touches, and a horse-drawn carriage passing by. What a sight she must have been then — and she’s still turning heads 140+ years later! ✨🐘
