A window into Lucy's past. ✨ This pre-1929 photo shows Lucy as she once looked from the long-lost Margate boardwalk—swept away in the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944. Behind her stands the beautiful Turkish Pavilion, with its distinctive onion domes. What other details do you notice? ❤️🐘

Today, we honor and salute all who have served. Thank you to our brave veterans for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication. Lucy proudly offers complimentary admission to all veterans and current service members with valid military ID year-round. 🇺🇸🐘❤️

Lucy + Sunrise = Pure Magic ✨🐘

Who remembers when Lucy made a guest appearance on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire?! Obviously, some creative license was taken in the shot, but still so fun to see. If you’d like to revisit, Lucy opens Episode 5 of Season 2. 🐘🎬🍿

Today is the day! Make your voice heard. VOTE! 🇺🇸🐘

New month, new hours! 🧡🍂🐘

Happy Halloween from all of us at Lucy! 🎃🐘

Thirteen years ago, after Superstorm Sandy ravaged Margate and the rest of Absecon Island, Lucy still stood tall — she will always be a symbol of strength and resilience, just like the people of New Jersey. Thank you to the Margate Fire Department for sharing this powerful photo today. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean. 🌊❤️

A little while ago, while sorting through the archives at Lucy, we made an incredible discovery — a visitor register from 1912–1916 filled with some truly remarkable names from the Gilded Age and beyond! Among the signatures are Vanderbilts, Rothschilds, Astors, President Woodrow Wilson, and even a Rajah from Singapore. The book also features visitors from all around the world — and yes, even a Ziegfeld Girl! Take a look! ✨🐘

Did you know Lucy once had siblings? That’s right, at one time, there were three elephant-shaped buildings on the East Coast! Alongside Lucy stood Elephantine Colossus on Coney Island and The Light of Asia in Cape May. Pictured here is Elephantine Colossus, built in 1885, approximately twice the size of Lucy, and sadly lost to a fire in 1896. The Light of Asia was torn down around 1900. Built in 1881, Lucy isn’t just the oldest of the trio—she’s the only one still standing today. The last (and greatest) elephant of her kind! ✨🐘
