Visit one of the oldest roadside attractions in America.
Lucy the Elephant was built to promote real estate sales and attract tourists in 188. Today, she stands as the oldest surviving roadside attraction in the US. Lucy is 65 feet tall and weighs around 90 tons. Once inside, you will see a restaurant, office, cottage, and tavern. This is the first and only National Historic Landmark allowing overnight stays.
There is a fee to go inside Lucy, and visitors will take a guided tour to see the elephant (self-guided tours are prohibited). Ticket prices are $8.50 for adults and $4 for children. Each tour lasts about 20-25 minutes, with tours running every 45 minutes. Tours are estimated to reconvene Memorial Day weekend in 2022. Fun fact - Lucy is an Asian boy elephant, based on the number of toes, head shape, and tusks. Every July, Lucy the elephant has its toenails painted in preparation for its birthday.
