1. Lucy the Elephant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 454 reviews
Originally named Elephant Bazaar, this six-story elephant-shaped building was built in 1881 by James V. Lafferty, Jr. in hopes of selling parcels of land located on the beach in Margate, NJ. Over the years, this unique structure has served many purposes -- most notably as a tourist attraction. Today, Lucy the Elephant is recognized as the Oldest Roadside Attraction in America and has been declared a National Historic Landmark. There is no charge to visit the site or to shop in the Gift Shop; however, visitors wishing to go inside the elephant must purchase admission tickets to the Guided Tour. Guided Tours through the elephant structure occur every half-hour during business hours, with the last tour of the day beginning 30 minutes prior to closing. Cost of Admission: $8.50 Adults (ages 13 and up) $4.00 Children (ages 3-12) And don't forget to shop our Gift Shop for all of your elephant-themed items, including one-of-a-kind Lucy the Elephant souvenirs available nowhere else!

My three boy and my wife and I visited Lucy this past weekend. We were thrilled to be able to visit the country's oldest extant roadside attraction. This history is absolutely amazing. My kids loved it and we enjoyed our visit. It was first class. We used a Groupon, too, which saved us about $10. But well worth it even at full retail.

A touching and beautiful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our country, as well as those who served during this conflict. A great place to stop while walking the boards in AC.
