  I have seen this a few times now and everytime it's amazing to think of how large this elephant was. The history of it is sad though how he had died. There is also a large plaque so you can teach your children the history of it all

  A very nice "monument" with a story; kids love it! Would be nice if an icecream/refreshment bar was available. Jumbo could earn its keep!

  Being a St. Thomas native, I have been fascinated by the story of Jumbo the elephant since I was a child. Thanks to a friend, I even scooped ice cream at the London Air Show for free to raise money for his statue! There may only be just a small tourist caboose at the location, but you can learn about Jumbo there, and find other places to visit in St. Thomas. Whenever I have out-of-town/country visitors, I make sure to take them for a photo with Jumbo.

  A place I visited 10 years ago and then again because there's a great story and history.

  The plaque is small but concise, as attractions for the city goes this one is near the top.

  A very large reminder of a tragic tale. We always enjoy visiting roadside attractions as you just might learn something.

  Jumbo is worth the visit but the tourism office in the caboose had been gone for a while.
