As of September 2008, this place has more than 10,000 elephants! It is well worth a visit, especially if you're going to nearby Gettysburg. If you're easily tempted by sweets, just walk around the grounds and two major exhibit rooms to see the pachyderm paraphernalia. But if you're a candy or peanut lover, check out the huge room of bulk candy, the stacks of chocolate-coated foods, roasted nuts, the Pez room and many other delicious delights. [Gaby, 10/20/2008]

Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum

Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum in Orrtanna, PA (west of Gettysburg)...sells pretty much everything elephant-related you can think of, including peanuts...also has a small walk-through museum. [Eric, 03/17/1997]

[RA: This is basically a big store, but they do have over 4,000 elephants on display, including a life-size one that talks.]
