The Montgomery Zoo and Montgomery Area Zoological Society (MAZS) proudly announce the return of THE WILDEST PARTY IN TOWN, Zoobilation.
This annual fundraising event will be held at the Montgomery Zoo. Zoobilation is a major, annual fundraising event for the Montgomery Zoo. This year is the night to reserve for this grand event which supports one of the River Region’s cultural and educational icons. 
     
In the past, this event, in combination with other efforts, have helped grow and expand the Zoo by adding the African elephant habitat, American Alligator exhibit and boardwalk, North American River Otter exhibit, Waters of the World Aquatic Center, along with many others. This year’s fundraising efforts will be focused on raising funds for our new Reptile Facility. The current exhibit has served us well over the years; however, it is time to expand and upgrade. The new Reptile Facility will house anchor animals; like Indian Gharial, King Cobra, Komodo Dragon, and Galapagos Tortoise.  Inside the exhibit, displays will be divided into biomes; featuring reptiles native to rainforests, woodlands, deserts, and montane. 

So let me invite you to join us for Zoobilation. The night will feature samplings from many of the region’s finest eateries and beverage vendors; soulful, toe-tapping, live entertainment; a digital auction, and a few surprises to make the evening grand and festive.
