    Montgomery, AL – The Montgomery Zoo and Montgomery Area Zoological Society (MAZS) are thrilled to announce the return of the WILDEST PARTY IN TOWN: Zoobilation. This year’s event will take place on Thursday, September 12, 2024, at the Montgomery Zoo. Gates will open at 6:00 PM for an evening filled with entertainment, culinary delights, and fundraising, all in support of one of the River Region’s most cherished cultural and educational institutions.
     
    Zoobilation is the Montgomery Zoo’s largest annual fundraising event, and this year’s efforts will be to help raise funds for the development of a new Reptile Facility. The existing exhibit, while beloved, is ready for an upgrade. The new facility will feature a variety of species and become a fresh home for our current reptile collection. We are excited for this new growth at the zoo and can’t wait to show guests our plans.
     
    Guests will enjoy samplings from some of the region’s finest restaurants and beverage vendors, alongside live entertainment from local artists. Additionally, guests can participate in a digital auction with unique items and experiences up for grabs. As always, there will be a few surprises to make the evening truly unforgettable.

    • Individual Tickets: $65 per ticket
