Welcome to
The Rockville Zoo Online
(The OFFICIAL site. Last Update: 3/22/2008)

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
With The Miller Missile's departure, and Wawa's impending move,
The Rockville Zoo Online is now inactive, at least temporarily.


However, the Spirit of the Rockville Zoo lives on in a new form soon to sweep over Montgomery County: MoCo Rising!

MoCo Rising is an event promotions and productions company focused on offering the MoCo party scene something worthwhile.
Due to launch in late spring or early summer, MoCo Rising is like The Rockville Zoo on steriods:

If you liked the photo scavenger hunts, there's more of that coming.
If you liked the Big Bang with live music, there will be a helluva lotta that.
If you liked our theme parties, rest assured you'll be dressing up again.

Please visit and bookmark the new portal to Good Times in MoCo:

For your viewing pleasure, The Rockville Zoo Online will remain available for trips down memory lane...

            The Rockville Zoo is the residence of Wawa (Chris), The Miller Missile (Lee), New Roomie (Dave), and Bongo (Bongo).  Situated near the heart of Rockille, Maryland and half a mile from I-270, The Rockville Zoo is a perfect place to party.  Features include: ample parking, beer on tap 24/7, plenty of couch seating, great tunes, and our very own jungle in the backyard (Bongo's natural habitat).  Our Saturday Night series (occuring every other month) are best known for never-ending flip-cup, meatballs @ midnight, and the most random behavior around 3am.  So make sure to come on by any of our events and see what the The Rockville Zoo can do for you.
