From 1996 to 2007, Jeepers! operated at 700 Hungerford Drive in Rockville, offering families an indoor mix of play zones, rides, and dining.
Wristbands, priced at $10.99 on weekends and $5.99 on weekdays in 1996, provided unlimited access to tunnels, slides, ball pits, and attractions such as a small roller coaster and bumper cars.
According to the now-defunct Jeepers! website, the company described itself as “a pioneer and a leader in children’s entertainment.” Founded in 1988 as Jungle Jim’s before rebranding as Jeepers!, the chain operated indoor animated theme parks for children 12 and under. “The Parks provide a broad variety of entertainment activities including amusement park rides, soft play areas and skill games, plus comfortable family dining and birthday parties—all in a climate-controlled indoor setting,” the site explained. Jeepers! emphasized its role as “a wholesome, family destination, giving families a chance to do something together right where they live and shop.”
Today, the site is home to Great Wall Supermarket, but Jeepers! remains a cherished part of Montgomery County nostalgia.
