I only knew Allen Park as Hobbitville. The story of sneaking around to find Hobbits. The truth of Allen Park is actually far more amazing! A story that involves not only The origin of the Hogle zoo but also One of the larges bird magazines distributed internationally at the time.

Allen Park is located at Allen Park Drive and 1300 East. Public transportation is highly recommended.
