Part of that could be do the fact that we went on a rainy day, but compared to Sea World which we had gone to earlier during the week, it was really empty. The good thing about that was that there were no lines to anything. We went to a few animal encounters, but I was not that impressed. The nice part was that unlike most zoos, the animals at the Wild Animal Park have a lot of space to roam. <\/p>\n<p>Click picture to enlarge:<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
