Parc Oméga

Parc Oméga

Parc Oméga, located in Montebello, Quebec, is a sprawling safari park that offers visitors a unique opportunity to encounter Canadian wildlife in a natural setting. Established in 1991, the park spans over 2,200 acres of forests, meadows, and lakes. Rather than keeping animals in traditional enclosures, Parc Oméga allows species like elk, bison, wolves, bears, and foxes to roam freely within massive habitats. The highlight of the visit is the 12-kilometer drive-through trail, where guests can observe and even feed carrots to the friendly deer and elk right from their vehicle windows. Beyond the safari drive, the park features walking trails, picnic areas, and specialized observation platforms, such as the wolf observatory. Indigenous history and culture are also celebrated here, with a dedicated walking trail featuring intricately carved totem poles and educational exhibits. Parc Oméga provides an immersive, family-friendly wildlife experience that highlights the rich biodiversity of North America in a respectful and engaging way.
