Parc Omega
Encyclopedia
Parc Omega is a safari park
in Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, Quebec
, Canada (just north of Montebello
, in which it is often said to be because Montebello is more prominent and better known). Along a ten-kilometre nature route are lakes, meadows, small valleys, forests, and rocky hills. It is home to much wildlife including moose, bears, raccoons, and wolves. During the summer there are shows featuring birds of prey. The site also has a restaurant with a panoramic view. The park is open daily, year round.
The park is a drive-through experience, meaning visitors stay in their cars and drive through the park on a winding trail. This is similar to Lion Country Safari
, except Parc Omega's admission is substantially less in comparison. (About US$14 per adult for Parc Omega vs. $21 per adult at Lion Country Safari.)
The park runs 2 low-power FM radios stations that provide guidance and direction, in English and French. The complete experience takes about two to three hours.
Bags of carrots can be purchased at the visitors center at the start of the tour; these are feed to "safe" animals (elk, etc.) throughout the tour, which come up to your car for treats.
