parc omega

My fiancee and I are in our mid-thirties and we went last Saturday and had a blast. Winter is the best time to go, we saw a lot more animals out and about and they are easier to see with the foliage gone. The Bison and the Wild Boars are adorable. The Gray Wolves were the highlight of the trip. We saw all the animals except the Bears, as I assume they are hibernating. One bag of carrots each was just enough to have fun feeding all the animals. The Sugarbush was open and we had delicious maple on snow. I highly recommend Parc Omega.

Our son loved the fact the Elk stuck their heads right into the car. Can't get much closer than that. Great for younger kids. BRING YOUR OWN CARROTS!! They sell them but higher $ than at the grocery. There are fences around some of the animals but it was still exciting to see Moose and Bison. Watching the coyotes drool over a group of turkeys on the road was amusing. Especially when cars ahead still tried to feed the coyotes carrots...Would be interesting to see if animals more active in the summer.

There's not too much we can do outdoor during the winter if we don't ski or skate. This place is definitely worth the drive out of montreal. There are tons of animals and we can feed them. It was a lot of fun for two grown up to get close and personal with the animals

As tourists from Australia we were very impressed with the experience. the interaction with the deer was fun and fabulous. The photo opportunities were unending. The bison, moose and other animals were awe inspiring. the wolves were a highlight.Value for money was excellent we would recommend this to any travellers.

This is a very well kept attraction. The grounds are a perfect mix of wilderness and the comforts and safety of a car visit - not too much sterile so the take out the fun, but also not too much wild so as to make it impossible for un untrained person.Kids love it and wildlife-lover adults will also have a great time.Don't miss!

The park provides a great opportunity to see the animals close up. The rolling landscape provides an excellent natural backdrop.

A great place to do photography or an outing with family or friends. Dress warm in winter and be prepared to walk up hill on the wolf trail. Need a lot of carrots and save some carrots for the end of the drive in the park for the ones who you missed on arrival. Great food in the restaurant or bring your own. Bathroom clean and wheelchair acc. Gift shop is amazing. The restaurant is warm after being outside on the trail. Make sure you see the red fox near the restaurant deck. We almost missed the 2 red foxes. They are shy so walk slowly on the snowy deck and look under the pine trees on the left where the den is. You can see them better in the woman's washroom window when they are shy near the den. The animals are up close and great for any photo's. Go early to get the best light and no car line ups in winter. I did miss the bears but photographed so many others. Next trip in Fall or Spring for the bears. The Groupon coupon online is $13.00 is accepted and group rate for 16 people . The birds on the restaurant deck were fun to watch at lunch. We did have a problem with the snowy roads in February at the park trail inside. Make sure you have good winter tires for the hills are not sanded and icy. Staff amazing and helpful. A great 6 hour visit. Prepare to go home by 3pm or you hit a lot of traffic in Ottawa on your return. Goggle map the best route for your day. Plan a good 2 hours each way if you live in Ottawa. Well marked signs for the Parc. When you arrive in winter go up to the restaurant to pay due to no on in the first booth up the hill at entrance. A little parking lot so get there by 10 am on arrival. Be patient with cars taking photo's ahead of you. A few fences make it hard to see the animals in snowdrifts. The window 1/2 way is good to keep the elk out of the vehicle. Throw the carrots to them to keep them from licking your car window and get a great photo near the car on the trail. Drive slow it is hard to see the next car on the hill. A great day.

My wife did a Groupon for this day outing and I can't say how grateful I am for it. We arrived right at opening and had a large bag of carrots at the ready because the website explained the veggies are like candy to the animals. I was absolutely astonished at both the variety and the quantity of animals in this park. It was great to have these large animals come to the window and take the carrots from your hands. Great photo opportunities and the park itself is very well kept. There is a sugar shack where we had taffy on the snow and there are several places in the park where you can stop and hand feed deer. A truly fantastic outing and is not age restrictive. We went in the winter (22 February 2015) and the roads were very well groomed and the crowds were at a minimum, highly recommend it!

Stopped here on the way to Tremblant on the advice of my vet back home in the UK who raved about it - he was not wrong - it's the equivalent of a safari park but full of indigenous north American wildlife who for the price of a carrot will poke their heads through your car window. Couldn't stop laughing at the antics of the wild boar piglets. It was really quiet when we drove through which gave us loads of time to enjoy the animals and the wildlife - hire car windows needed a good wash to get all the elk tongue slobber off though and watch out for the mountain goats who tried to practice their climbing skills on the car!!!!

We didn't know quite what to expect beyond their website and online reviews, and were a little apprehensive when we visited on a recent weekday and found hardly any visitors as we walked into the main cabin where you pay for admission. However, it turned out that this was an excellent day to visit, since there were very few cars going around and we could watch and feed the animals for as long as we liked. You have to be very careful when driving through the park because there are really quite a lot of animals, including baby deer and boars that mill around the car seeking carrots.The ibex proved to be the most aggressive of the lot and tried to crash through our rear window with his hooves, so perhaps not for the faint of heart. We all had an excellent time and managed to get tons of cool photos. Definitely recommended.

Really enjoyed my first trip here. Will spend mire time next time,, which will probably be in summer, not because it will be better then, but just so I can see the park and animals in a different environment. Very cool seeing the animals in their natural habitat, all looking very healthy. Thewolves at yhe boardwalk looked magnificent.Really enjoyed my own experience here, but kids would probably love it!Reasonably priced, value for money.

Love it every time I go visit these animals, I go 5-6 times per year. They roam freely in their section... Large fields, woods and lots of food for these beauties! Very Enjoyable for the whole family!

Nice experience ... cool animals ... a bit sparse in numbers. Drive thru and take your time so you don't miss sightings.

Took my girl friend here for a date. Even during the winter it was quite busy but not too much. The animals walk right up to your car and you can feed them carrots. I suggest brining lots of carrots, go to the store and buy them. Its $2.50 a bag and they go fast. Really great place to take your family, kids or girl friend. Pricey but worth it.

PROS: Lots of animals to see, you can some of them with carrotsCONS: It's fairly expensive, when busy drivers get in the way, no guarantee to see all animalsUpon reading about Parc Omega I hadn't realised that it is, in essence, a winter safari. You drive around a fixed route in a large park and see lots of amazing animals. Elk, watipi, boar, wolves, deer, goats, foxes, bison, and all sorts of others. Many, but not all, come right up to your vehicle as they know they'll get fed. It's fun, whether you're a kid or an adult. There are three walking spots around the park too, which makes for a nice change, and you can get close to the wild deer, that will happily take carrots from your hand (these are sold in the Parc shop). Only disappointment were some drivers getting in the way - much preferred the not-so-busy stretches where everything felt more natural and less theme park - and that we didn't see every animal. Had a riot with the turkeys, but didn't catch any bears or beavers... maybe next time!
