Parc Omega

Parc Omega is a wildlife preserve that offers visitors many options to interact with the animals.  A variety of seasonal activities are offered, one of which is a 15 kilometer route which allows visitors to drive their own cars amongst the various animals on a designated trail.  Some animals may be fed carrots which visitors may purchase in the park.  

The duration of the trail depends upon how much time one wishes to spend in the park.  We visited between Christmas and New Years and were able to see many of the animals including deer, bison, wild boar, arctic wolves, ibex and more. Since the animals approach the car for food there were many wonderful photo opportunities.  





It is wise to review and obey the safety instructions.  We accidentally opened our window a little too much and the deer stuck his whole head in the car trying to get carrots.  While the animals are contained in the park, they are still wild which should be respected.  

Additionally, we were fortunate to have arrived early in the morning.  There were not a lot of vehicles on the path with us which made our visit very pleasant.  As we were leaving there were quite a few vehicles in queue waiting to enter the park.

They have a large gift shop and a cafe on the property.  I cannot speak to the food quality since I only purchased a cup of coffee.

We were a group of four adults and we had a wonderful time feeding and photographing the animals.  This park is fun for wildlife lovers of all ages.
