**Parc Omega** is a [safari park](/source/Safari_park) in [Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, Quebec](/source/Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours,_Quebec), Canada, just north of [Montebello](/source/Montebello,_Quebec). It is located about 70 km from [Gatineau](/source/Gatineau) and about 110 km from [Montreal](/source/Montreal). Along a 12-kilometre (7.5-mile) nature route are lakes, meadows, small valleys, forests, and rocky hills.

## History

Parc Omega opened in 1991.[1]

In 1996, Olivier Favre, a businessman from the [Alsace](/source/Alsace) region of [France](/source/France) became co-owner of the park. In 2001, he became the sole owner.[2]

In 2019, roughly 280,000 visitors came to the site each year.[2]

## Description

Parc Omega is home to wildlife species including [beaver](/source/North_American_beaver), [elk](/source/Manitoban_elk), [raccoon](/source/Raccoon), [timber wolf](/source/Eastern_wolf), [coyote](/source/Northeastern_coyote), [muskox](/source/Muskox), [whitetail deer](/source/Whitetail_deer), [mule deer](/source/Mule_deer), [yellow bellied marmot](/source/Yellow_bellied_marmot), [turtle](/source/Turtle), [boar](/source/Wild_boar), [red fox](/source/Red_fox), [Alpine ibex](/source/Alpine_ibex), [caribou](/source/Boreal_woodland_caribou), [black bear](/source/American_black_bear), [wolverine](/source/Wolverine), [moose](/source/Eastern_moose), [wild turkey](/source/Wild_turkey), [cougar](/source/Cougar), [Canadian lynx](/source/Canadian_lynx), [bobcat](/source/Bobcat), [eastern mole](/source/Eastern_mole), [American badger](/source/American_badger), [American antelope](/source/American_antelope) and [bison](/source/Wood_bison).

The park is a drive-through experience, meaning visitors stay in their cars and drive slowly through the park on a winding trail. They also offer three walking trails, playgrounds and picnic areas. The park runs two low-power FM radios stations that provide information and directions, in both 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 or visitors can bring their own. These can be fed to "safe" animals such as elk and deer, which often approach cars throughout the drive looking for food.[1]

During the summer there are shows featuring birds of prey especially [bald eagles](/source/Bald_eagle). The site also has a restaurant with a view of a lake, a gift shop with Indigenous crafts, a woodstove-heated [yurt](/source/Yurt), and a small outdoor stage for performances. The park is open daily, year round.
