Parc Oméga

May 16, 2010

Parc Oméga is a safari park in Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, Québec, Canada (just north of Montebello). 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. There are also some hiking trails as well.

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.

since most of the photos we took are animal shots, there will not be too many captions... because honestly, there are just so many ways to write... another bear, a bear sitting, a bear walking, a bear looking sleepy, etc... ;)
