OMEGA PARK

A must-see attraction in the Outaouais region, Parc Oméga is a window on nature, wildlife and the history of Canada and Quebec, from the province's First Nations, through colonization and the agriculture of yesteryear. It's a place where young and old alike will find themselves immersed in the flora and fauna of North America. A visit to the park begins with a 12-kilometre safari in your own vehicle, from which you can safely approach and feed the deer. A number of walking areas allow you to get out of your car and enjoy the many activities and attractions on offer, such as the First Nations Trail, a one-kilometre stroll decorated with works by Algonquin artist Denis Charette. In addition to the symbolic decorations at the entrance, totem poles evoking Quebec's eleven Aboriginal nations line the trail.

Halfway along the trail is the Terre des Pionniers, the heart of Parc Oméga. Here you'll find a number of attractions and animal displays. From here, there are numerous walking trails (snowshoeing is possible in winter), including a path leading to the two-storey wolf observatory: an open-air section offering a veritable natural theater, and a glassed-in section for up-close immersion with a pack of gray wolves. Here you can meet an interpreter-guide to learn all about this legendary species. The Trading Post recalls the coureurs des bois and trappers who penetrated the wilderness in search of furs. As for the Camp de Bûcheron, it highlights the era of the log drive and the tales and legends of Quebec. You'll also find a magnificent souvenir store brimming with handcrafted products.

Other on-site activities and services include an aerial course, children's play areas, an old-fashioned farm, catering services and much more.

On-site accommodation: the park also offers wilderness accommodation to extend the fun, in tipis, Wi-tents, log cabins and stilt houses (ready-to-camp formula). Pod habitats and panoramic chalets offer year-round stays and an immersive experience for nature lovers. Finally, for a truly unique experience, you can sleep with wolves, a safe and unique lodging option in North America, right in the middle of a pack.
