'''Parc Omega''' is a [[safari park]] in [[Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, Quebec]], Canada (just north of [[Montebello, Quebec|Montebello]]). Along a {{convert|12|km|adj=on}} nature route are lakes, meadows, small valleys, forests, and rocky hills. It is home to many wildlife species including [[North American beaver|beaver]], [[Manitoban elk|elk]], [[raccoon]], [[eastern wolf|timber wolf]], [[northeastern coyote|coyote]], [[muskox]], [[whitetail deer]], [[mule deer]], [[yellow bellied marmot]], [[turtle]], [[wild boar|boar]], [[red fox]], [[Alpine ibex]], [[Boreal woodland caribou|caribou]], [[American black bear|black bear]], [[wolverine]], [[eastern moose|moose]], [[wild turkey]], [[cougar]], [[canadian lynx]], [[bobcat]], [[eastern mole]], [[american badger]], [[american antelope]] and [[wood bison|bison]]. During the summer there are shows featuring birds of prey especially [[bald eagle]]s. The site also has a restaurant with a panoramic view, a gift shop with Indigenous crafts, a woodstove-heated [[yurt]], and a small outdoor stage for performances. The park is open daily, year round. 

The park is a drive-through experience, meaning visitors stay in their cars and drive at a slow speed 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 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 fed to "safe" animals (elk, deer, etc.) throughout the tour, which come up to a visitor's car for treats.
