It was a nice Spring day +10 degrees, but it was still cold on the farm. I left my mitts at home and brought a thin jacket. Thank goodness there were fire pits across the lot to warm up. Since most of the activities are outside, except for the petting zoo, my advice would be to dress in layers and bring a pair of mitts and a good pair of boots. Don't forget to bring a backpack with extra snacks and water. Due to covid only a certain amount of guests can be on the lot at one time, so they have an online booking system to pre book your tickets. They fill up fast, so my suggestion is to plan at least a week ahead and book your time slot. The hubby and I paid just under 11 bucks each for entry, which came with a voucher for a snack (maple taffy on a stick, maple candy) and a drink (hot chocolate, juice, coffee). OR you can just pay for the entry which I believe was $5.95. Kids under 3 are free. There is a wagon ride that takes you to where the food is once you are on the lot. You can also skip all that and just drive up to it on your own and park on the street. Porta potty washrooms on site. Lots of play structures. Staff were super friendly.

Staff was very friendly and gave some interesting insight into some unique behaviors that some of their animals have. Tons of different animals, some were quite unique. The guinea singing dog was pretty interesting to hear. It was nice to see that these were rescues and that they are being pretty well cared for. Huge amount of scooters and buggies for kids and a pretty decent playground. Picnic areas inside as well. It was a really pleasant experience walking the grounds and seeing the animals and the staff caring for them. The feed was a lot of fun for our daughter to feed the sheep and goats as well.

The place is far too small, the bathrooms are disgusting, and it doesn't have a lot of the professional touches a zoo should have (maps, guides, friendly staff, informational stuff, etc.) It looks like someone's backyard project that they lost interest in. They said the new owners were going to focus on rehabbing the place and conservation, but from what I've seen that isn't much of a priority. It's a real shame. I went when I was a kid and even back then I thought it was bad, I went back as an adult to see if it has improved - it hasn't.

The park also sell carrots in the park for $2 a pound. There are few different activities in the park. I join the wolves introduction and the wolves pack is there to see .

While staying in Montebello, we decided to visit Parc Omega, this reserve for assorted wild animals…read morethat enables you to drive through a car trail, where you can even feed select animals. It was a super time, even though not all the animals in the park come in close proximity to your vehicle. The park provides English and French FM radio narrations with interesting details accompanying you while advancing along the car trail. My family had been here 11 years before, but the last trip I made to a place like this was NJ's Jungle Habitat in my teens. They knew to bring along bags of carrots, since you can feed certain animals. (If you don't BYOC, i.e., "Bring Your Own Carrots," you can buy them there.) You're mostly limited to deer type animals and discouraged from feeding males, since it's mating season. That being said, the male deer seemed docile and everyone disregarded that instruction. (Of course, do so at your own risk!) With different habitats, there were wild boar, bears, white wolves, caribou, to name a few - but we didn't feed these. The park staff does keep those all well fed. An Alpine Ibex did approach our car, eager for carrots. We did bypass the petting zoo portion, due to adjacent parking lots being full. While I would have enjoyed looping around a 2nd time, the others were frustrated with the traffic and decided it was time. Even though we tried to avoid the peak times, it seemed that wasn't the case. Definitely, Parc Omega is a wonderful experience, more engaging than a zoo. It's especially great fun for kids of all ages!!!

TLDR: Fun museum for kids. Lots of farm animals. Some parts are very smelly, lol…read more My husband and I went here with a friend and his kids. I think it's a great museum for kids, especially if they like animals or are interested in farming. There are lots of farm animals. They had horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, alpaca, turkeys, ducks, chicken, quails and rabbits. You can even pet some of them. They had some live demonstrations, which are amusing for kids. They have lots of exhibits, some of which are interactive. They had quizzes, and even video games like tractor driving simulators. There's a park with a play structure if kids need to burn off some energy. They have lots of picnic tables, some of which are covered. The only food sold on-site is from vending machines, so feel free to bring your own food. They do have an indoor area to eat by the vending machines if you don't want to eat outdoors. I like that they have lots of washroom throughout the site and also a few handwashing stations. They have water fountains where you can also refill your water bottles. They also have lots of hand sanitizer everywhere. They encourage you to sanitize your hands before and after touching the animals. I support good hand hygiene! Lol. There's lots of parking on-site. It's $3.75 an hour and the daily max is $9. (107)

They do have free range chickens and ducks running around as well. It's only $10 a person and it's worth it for a fun outing. If you do go please respect the rules of not chasing the chickens and ducks, you might very well give them a heart attack. And no one wants to see that. But I'd definitely recommend it especially if you've got kids. They've even got information plaques about all the animals around the place so it's fun and educational.

This place has been around forever, but I had never visited until last week. We didn't have a…read morereservation and just did a walk-in. I went with my toddler, who's two years old, and anyone over two pays the same price. I paid about $27 with tax for the both of us. They accept debit and credit. I found it expensive, but we had a good time and it's not a regular thing for us. If you'd like to go more often, they also have a Frequent Visitors Loyalty Program that includes 10 visits for the price of eight. You pay at the kiosk and then open the wooden gate to enter, but it swings back so it took me a couple of tries with the stroller before I did sort of a wheelie with it to use the front wheels to push the gate open. The farm has a park and play structures, play areas and photo ops, a tractor ride, a few picnic areas, little shop, and washrooms. They also have different farm animals, like goats you could feed, chickens, and sheep, as well as a pheasant, deers, and a couple of peacocks. There were definitely more animals, but my little guy was actually more into the park part so we didn't get to see all of the animals. There are also random statues of jungle animals that confused me, like zebras and giraffes, but my little one enjoyed the couple of statues of monkeys with hats at the front that you can sit on and take pictures with. One of the slides has one of those wooden suspension bridges and it's actually quite steep to get up, but has a big slide to go down that can fit both kids and adults. My guy did not wanna leave this one, especially after working so hard to climb up the bridge to get to the slide! Luckily, this is the kind of place where no one judges you for your children having tantrums and needing to leave kicking and screaming lol Definitely bringing actual food instead of snacks next time, and plan to spend more time here, maybe a few hours instead of one or two. Lots to see and do! I'd also love to try the tractor ride. It only runs every couple of hours but the first one was full and the next one went into nap time so we didn't get the chance to ride it.
