Looking for Parc Safari prices for 2026, schedules, and what's changed? The zoo in Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Montérégie, is experiencing a year of transition. It is now open year-round and is focusing on a more boreal wildlife, adapted to Québec's climate. Here's everything you need to know to plan your family visit to Parc Safari, about 35 minutes from Montreal according to the park. An outing that delights both children and parents, with animals, games and memories to take home.
Parc Safari 2026: What's Changing
After more than 50 years of history, Parc Safari began a transformation in 2026 towards a boreal and four-season animal experience. Some species adapted to other climates, including giraffes and rhinoceroses, have left the park to join zoological institutions better suited to their needs. In return, new animals have arrived:
- Highland cattle, Przewalski's horses, elk, and bison in the Parcours Aventure;
- Cougars, snow leopards, and lynxes in the Tunnels des félins, alongside lions;
- Two Amur tigers, presented on July 29, 2026;
- The Vallée des daims, a new area where you can walk among the deer.
The park also announces new species, new activities, and new facilities for 2027, with a reveal planned before the end of 2026.
Parcours Aventure (formerly Safari Aventure): The Car Safari
The former Safari Aventure, renamed Parcours Aventure, remains the signature of Parc Safari. In your own vehicle, you can observe wildlife at your own pace; you will encounter bison, elk, Przewalski's horses, and Highland cattle. It's a simple and comfortable way to see the animals up close. Even though many still call it Safari Aventure, the route was completely redesigned in 2026. You can feed the animals with feed sold at the ticket office and the shop. Note: it is strictly forbidden to get out of the car, even for a photo.
Tunnels des félins, Vallée des daims, and Other Areas
The rest of the visit is on foot:
- Tunnels des félins: observe big cats up close in immersive tunnels: lions, tigers, cougars, lynxes, and snow leopards. A "feline snack" is part of the day's program.
- Vallée des daims: an area where you can walk among the deer and feed them. The deer naturally approach: perfect for souvenir photos.
- Ferme des cinq continents: a variety of animals from different regions of the world, in an accessible and interactive environment.
- Pavillon des découvertes: over a thousand minerals, fossils, and taxidermied animals.
- Presentations: every day, naturalists host animal encounters, for example with birds of prey like the Harris's hawk or the kestrel.
For an additional fee, a walk with an alpaca on a designated trail costs $25 per group of up to 4 people, and the VIP experience "Sous le regard des félins" adds $90 per person.
Water Park: Slides and Wave Pool
In summer, the water park has three zones, included in the ticket:
- Le Lagon: for little ones, with a wading pool, water games, suitable slides, and a shallow pool;
- L'Oasis tropicale: the Descente du Nil, the Boule à vagues, and three large slides, including one that can be done in a tube (alone or in pairs); a relaxation area with lounge chairs and a nearby restaurant; minimum height of 1.22 m (4 feet);
- The Wave Pool: waves to float and jump with the family; minimum height of 1.22 m (4 feet) in the deep zone.
Swimwear must be synthetic fabric, and babies must wear a swim diaper. In September 2026, L'Oasis is closed for the season, and Le Lagon opens only on weekends until September 20. For children, there are also two play areas, a wooden obstacle course, and free inflatable games, weather permitting. Bumper cars were added in August 2026.
