Bioparc de la Gaspésie, Wildlife park in Bonaventure, Canada.
Bioparc de la Gaspésie is a zoological park in Bonaventure that displays forty native animal species across five different habitats modeled after the Gaspé Peninsula's natural regions. These habitats include a marine bay, river, and tundra environments, each recreating the conditions where these animals live in the wild.
The park was established to protect endangered animal species through breeding programs and scientific research aimed at restoring populations across the Gaspésie region. These programs grew from the need to save species whose numbers had declined in their natural habitats.
The park reflects how people of the Gaspé region have traditionally lived alongside the local wildlife in these different environments. You can see this connection through the way the animals are shown in settings that match their natural habitats.
The park is open from June through October with guided tours available in English and French, lasting about three and a half hours. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for changing weather, as you will walk through both indoor and outdoor sections of the park.
The park offers overnight stays in rustic cabins near wolf enclosures where visitors can enjoy evening safaris and meals prepared with local ingredients. This experience lets you spend the night in nature and hear the wolves howling nearby.
