(Translated) Wow! We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. At the start, two hours seemed like a long time, but it went quickly. We had selected to use a pedalo and finding the right approach to guiding it along the path took a bit of effort, but was good fun. Fantastic day, full sun and just a few clouds (we could have used a bit more of those), some refreshing wind and we made it back in one piece. Well worth the time and expense we thought. Wow! We went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. At first we thought two hours was a long time, but it went by quickly. We had chosen the pedal boat and the most difficult part was learning to navigate it in the canals, a little work but a lot of fun. The temperature was great, full sun with a few clouds (we wish we had more) and a refreshing breeze. We did well! It was well worth the time and money invested. (Original) Wow!

Nous y sommes allés pour célébrer l'anniversaire de mon épouse. Au début nous pensions que deux heures étaient très long, mais elles ont passées rapidement. Nous avions choisi le pédalo et le plus difficile à été d'apprendre à le diriger dans les canaux, un peu de travail mais beaucoup de plaisir. La température était formidable, plein soleil avec quelques nuages (nous aurions aimé en avoir plus) et une brise rafraîchissante. Nous nous en sommes bien sortis! Ça valait amplement le temps et l'argent investi.
(Translated) Super pleasant. Well laid out kids liked. It is possible to see wildlife closely, snapping turtle, painted turtle, frog, snake, etc. (Original) Super plaisant. Bien aménagé les enfants ont aimé. Il est possible de voir la faune de près, tortue serpentine, tortue peinte, grenouille, couleuvre, etc.
(Translated) We had a lot of fun. We went with first and second second and everyone had fun. There are courses on water and in nature. There is enough room to eat and have fun between activities.

(Translated) The clues smell badly indicated. In many places they are missing what makes it not feasible. (Original) Les indices sent mal indiques. A plusieurs endroits ils sont manquant ce qu il fait que ce n est pas faisable.
(Translated) Really good family experience. The course can easily take 2 hours or more with the clues to find and to enjoy the calm on the water. Strongly advised.

Super fun for all the family, we were a group of 10 and we had a blast going through the maze. Not everyday you can see a swamp from within!
Everybody should visit that place! Friendly staff and beautiful nature.
A terrific place to spend a few hours in a beautiful, natural setting. Excellent for people of all ages, but those with children should particularly enjoy it.
(Translated) Beautiful Experience !!! ???? (Original) Belle Expérience !!! ????
(Translated) Very nice experience, discovering the labyrinth, by canoe ???? (Original) Très belle expérience, à la découverte du labyrinthe, en canot ????
It was a very good experience for sure, either with or without children. We had 2 kids and did only the viewing tour, without any riddles or anything, and had much fun. The staff was a bit weird and/or did not seem to care at all about us, which did not impede our experience that much.
(Translated) Superb place, very friendly staff (Original) Superbe endroit , personnel très sympa
(Translated) Good but a little too expensive. (Original) Bien mais un peu trop dispendieux.

(Translated) Really great for a family or couple activity. (Original) Vraiment super pour une activité familiale ou en couple.
We went on August 7, 2021. For some of us, it was their 1st time, for others, their 2nd time and for some others, their 4th time. Two of their paddleboard must have had weed stuck underneath the paddleboat as despite pedaling harder and stronger, those pedalboat were extremly slow and hard to manoever. Our 20 years old pedalboat at home was easier to manover and faster than theirs that only have a few years! The staff told us that they remove the weeds only once a day, by lack of time, and not between each client's use. People using the malfuncionning pedalboat were drenched. 2/5 for the maintenance of their equipment, poor signalisation and the animal words not fitting on the low dash. Too expensive for what it's worth plus they have increased the priced during Covid. Improvements to be made for sure.
(Translated) Really great experience for all ages. The children saw turtles and ducks and they were delighted! The maze is really fun and not at all complicated. (Original) Vraiment super expérience pour tous les âges. Les enfants ont vu des tortues et des canards et ils étaient enchantés ! Le labyrinthe est vraiment amusant et pas du tout compliqué.

(Translated) Superb and original experience. A labyrinth in a canoe ☺ Very interesting multimedia show. (Original) Superbe expérience et originale. Un labyrinthe en canot ☺ Spectacle multimédia très intéressant.
Fun activity for families! We went on a friday and all the food options were closed. There was also a few spots where other people were coming from the opposite direction and the stream wasnt wide enough for 2 boats so we had to reverse! Overall fun, more suited towards families with children
Great experience. Very instructive for kids. Great exercise the pedal boats! Incredible views
(Translated) The employees are welcoming, the place is clean, the labyrinthine marsh has no unpleasant odors, the walk is friendly and pleasant. (Original) Les employés sont accueillant, l'endroit est propre, le marais labyrinthe n'a pas d'odeurs désagréable, la balade est sympathique et agréable.
Amazing Experience. Mosquitos are big issue for us,other than that all enjoyed...

(Translated) To have! (Original) À voir!
(Translated) Nice place to go pedal boating (Original) Belle place pour faire du pédalo
Amazing place for ice skating in winter or SUP in summer.
Such a fun adventure. Arrived at 630 pm for a night paddle and did the adventure course. Make sure you follow the online instructions and bring head lamps and flashlights...you won't find the numbers on the course otherwise. The bridges are lit up and you paddle underneath them during the course. Really beautiful under the moonlight! Gorgeous projection show on a rockface. Worth the drive to Wakefield
(Translated) Nice activity. We advertise it for 2 hours, but it took us 1h15 because we were taking our time (Original) Belle activité. On l'annonce pour une durée de 2h, mais ca nous a pris 1h15 parce qu'on prenait notre temps
(Translated) Super beautiful ! (Original) Super beau !
(Translated) Great for the whole family (Original) Super pour toute la famille
(Translated) We did the "water labyrinth" as a family with 2 pedal boats. Parents and kids loved it. It's like an excursion in the forest, but on water canals. (Original) Nous avons fait le "labyrinthe d'eau" en famille avec 2 pédalos. Les parents et les enfants ont adorés. C'est comme une excursion en forêt, mais sur des canaux d'eau.
Great place to go if you're looking for something to do with the family or even a friend. Friendly staff and a all around fun experience. We did the paddle boat and it took us roughly 2 hours. If you love the outdoors, then check this place out.
Quel beau site!! Chapeau!! La glace est en bon état. Un feu de camp pour se réchauffé en sirotant un bon chocolat chaud. Merci à Melanie qui a éguisé nos patins sur place. On reviendra assurément en été pour faire le labyrinthe en pédalo.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME - GO ON THE RIDEAU CANAL INSTEAD! I booked this "Balade en pédalo" adventure in May 2021 for my birthday with my young daughter. It cost $63.24 (taxes incl.) to paddleboat 1.5 hours around a swampy labyrinth. Had we not gotten lost (we took a wrong turn), the whole experience would've been over under 1 hour. When we first arrived at the reception hut, we were given a plastic map for birds & reptiles etc to watch out for during our ride. We were told we'd be given a marker to write down our answers on the map. Once at the dock, one of the young employees who greeted us was in a very bad mood. He had no basic politeness and seemed very annoyed to have to explain things to us. Once we were on our way in the swamp, we realized no one gave us a marker. We did not see anything (ie. frogs, turtles etc.) except regular birds you would see in the city. This could be due to the time of year (mid May) & the cloudy weather that early afternoon. We did see a plastic snake that was nailed down to a piece of wood by the staff. A few days after our visit to Eco-Odyssée, I noticed on Facebook that there was a %15 discount for the month of May. This should have been automatically applied when I booked online - but was not. I sent a private message the company about this discrepancy. It took many back and forth messages for them to finally admit that their booking system is new and there are improvements to be made, and that the %15 May discount should have been automatically applied during the online reservation process. All in all, my daughter and I did have a good time - because that's how we roll. We make the best of everything! But do I recommend this place? Hard no. I think it's conceptually a cute idea, but in my humble & honest opinion, don't waste your time nor money, fellow parents. Renting a kayak or paddleboat at Dow's Lake or Mooney's Bay would be way more fun, scenic, and probably much cheaper. Hope this is helpful. Cheers.
(Translated) Wonderful experience! The staff are very welcoming and kind. I recommend this place. If you want to see the sunset I suggest you leave at 5 p.m. to enjoy the pink sky. (Original) Magnifique expérience ! Le personnel est très accueillant et gentil. Je recommande cet endroit. Si vous désirez voir le couché du soleil je vous suggère le départ de 17h afin de profiter du ciel rose.
Activity is great. Customer service is bad.
We spent a few hours paddle boarding down the lush green water canals. No mosquitoes at all. It was a very zen, relaxing afternoon meandering through the maze. The staff were very friendly and dedicated. Surprisingly well organized and the facilities were very clean.
(Translated) Nice experience with the kids, the turtles, the frogs, the view! I will definitely come back to that. We went back on our steps to find all the hidden clues. The instructions are clear and the employees very friendly! Pic nic on site, the place is beautiful, I recommend you. (Original) Belle expérience avec les enfants, les tortues, les grenouilles, la vue! J'y reviendrai assurément. On est retournée sur nos pas questions de trouver tous les indices cachés. Les consignes sont claires et les employés très sympathiques! Pic nic sur place, l'endroit est magnifique, Je vous recommande.
(Translated) Extraordinary experience! So funny! The staff is excellent! I highly recommend doing this activity with friends or family! ♡ (Original) Expérience extraordinaire! Tellement amusant! Le staff est excellent! Je recommande fortement de faire cette activités avec amis ou famille!♡
(Translated) Nice activity to do. Go there in the morning there is less traffic. You can stop on the side and grab your lunch. You can see frogs and turtles. It's really original and I hope there will be an expansion in the future to be able to have a reason to return. (Original) Belle activité à faire. Allez-y le matin il y a moins d'achalandage. Vous pouvez arrêter sur le côté et prendre votre lunch. Vous pouvez voir des grenouilles et des tortues. C'est vraiment original et j'espère qu'il y aura un agrandissement dans le futur pour pouvoir avoir une raison d'y retourner.
(Translated) very fun and relax (Original) tres amusant et relax
Loved it!!! It is challenging and fun, kids love it and had a great time. Me and my husband got a great leg work out in ????
(Translated) Clean and relaxing place (Original) Endroit propre et relaxant
Best i can say is its ok. Interesting concept, beautiful location and the setup is nice. It just gets really boring really quick. I actually don’t think its suitable for young kids especially if your kid has a short attention span. We had a four year old with us and he lost interest pretty quick. My older kids were ok with it but got bored fast like i did. Some people would like this but its not for me.
(Translated) Nice place to discover! (Original) Bel endroit à découvrir!
(Translated) Family friendly and calming (Original) Familial, sympa et apaisant
Great outdoorsy adventure! Recommended for any age. It's not too tiring and it is quite fun to navigate through the maze!

Super endroit pour une activité de pédalo et canot entre amis, en couple ou en famille. Plaisir et déconnection assurés.
This is a fun and unique day trip for couples or families. There is lots to see and do on the water.
(Translated) Very nice place total calm ???????? (Original) Très jolie endroit le calme total ????????
(Translated) Very nice experience, discovering the labyrinth, by canoe ???? (Original) Très belle expérience, à la découverte du labyrinthe, en canot ????
Beautiful place, well organized and COVID safe. I would recommend it to visit with kids. Only a couple of things, specially if you are going to do the tour with paddle boat. The activity will require certain physical demand (be ready to sweat) and the seat in the boat could be more comfortable (specially after 2 hours…) again, nice place but with room to improve details.
Very interesting labyrinth. If you find it too long, easy to find a shortcut to go back to the dock. Great service.
Great
Fun mini adventures. Lots of turtles, no bugs.
Amazingly well organized! The maps, the water trails, the maze, just a pleasure to enjoy this magical place.
Interesting place to visit, and lots of frogs and mosquitos, so don’t forget to use repellent insect before to sit in paddleboat.
(Translated) Nice place to go, but in terms of skating, the ice was really not beautiful, I would say there was not even 50 meters of good ice to skate. At $ 20 entry for an adult, it gets expensive when there isn't good ice and not a large skating area. perhaps review the prices at the drop when the ice conditions are deplorable and the skating space is so limited. (Original) Bel endroit où aller, mais niveau patinage, la glace n'était vraiment pas belle, je dirais qu'il y avais même pas 50 mètres de belle glace pour patiner. À 20$ l'entrée pour un adulte, c'est devient chers quand il n'y a pas de belle glace et pas une grande surface de patinage. peut-être revoir les prix à la baissent lorsque les condition de glace sont déplorable et que l'espace patinage est aussi restreinte.
(Translated) A great experience, The view is beautiful and the terrain too, the canoes are of good quality, a little game available to find plastic animal names, small wooden animals to follow to find your way, if you ever need to. help a number on the map is there. The negative points, the restaurant, not much choice and expensive for the quantity, we missed 4 stages because one of the wooden animals to guide us had disappeared (surely fell), (Original) Une belle expérience , La vue est belle et le terrain aussi, les canots sont de bonnes qualités, petit jeu disponible trouver des noms d'animaux en plastique , petits animaux en bois à suivre pour trouver son chemin, si jamais on a besoin d'aide un numéro sur la carte est là. Les points négatifs, le resto, pas grand choix et cher pour la quantité, nous avons manqué 4 étapes parce qu'un des animaux en bois pour nous guider était disparu ( sûrement tombé) ,
(Translated) The clues smell badly indicated. In many places they are missing what makes it not feasible. (Original) Les indices sent mal indiques. A plusieurs endroits ils sont manquant ce qu il fait que ce n est pas faisable.
(Translated) Very nice family and educational outing! (Original) Très belle sortie familiale et éducative!
(Translated) Very nice park and the facilities are very clean. Be careful to store your food in the car there are a lot of raccoon. (Original) Très beau parc et les installations sont très propres. Prenez garde de bien ranger votre nourriture dans la voiture il y a beaucoup de raton laveur.
(Translated) Beautiful adventure on a body of water ... Laughter and fun is guaranteed ???? To answer your question: Mr or Mrs Eco Odyssée ???? the 5 ⭐ would have been done if I had not had to pay a surplus canoe 60 $ (package reserved; eco noctura canot 3 people) it does not say that 3 adults is NO because maximum capacity of the canoe is 500 pounds ????♀️ (Original) Belle aventure sur un plan d'eau... Les rires et le plaisir est au rendez-vous assuré ???? Pour répondre à votre question: M ou Mme Eco Odyssée ???? le 5 ⭐ aurait été fait si je n'avais pas eu à payer un canot en surplus 60$ ( forfait réservé ; eco noctura canot 3 personnes) ça ne dit pas que 3 adultes c'est NON parce que capacité maximale du canot est de 500 livres ????♀️
Delightful, fresh, amusing, safe, exercise in nature. We were concerned it could be lame or small or unchallenging...it was none of those things. Staff we ere delightful and helpful and attentive. The website could be smarter, especially on mobile devices, regarding default language selection, how YouTube videos are embedded, and reducing friction/hesitation for new users eager to register by making the generous cancellation rules (e.g. weather) and the amount of flexibility there is upon arrival regarding start times for bookings more apparent. In other words, the website does the product a disservice. So don't hesitate: try this. Everyone in the family should enjoy it!
(Translated) A very beautiful site and which gave us the greatest pleasure to discover thank you for this great experience !!! (Original) Un tres beau site et qui nous a fait le plus grand plaisir a decouvrir merci pour cette belle experience!!!
(Translated) Nice place. Labyrinth difficult ile to easy according to the choice. (Original) Bel endroit. Labyrinthe difficile ile à facile selon le choix.
Very interesting activity. Love it!
(Translated) A beautiful little adventure in a swamp. Perfect lees of a nice day and a little "getaway" out of town. They offer a couple of course choices but you can simply be an adventurer and rely on google map to find your way. In all a highly suggested activity! (Original) Une belle petite aventure dans un marais. Parfait lies d’une belle journée et d’un petit “getaway” hors de la ville. Ils offre une couple de choix de parcours mais tu peux tout simplement être aventurier et te fier sur google map pour retrouver ton chemin. En tout une activité grandement suggérée!
(Translated) If you choose the paddle board, make sure you don't fall, the water is really disgusting. Pedal boats are difficult to control, lack of maintenance and / or adjustment. Better option, the canoe. But the whole place is pretty and the walk pleasant. (Original) Si vous choisissez la planche a pagaie, soyez certain de ne pas tomber, l'eau est vraiment degueux. Les pédalos sont difficile a contrôler, manque d'entretien et/ou ajustement. Meilleur option, le canot. Mais sommes toute l'endroit est jolie et la ballade agréable.
Could have been great, but our experience was ruined by the actual paddleboats. They take an incredible effort to move at a snails peace, and couldn't hold a stable heading at any point. The things just wanted to sit in one place and spin. They have canoes, and the customer experience would likely be greatly improved by the use of them. Canoes would be more authentic too...
(Translated) Original, smiling and efficient service. Must do it at least once! (Original) Originale, service souriant et efficace. Faut le faire au moins une fois!
Super location. Fun for both adults and kids
Activity is great. Customer service is bad.
School trip! Awesome!! Highly recommend it.
(Translated) Nice activity. We advertise it for 2 hours, but it took us 1h15 because we were taking our time (Original) Belle activité. On l'annonce pour une durée de 2h, mais ca nous a pris 1h15 parce qu'on prenait notre temps
Long ride on the paddle boat to see absolutely nothing. Even though the boat is covered it's still gets super hot and long. Strenuous activity and super expensive. Paid 56 dollars for a paddle boat workout. Not relaxing.
(Translated) We spend a great day very beautiful embiance a remake !!!!! (Original) On passe une super belle journée trs belle embiance a refaire !!!!!
(Translated) Beautiful area! Very welcoming staff! Super nice family activity. (Original) Très bel endroit! Personnel très accueillant! Super belle activitée familiale.
Very misleading website. It says in FAQs that there are hardly any bugs. It was a swamp and full of mosquitoes. I booked two paddle boats for family and one of them had spider webs with rusted flapped that was pain to move. We followed the turtle path and half the turtle signs were either missing or under water. Waste of time and money. Did half of if and returned.
(Translated) We loved our activity at the park! I recommend it to everyone! It is peaceful and very beautiful! (Original) Nous avons adoré notre activité au parc! Je le recommande a tous! C'est paisible et très beau!

Beautiful!
Really fun outdoor activities for all ages. Recommend!
We went paddling boating & boarding in the water maze and had a great time as a small group of friends! We really enjoyed the views and the surrounding wildlife. It took us just under 2 hours to go through the maze at a leisurely pace.
Great adventure for the whole family
(Translated) Very nice park. (Original) Parc très agréable.
Nice place
Beautiful setting and pleasant ride through the water maze. Could easily do this on a regular basis. Great option to bring family or outside visitors to experience. They have different routes you can take inside the maze and night options as well. Highly recommended.
(Translated) A magnificent landscape! The people who run this site are welcoming, helpful and simply good people. There are several choices of activity depending on the adventure you want to do which is great! I recommend this place 100% (Original) Un paysage magnifique! Les gens s'occupant de ce site sont accueillants, aidants et tout simplement de bonnes personnes. Il y a plusieurs choix d'activité selon l'aventure qu'on veut faire ce qui est génial!

LOVELY PLACE TO CANOE AND CRUISE
(Translated) Absolutely extraordinary. What a great activity :) (Original) Absolument extraordinaire. Quelle belle activite :)
Perfect day trip adventure. 35 min from the city, beautiful scenery! A must for "vacation" in 2020
Great place for family outing but would not recommend for very young kids
(Translated) Beautiful site with welcoming and on-time employees. We and our teenagers really liked the labyrinth on the water and the meeting of the owner who surprised us with his wild crow that he tames quietly. We wish them good luck in all their future projects (labyrinth rink, archery, etc.). (Original) Magnifique site avec des employés accueillants et à l’heure. Nous et nous ados avons beaucoup aimé le labyrinthe sur l’eau et la rencontre du propriétaire qui nous a surpris avec son corbeau sauvage qu’il apprivoise tranquillement. Nous leur souhaitons bonne chance dans tous leurs projets à venir (patinoire labyrinthe, tir à l’arc, etc).
(Translated) Pleasant piur explored the fauna and flora but the labyrinth was less interesting than what I had imagined. (Original) Agréable piur exploré la faune et la flore mais le labyrinthe étais moin interessant que ce que je m'étais imaginée.
(Translated) I really liked the labyrinth and the wildlife is really diverse (Original) J'ai vraiment aimé le labyrinthe et la faune est vraiment diversifiée
Nice place and clean. You can do water activities or go walking. Loved it.
What a great place for kids. They loved it, so unique and fun outdoors. Altho some argument on paddling technique between the children did occur. Coming back with friends for sure. a quick 30 min drive from Ottawa. Top class.
(Translated) The labyrinth is rather long I think, we had a fairly old pedal boat so difficult to handle it. In the comments I thought I would find some animals well apart from the geese there were animals that were lying around but made of plastic. We were an 18 month old baby and before booking I called to find out if it was possible we told me yes so k c vatiely after an activity for young children, PS: too bad there is no changing table for changing baby. Basically I liked the trip to the eco-odyssee park too much. (Original) Le labyrinthe est plutôt long je trouve , on a eu un pédalo assez vieux donc difficile à le manipuler. Dape3s les commentaires je pensais retrouver des animaux ben nn mis a part les oies nyavait des animaux qui traînaient mais en plastique. On était ce un bebe de 18mois et avant de réserver j appelé pour savoir si setait possible on ma dis k oui alors k c vatiement aps une activité pour les enfants de bas âge , PS : dommage qu'il n'y ait aps de table a langer pour changé bebe. En gros J'ai aps trop aimé la sortie au parc eco-odyssee.
This place is a hidden gem and deserves a 6*. Since we were 2 adults and a 7-yr old, I reserved one Pedalo which can seat 2 adults and 2 children. We arrived at 9 am, enough time to watch a 10min compulsory video, which was well worth it, before we started our discovery expedition, scheduled at 9.30am. This, I find, is the best starting time, as you are not under the intense sun, and much less traffic on the water. Customer service was just impeccable, and not just at checkin, but everywhere we met other staff. We were provided with a guide book, a map, marker, a walkie-talkie and a life jacket. After that, it was just pure adventure going through the labyrinth, following directions and clues. The marsh comes alive with lots of snapping turtles, frogs and small fish. It was a learning expedition for the 7-yr old as for the adults for the entire journey paddling away, enjoying the beautiful and peaceful scenery, which took us just over 2 1/2 hours. We had our lunch at one of the many picnic tables available everywhere. Happy to see that washrooms were very clean. This is definitely a place not to be missed.
Wait time
Lots of fun for a small group! We opted for the 2-person canoe and recieved a map to help us through the maze. Get ready for an arm workout. It took us almost 2 hours to finish!
(Translated) I loved the pedalo experience. Time to relax and laugh (Original) J'ai adoré l'expérience en pédalo. Moment de détente et de rire
A lot of fun!
(Translated) Nice family activity (Original) Belle activité en famille
Beautiful place, a fun day, take the canoes, the pedalboat is a ton of work!
Awesome.experience.for.both kids and adults!! My daughter and I really enjoyed it. Loved all the turtles!!!! Would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Staff were very friendly, as well.
(Translated) A very nice place to spend a few hours with the kids. A pedal boat or canoe, we discover a lot of wildlife in the marshes: turtles, frogs, beavers ... The team is very nice and smiling. To do without hesitation, even with toddlers. (Original) Un très chouette endroit pour passer quelques heures avec les enfants. A pédalo ou canoë, on découvre beaucoup de faune sauvage dans les marais : tortues, grenouilles, castors... L'équipe est très sympa et souriante. A faire sans hésitation, même avec les tout-petits.
What an experience! It was our first time to use a canoe and it was amazing! The staff are really nice and helpful everything is well explained and the ride was very calm and fun. Will definitely be back!
(Translated) Great as an activity for couples in the evening it's romantic! (Original) Super comme activité pour les couples le soir c'est romantique !
Fun day out with the kids
Fun activity, did it with 3 children (age 2, 5 and 7).three of them had a blast, the parent too! Was relaxing and informative. I definitely planed to do it again next year!

(Translated) We loved the experience! A good 2 hours pedal boat in a marsh labyrinth to look for animal clues. Nice family educational outing! (Original) Nous avons adoré l'expérience! Un bon 2 heures de pédalo dans un labyrinthe de marais à chercher des indices animaliers. Belle sortie familiale éducative!
(Translated) The pedalo course is beautiful. The bridge is mediocre. Hard to find a labyrinth. (Original) Le parcours pour pédalo est magnifique. La passerelle est médiocre. Difficile à trouver un labyrinthe.
(Translated) Great experience there. It's immersive, relevant, pretty. We learned lots of information on the flora and fauna we saw full of beautiful things, it was very nice. A great activity for both adults and children. The only downside is that we had problems with the pedal, they seemed a bit outdated. Otherwise, we highly recommend the place, it is worth it. (Original) Super expérience à cet endroit. C'est immersif, pertinent, joli. On a appris plein d'infos sur la faune et la flore, on a vu pleins de belles de choses, c'était très agréable. Une belle activité, autant pour les adultes que les enfants. Le seul bémol est que nous avons eu des difficultés avec les pédalos, ceux-ci semblaient un peu désuets. Sinon, on recommande fortement l'endroit, ça vaut le détour.

Very good
The maze in itself is amazing but the service we got from the workers wasn't optimal. We are supposed to write down things on the map but weren't given a pencil to use, we weren't given direction on how to get to the dock or how to get back to parking once we got off the boat.
Our family enjoyed the experience!. The staff is extremely nice!
(Translated) Nice adventure. (Original) Belle aventure.
The scenery is just beautiful and what a peaceful place! The staff was amazing as well thank you ????

(Translated) A pleasant 2 hours with the family! Bring something to drink with good weather (Original) Un 2 h en famille agréable ! Prévoir quelque chose à boire avec le beau temps
Do not get the paddleboat!!! I can't stress this enough, it's slow as heck and drives like pudding. I was alone in my canoe, 2 friends were in a paddleboat and we had to macgiver a raft with both vehicles to get them some speed. It was fun but not for the right reason. I repeat avoid the paddleboat. Maze is kinda hard too, multiple tracks, etc. Especially at night
Boring and tons of mosquitoes
Great attraction! Friendly and helpful staff and a great base to start your adventure from. This is a fantastic concept to experience a marshland environment. Our kids loved the clue hunt elements, looking for frogs, turtles, water bugs, and other wildlife and helping to navigate our boat. We spent over two hours on the water. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and pack snacks and a lunch and you'll have an awesome experience!
Greate place for kids to meet nature as a play.
Reservation recommended
Awesome. Kudos for building it and maintaining it. Lots of frogs, turtles, birds to watch. Nice explanations and booklet documenting the various lifeforms. Pleasant staff. Only downside is canoes not being offered.
(Translated) Very good family activity to do (Original) Très bien activité familiale à faire
(Translated) Good physical activity in quiet family on a low budget! (Original) Bonne activité physique en famille tranquille a petit budget !
(Translated) Beautiful activity (Original) Belle activité
Peaceful
Great adventure gem in wakefield area
(Translated) It is very difficult to control the pedals in the pedal boat. There are many corners inside. If the child is small, it is really crazy to go to the toilet. But it’s a very interesting experience, especially when it’s close to the animals. (Original) 脚踏船实在很难控制????,里面弯道很多,如果孩子小,要上厕所之类的话,真的会很抓狂。不过是很有意思的经历,特别是能和动物们近距离接触的时候
Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Facilities and equipment were well-maintained and very clean. The canoe experience is beautiful. We also enjoyed the play area and the misting station. Highly recommended!
The labyrinth is a fun activity with the family.
(Translated) Very nice activity out of the ordinary! I recommend the explorer course for more discoveries (Original) Très belle activité qui sort de l'ordinaire ! Je vous conseille le parcours explorateur pour plus de découvertes
Great group or solo activity. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the sunset, but definitely recommend!
Nice for kids and parents. We got lost ????????♀️
Had a lot of fun. A great way to get the kids out and enjoy some nature AND family Tltime!
(Translated) Great day ☺ On the other hand the adventure courses should use a little more the compass to make the game a little more interesting. (Original) Super journée ☺ Par contre les parcours aventure devrait utiliser un peu plus la boussole pour rendre le jeu un peu plus intéressant.
Very disappointing, paddle boat steering was broken; dock person told us that is the way it is. Could not complete half the 'adventure'. Should have taken the canoe I guess.
(Translated) Superb experience! The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. An experiment has started again (Original) Superbe expérience! Le personnel était sympathique et enthousiaste. Une expérience a recommencé
(Translated) Nice place .. would have liked there to be some info on flora and fauna during the course (Original) Bel endroit.. aurait aimé qu'il y ait des infos sur la faune et flore pendant le parcours
(Translated) A sublime and completely magical place (Original) Un endroit sublime et complètement magique
(Translated) Nice idea in nature, pedal boat experience, not easy, requires patience and tolerance. In canoe, the experience must be different. (Original) Belle idée en nature, expérience du Pédalo, pas évident, demande patience et tolérance.En canot, l'expérience doit être différente.
Love it
(Translated) Super nice experience of camping and canoeing on the labyrinth on the water. We were very well served. I highly recommend it. Thanks to the whole team. (Original) Super belle expérience de camping et de balade en canot sur le labyrinthe sur l'eau. Nous avons été très bien servi. Je le recommande fortement. Merci à toute l'équipe.
(Translated) What a bad experience! The marsh is so badly cleaned that the pedal boats no longer move forward. In addition, the pedal boats are dirty. The clues for the discovery of the site are also very poorly done, it is easy to get lost. I will not go back. It is much too expensive for what it represents, do not waste your money. (Original) Quelle mauvaise expérience! Le marais est tellement mal nettoyé que les pédalos n'avance plus. En plus les pédalos sont sales. Les indices pour la découverte du site sont très mal fait également, il est facile de se perdre.Je n'y retournerai plus .C'est beaucoup trop cher pour ce que ca représente, ne guaspillez pas votre argent.
(Translated) Great discovery! Lots of activities on site! A lot of good to get out of town and be in nature that way. The place is sick and the staff friendly. (Original) Super découverte! Beaucoup d'activités sur place! Beaucoup de bien de sortir de la ville et de se retrouver en nature de cette façon. L'endroit est malade et le staff amicable.
(Translated) Great family experience (Original) Super expérience en famille
Nice relaxing canoe excursion. Friendly staff.
(Translated) Very nice experience. We camped at the site, we were on top of a mountain and the views were amazing. We did the canoe labyrinth activity, it was awesome, passable and beautiful. The place is well maintained, the staff are courteous and cheerful, the prices are fair. I will definitely stay there again and highly recommend. (Original) Très belle expérience. Nous avons campé sur le site, nous étions situé sur le haut d'une montagne et la vue était incroyable. Nous avons fait l'activité de labyrinthe en canot, c'était génial, passible et magnifique. L'endroit est bien entretenu, le personnel est courtois et souriant, les prix sont honnêtes. J'y retournerai certainement et je recommande fortement.
It was fantastic, very beautiful nature and pedal in the river was amazing experience
We went on August 7, 2021. For some of us, it was their 1st time, for others, their 2nd time and for some others, their 4th time. Two of their paddleboard must have had weed stuck underneath the paddleboat as despite pedaling harder and stronger, those pedalboat were extremly slow and hard to manoever. Our 20 years old pedalboat at home was easier to manover and faster than theirs that only have a few years! The staff told us that they remove the weeds only once a day, by lack of time, and not between each client's use. People using the malfuncionning pedalboat were drenched. 2/5 for the maintenance of their equipment, poor signalisation and the animal words not fitting on the low dash. Too expensive for what it's worth plus they have increased the priced during Covid. Improvements to be made for sure.
We had an amazing experience! Great customer service and breathtaking location! I would highly recommend going with friends and family for a fun adventure or as a couple or even by yourself to enjoy the environment a bit more. I will definitely be going back soon.
(Translated) The pedalo course is beautiful. The bridge is mediocre. Hard to find a labyrinth. (Original) Le parcours pour pédalo est magnifique. La passerelle est médiocre. Difficile à trouver un labyrinthe.
(Translated) Super dynamic team. Who meets the needs if necessary! (Especially Élie who advised us well) Nice little outdoor base. (Original) Super équipe dynamique. Qui répond aux besoins si besoin! (Surtous Élie qui nous a bien conseillés) Belle petite base de pleine air.
Cool place interesting concept. The only thing I wish a little was to see some of the branches out of the water makes it a little harder with paddle boat Definitely good deal activity for family. Staff excellent. Washrooms clean.
(Translated) Great with the kids (Original) Super avec les enfanrs
(Translated) Beautiful and relaxing place. Great summer activity with friends or family! (Original) Endroit magnifique et relaxant. Belle activité d'été entre amis ou famille!
(Translated) Nice experience with the kids, the turtles, the frogs, the view! I will definitely come back to that. We went back on our steps to find all the hidden clues. The instructions are clear and the employees very friendly! Pic nic on site, the place is beautiful, I recommend you. (Original) Belle expérience avec les enfants, les tortues, les grenouilles, la vue! J'y reviendrai assurément. On est retournée sur nos pas questions de trouver tous les indices cachés. Les consignes sont claires et les employés très sympathiques! Pic nic sur place, l'endroit est magnifique, Je vous recommande.
We enjoyed the maze by canoe. It only took an hour but a great way to be out enjoying the colours while still social distancing. A great family outing!
We were 8 adults, ages 20 - 67, on 4 paddle boats. It was a warm sunny afternoon, some of the canals were cool ribbons in a lush green oasis, some were more exposed. We got separated in short order, everyone saw turtles, birds, and jumping frogs. Good memories were made.
(Translated) Beautiful and relaxing place. Great summer activity with friends or family! (Original) Endroit magnifique et relaxant. Belle activité d'été entre amis ou famille!
(Translated) Very nice activity, we loved it???? (Original) Très belle activité, on a adoré cela????
A perfect day for going around on paddle boats on a cooler but sunny day. We got 2 boats for the family as kids are getting a bit older. Our boat pulled right a bit so my son would use the paddle to correct the course if needed. Well organized for Covid protocols. It was a unique experience and the kids enjoyed it even though they don't like bugs.
(Translated) Bell place to do an activity with the family or alone. The place is wonderful, no mosquitoes, but a lot of dragonflies. Well organized water maze, very courteous and polite staff. There is even a very ... special host. Very pretty and costume, possessing a vast knowledge of the flora and fauna of the place. We will surely go back there maybe for the night course or to go skating next winter (Original) Bell place pour faire une activité avec la famille ou seul. L'endroit est merveilleux, pas de moustiques, mais beaucoup de libellules. Le labyrinthe d'eau bien organisé, le personnel très courtois et polis. Il y a même un animateur très...spécial. Très joli et costume, possédant de vastes connaissance sur la flore et faune d'endroit. Sûrement on va y retourner peut-être pour le parcours de nuit ou pour faire du patinage à l'hiver prochain

(Translated) Very well. We went with our 2 small children who are now 10 and 12 years old. We had a lot of fun. To redo. (Original) Très bien. Nous sommes allés avec nos 2 petits enfants qui ont maintenant 10 et 12 ans. On a eu beaucoup de plaisir. À refaire.
(Translated) Nice experience! All the employees we met were very nice. Remember to bring water, cap and sunscreen. (Original) Belle expérience! Tous les employés rencontrés étaient très gentils. Pensez à apporter eau, casquette et crème solaire.
This was a totally unique experience. We went for Father's Day and had a blast. It was well organized and the staff was very friendly. They even have us a Father's Day discount. There are good facilities on site including picnic tables, real washrooms with running water, and a playground. I highly recommend Eco Odysee for an outing in nature!
Great experience. We are 5 so taking the paddle boat was the best option. A little bit tricky the steering but after 2-3 min everything was under control. I highly recommend this place. A lot of fun with the kids.
(Translated) My kids and I loved the paddle boat ride through the maze on the swamp (Original) Mes enfants et moi avons adoré la promenade en pédalo dans le labyrinthe sur le marais
(Translated) Truly a beautiful place to discover with your family with absolutely passionate guides !!! Although it is a "swamp" there are almost no "bugs" (Original) Vraiment un bel endroit à découvrir en famille avec des guides absolument passionnés !!! Bien que c’est un “marécage” il n’y a quasiment aucune “bibittes’”
(Translated) Great place !! (Original) Super endroit!!
(Translated) Great place to enjoy nature with family, alone or with friends. We went skating last night, the ice cream was beautiful, the atmosphere was super lively (music, magnificent view, play of light, fire, etc.) and what to say about the little donuts in the canteen !! I recommend 110%. We will go back there for sure! Also accessible for the little ones with a cart for example, our 6 month old coconut slept the 2 hours we were there. Well done to the whole team, you are doing an excellent job !! (Original) Super endroit pour profiter de la nature en famille, seul ou entre amis. Nous sommes allés patiner hier soir, la glace était belle, l'ambiance était super entrainante (musique, vue magnifique, jeu de lumière, feu, etc.) et que dire des petits beignets de la cantine!! Je recommande à 110%. Nous allons y retourner, c'est certain! Accessibles aussi pour les plus petits avec un chariot par exemple, notre coco de 6 mois a dormi les 2 heures qu'on était là. Bravo à toute l'équipe, vous faites de l'excellent travail!!
(Translated) Great family experience, the trails could be better indicated but this does not detract from the experience! (Original) Belle expérience en famille, les sentiers pourrait être mieux indiqué mais sa n'enlève rien a l'expérience!
So so.
(Translated) It was great fun. Vrm to do again (Original) Ctait super le fun. Vrm a refaire
A lot of fun!
(Translated) Very suitable for boating (went here a long time ago (Original) 非常适合划船(很久以前来过这里
(Translated) We rented 2 paddleboards to walk in the marshes. Superb place. The view is beautiful. I dare believe that the walking trails are also beautiful. My only downside would be that the paddle fins rubbed quite frequently in the bottom or in the algae. Otherwise, the ride was perfect. THANK YOU eco-odyssee for the beautiful before noon. (Original) Nous avons loué 2 paddleboard pour se balader dans les marais. Superbe endroit. La vue est magnifique. J'ose croire que les sentiers de marche sont aussi beaux. Mon seul bemol serait que les ailerons de paddles frottaient assez frequamment au fond ou dans les algues. Sinon, la balade était parfaite. MERCI eco-odyssee pour le bel avant midi.
Great!!! First time using paddle board! Great staff, great scenery!! Loved it would recommend it to anyone. Lovely!!
We come here every year and it just keeps getting better & better. It was a little busier than it used to be but we still had lots of fun!!
Amazing natural ice experience. Nice fire to warm up, chill music for ambience. Bring a head lamp if skating after dark.
(Translated) Great activity for the family !! Ideal for initiation to canoe or pedal boat in closed circuit and in calm water. I went there during the day, in July. It was a bit hot. Prefer the morning or the end of the day with the possible evening activities? (Original) Belle activité pour la famille !! Idéal pour l'initiation au canot ou au Pédalo en circuit fermé et en eau calme. J'y suis allé de jour, en juillet. C'était un peu chaud. Privilégiez le matin ou la fin de journée avec les activités de soirée possibles ?
Pretty neat place.
(Translated) The labyrinth is really fun, allows you to discover the fauna, the employees are very nice. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of mosquitoes even though it was high season. Probably thanks to the dragonflies. (Original) Le labyrinthe est vraiment amusant, permet de découvrire la faune, les employés sont très gentils. Surprenament il n'y avait pas beaucoup de moustiques alors qu'on est en pleine saison. Probablement grâce aux libellules.
Great day trip! The paddle boat was a blast especially for kids aged between 5 and 10. The older kids will love the "bicycle effect" so to move forward in the water maze.
Great experience! $60 for a family of 4, spent over an hour skating around. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the layout is nice, lots of space for strollers, the music is a great touch. Not all trails were open yet so we'll be going back. And trying the paddleboats in the summer.
(Translated) Nice place to discover! (Original) Bel endroit à découvrir!
Fun time for the whole family.
(Translated) Nice little place to relax with the family. Really quiet. (Original) Belle petite place pour relaxer en famille. Vraiment tranquille.
More for kids
Fun outdoor activity for the family! Be prepared to paddle but pace and duration can be adjusted as needed.
We had a lovely experience with an 8 and 6 year old No mosquitoes. I was amazed I saw someone post about being bored and working hard Personally, I’m not in shape so it wasn’t easy but that kind of was the point. As for being bored, we don’t have a boat so, for us, it was an adventure It was hot so bring cool beverages. Look I stand by my 5 star review My daughter added her blurb below. Look, it’s the perfect summer family activity in my opinion on a sunny day. Try it out I loved going in the paddle boat and trying to find the animals we didn’t really pass the hiking game but it was super super fun while we were at the hiking escape thing we got stuck and couldn’t find our way to each animal when time ⌛️ ran out we had to find our way out again
