The island is part of a larger project funded by local agricultural supporters to promote rural tourism and cultural pride.
The park surrounding the island contains a unique collection of wooden sculptures depicting characters from Baltic mythology.
The site hosts an annual international festival, Naisiai Summer, which attracts thousands of visitors to the surrounding grounds.
The rabbits are kept in secure, managed habitats that are monitored to ensure animal welfare.
The entire Naisiai area functions as a private-public cultural initiative rather than a state-run park.
Rabbit Island is a recreational attraction located in the village of Naisiai, Lithuania, specifically designed as an educational and leisure space for families. The island serves as the literal home to various rabbit breeds, housed in customized enclosures that allow visitors to observe the animals in a naturalistic setting. It is integrated into the broader Naisiai park complex, which is known for its focus on Baltic mythology and rural heritage. The site features wooden carvings, sculptures, and landscaped paths that surround the rabbit habitat. The island is accessible via a pedestrian bridge from the surrounding park grounds. It functions as part of a larger, community-developed open-air space that emphasizes environmental education and local traditions.

Wear comfortable, flat walking shoes as the terrain around the island consists of grass and gravel paths.
Do not attempt to pet the rabbits outside of designated interaction areas, as it can stress the animals.
The outdoor park area is generally accessible year-round, though animal activity is significantly reduced during harsh winter months.
Do not feed the rabbits unless permitted by posted signage; do not climb on the enclosures.
