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.
