The facility was established as part of a restoration program to reintroduce the European bison to Wolin Island.
Many of the resident animals were rescued from the wild after sustaining injuries that would prevent independent survival.
The enclosures are situated within the historic forest landscape characteristic of the Wolin National Park.
European bison, the largest land mammals in Europe, have been bred in this facility since its inception to maintain genetic diversity.
The site includes an aviary housing birds of prey that have been rehabilitated by park staff.
The terrain is designed to mimic the natural habitat of the bison, including meadows and dense mixed-leaf forest sections.
The Bison Area (Pokazowa Zagroda Żubrów) in Międzyzdroje serves as an educational facility dedicated to the protection of the European bison. It is operated by the Wolin National Park and functions as a sanctuary for animals unable to survive in the wild due to injury or illness. The site provides a viewing platform that allows visitors to observe bison, deer, wild boars, and white-tailed eagles in a semi-natural woodland enclosure. It acts as an extension of the Wolin National Park's conservation efforts to restore the bison population. The area is equipped with pedestrian pathways, wooden viewing decks, and designated picnic zones for public use. It remains one of the few places in northwestern Poland to view these large mammals in a controlled environment.

Visit during feeding times, as animals are most active and likely to approach the fence lines.
Maintain complete silence while near the observation decks to avoid spooking the animals.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes suitable for sandy forest trails.
Do not wander off marked trails or attempt to climb the perimeter fences of the enclosures.
Open daily throughout the year, but the site may close temporarily during severe weather conditions or for periodic maintenance of the enclosures.
Do not feed the animals, refrain from using flash photography, and keep noise to a minimum.
