The animals

The enclosure was founded in April 1977 in view of the growing number of bison and to disperse their breeding. By the end of 2024, 128 bison had been bred here, 114 of them born in Gołuchów.

Besides the bison you can see Polish ponies, fallow deer and wild boar. You watch the animals from marked paths.

The enclosure is open every day, from sunrise to sunset. Admission is free. About 120,000 people visit it every year.

It is forbidden to feed, touch or scare the animals, to take photographs with flash, and to move off the paths. Pets are not allowed (except guide dogs), nor are cycling, rollerblading or riding a scooter.
