Some zoos have larger enclosures for the animals, just take lynx or wildcat. A single wolf that you can't see is certainly not appropriate for the species. OK, we saw the bored bison but that was about all the positives... far from the natural environment which is only about 200 meters away

Suits very well for families with small children. Easy walk around the park is not much of an adventrure. The forest around is beautiful and bisons seen close interesting enough. They just don't really seem too happy being in the zoo, but someone told us they get released to nature and others replace them once in a while. Hopefully so.

The reserve has evidently been updated in recent years, it is very well appointed and has been modernized. However, for a chance to see the big bison, you need to book a guided tour of the forest. Here, the animals such as the Polish horse, zubron (a hybrid of bison and domestic cattle) and deer can be seen at close range. There is an educational display and a small shop in the reserve, and also a couple of stalls selling local products (honey, candles) and souvenirs. A great attraction for children.

This was an amazing experience and I particularly loved seeing the giant bison and the wild horses as well as the lynx.

Very disappointed. This is basically a glorified zoo, which would be okay if there are conservation efforts being made. My main issues were two fold. Number 1. The inclosures for the lynx and other cat were way too small. Number 2. I saw an injured bleeding wolf. There was no one to alert so I went back to the ticket desk and asked for someone in charge. The worker said he will call him later but I insisted he do it now and waited. I don’t understand how they expect to run this kind of institution with on worker at the booth. There should be grounds keepers roaming the property at all times and an on call 24/7 vet. I left feeling horrible. Would not recommend.

Lots of forest animals to see and show to kids and adults alike - not too far from Bialowieza village - hikeable with a bit of determination ;)

We didn’t see any bison in the protected area of the Białowieża National Park so we decided to go to the Bison Reservation. We saw several sleepy bison and one wolf in a small fenced in area.

Unfortunately, there were hardly any animals present in the reservation, except 2 zubrons. Very disappointing visit: why presenting horses or deers when people come to see bizons?

My wife and I love animals and of course wanted to use the chance to see the Bisons, ideally in the park.
Now it is not easy at all to get to the park (which is probably very good for the park and the bisons). However, this information is not that easy to extract from the National Park website - so we did not have a chance to get the tour that would fit our time possibilities.
For such people the Bison Reserve is a 100% chance to see the animals.
Frankly, it is a tiny zoo place, with a little herd of the bisons, a little herd of deer, some wild pigs and a well hidden lynx. I've seen certainly better ones in my life.
Now, if you want to see the Bison and you travel across half of Europe to see one, than you will certainly want to visit the place to see the animal, as it may be your only chance to do so. But if you want to travel half Europe to see the Bison Reserve place, I would probably advice to find another place.

The reserve is fairly small and an hour would be plenty of time to cover the exhibits.
Best left until late spring as early spring sees many of the cats snug in their burrows.
The bison, wolves, deer and wild boar were roaming around on their enclosures so it wasn't a total waste of time visiting in early spring

Is it easy to get to the reservation from Warsaw by bus or train?
Written August 13, 2017
You'd have to travel into Bielska Biala and then get a taxi or trip to the reserve. Unless you've a real passion for bison I wouldn't think it's worth the effort
