The new Easter Display at Oliver’s Place in Pleasant Grove next to Hee Haw Farms is happening again in 2026.. While this display is small and simple, it is an amazing way to bring kids of all ages and talk about the story of Easter. He is Risen Easter Display is free to visit and is open 8 am – 10 pm from March 23 until April 5.
Directions
Park at Oliver’s Place (125 S 2000 W, Pleasant Grove). There are lots of signs to direct you where to start. Follow the signs around the back of the building and you will be behind Hee Haw Farms and Oliver’s Place. There are five displays to check out in the He is Risen Easter Display.
The Display areas
First is the display with a mirror. The mirror says simply, “Who It Was For.” The message is to remind visitors that Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and in the Garden of Gethsemane was for everyone, including you, as you look in the mirror. There is a scripture next to many of the displays.
Next at the He is Risen Easter Display, there is a small garden area. There are olive trees, a rock, and a red robe to show the atonement of Jesus Christ. Next to this display is a case showing a scourge whip. This case has info about the whip, the garden, as well as the crosses, that come next. Make sure to read them and discuss them with your children.
The three crosses represent the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Just beyond the crosses is another display case with a crown of thorns and nails. This case talks about each of these objects. We really enjoyed that they had so much historical information about the items on display.
The Tomb
Finally, there is a small garden tomb with the scripture, “He is Risen.” There is also beautiful music playing as you walk up to the tomb. You cannot go inside, but you can look into the tomb and see the clothing lying there to represent Jesus Christ being resurrected and leaving the tomb behind. This is the perfect time to stop and quietly contemplate the Easter season and the Savior Jesus Christ.
We spent about 20 minutes looking at the displays, reading the signs, and talking with our children. It is a quick adventure, but we love opportunities like this to talk about the Easter Season. The He is Risen Easter Display is wonderful, and we are grateful to those who put it together and let us enjoy it for free. Please remember to quiet and respectful when visiting so others can enjoy their visit, too.
There is another Easter display that we love in Alpine called the Alpine Easter Walk that is happening the weekend of Easter. More info here.
