Last year during the holiday season, I brought you photos and video that I took at Kraynak’s Santa’s Christmasland in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. This was a load of fun, and a couple of weeks ago we decided to make a return visit to see what their Easter display was like.

It did not disappoint. Easter Bunny Lane is equal parts adorable and psychotronic.

Just like the Christmas display, we got to see dozens of animatronic figures, with plenty of visual treats, both secular and religious.

Kryanak’s is a Western Pennsylvania institution, located roughly an hour Northwest of Pittsburgh. For most of the year it’s a a huge store filled with floral supplies, seasonal items and toys and general retail items of a particularly cool nature. At Christmas and Easter, a 300 foot long corridor on the side of the building is transformed into a holiday wonderland, filled with lights, trees, decorations and animatronics.

Let me quote from their website:

Kraynak’s was established 1949 in Hermitage, Pa. There are three divisions of the Kraynak business. The first is the main retail store which is the home of Santa’s Christmasland and Easter Bunny Lane. These walk through displays have become a tradition for many families. This location sells Christmas and Easter decorations, toys, gifts, potted plants from the greenhouse and fresh cut flowers from the floral department.

The second division is the Kraynak’s Lawn and Garden center, located 1000ft behind the original store. At this location you may purchase trees, shrubs, garden supplies, and outdoor furniture.

The third division comprises of six nurseries where trees and shrubs are grown for retail and wholesale sales.

Kraynak’s is a family owned business that promotes fair pricing and quality products. Many families over the years have made Kraynak’s their store for all seasons.

That humble description does not do justice to the elaborate and delightfully bizarre holiday displays, which are fully dismantled each year, with completely-new attractions designed and built the next year. Easter Bunny Lane is open to the public every day they’re open until the Monday after Easter. It’s a real treat for young children or adult stoners.

You can see videos of their displays from this year and many previous years HERE.

Here are my photos, presented partly without captions so you can just take in the wonderful visuals. Sunday, I will have some kind of video put together out of what Mel and I shot at Easter Bunny Lane.

The first section is just Easter Bunny Overload, with an earworm jingle that will haunt you for days. We will not include that in the video.

In the video you will see some cool animatronic butterflies that I didn’t get good still photos of. Instead, we have this guy who’se just cute as a bug.

Cartoonland is where all the celebritiy cartoon characters hang out to get their candy fix.

You will see more of the frogs in the video. Still images do not do them justice.

Fans of the Wizard of Oz will be happy with the (mostly) book-accurate depictions of the characters who have gone on to fame in a certain musical.

“Honey, the bears seem to have mastered the use of advanced tools and have acquired a patriotic spirit…in the woods.”

The bear version of Betsy Ross appears to have evolved rapidly due to the radioactive well water.

If they were THAT advanced, they’d have internal combusion engines by now.

You humble blogger will refrain from making any more “in the woods” jokes out of fear of a very patriotic mauling.

It’s a Roman Candle. Get your mind out of the gutter.

The Eagles wings unfurling is more impressive in the video.

We now come to the serious portion of Easter Bunny Lane.

None of the people to whom I sent this photo with the caption, “Hey Jesus, back that ass up.” responded in a positive manner.

It’s not all about bunnies and chocolate, you know.

After three days he arose…and did some shopping.

That is our photo essay and this week’s PopCulteer. Check back every day for fresh content and all our regular features. Sunday you can expect a video of our visit to Kraynak’s, with some nice library music covering up all the jokes I made that were even worse than the ones that got into this post.
