✨ The Grand Exhibition: Frosted Heights



✨ Today's journal entry covers the Frosted Heights Exhibit in the Grand Exhibition, the latest room to become available within Olaf's growing collection of Valley exhibits.

With its snowy paths, icy landscapes and cozy winter atmosphere, Frosted Heights has always been one of those biomes that feels a little different from the rest of the Valley. Now, there's another reason to wander through the snow and gather everything needed to bring its Exhibition room to life.

In this guide, I'll walk through each display, the items needed to complete them, and all of the rewards waiting once the room is finished.

The Grand Exhibition is a special hub where items collected throughout the Valley can be placed on display. Each biome has its own dedicated room, with three displays - the Aquarium, Diorama and Habitat - built around the resources, collectibles and companions associated with that area.

As more rooms become available, the Exhibition continues to grow into a lovely little collection of spaces, each with its own theme and personality.

Frosted Heights Exhibit Overview

The Frosted Heights exhibit is divided into three displays: the Aquarium, Diorama and Habitat. Each one has two stages to complete, gradually filling the room with everything collected from this snowy corner of the Valley.

The Aquarium focuses on gems and fish, the Diorama combines flowers with blueprint builds, and the Habitat brings together food and companions.

🐟 Aquarium (Gems & Fish)



To complete the Aquarium:

Step 1: Collect all gems found in Frosted Heights
(Shiny Tourmaline, Tourmaline, Onyx, Shiny Amethyst, Amethyst)

Step 2: Collect all fish available in the biome
(Bass, Salmon, Tilapia, White Sturgeon, Crab)

All the gems and fish you need for this display are highlighted in the image above.

❄️ Diorama (Flowers & Blueprints)



The Diorama follows its own two-stage progression:

Step 1: Collect all flowers from Frosted Heights
(Blue Passion Lily, Black Passion Lily, Green Passion Lily,
Red Passion Lily, White Passion Lily)

Step 2: Complete two blueprint builds using gathered materials
(See image above for the full list)

The four Diorama builds have their own snowy themes, with materials from Snowballs, Iron Ore, Blue Passion Lily, Hardwood, Soil, Green Passion Lily and more. All required flowers and resources to complete the dioramas are highlighted in the image above.

🦊 Habitat (Food & Companions)



To complete the Habitat:

Step 1: Collect all food items tied to Frosted Heights
(Cherry, Gooseberry, Eggplant, Asparagus, Cucumber, Mint)

Step 2: Unlock all fox companions from this biome
(Black Fox, Blue Fox, Classic Fox, Red Fox, White Fox)

All required food and companions are highlighted in the image above. Before you can add any of the foxes to the exhibit, you'll need to make sure they've been unlocked in your collection.

 🎁 Rewards



Each completed display comes with its own reward, with one final reward waiting once all three sections of the Frosted Heights exhibit have been completed.

Aquarium Reward: Frosted Heights Aquarium
Diorama Reward: Set of 4 Frosted Heights Dioramas
Habitat Reward: Frosted Heights Companion House

Exhibit Room Completion Reward: Frosted Heights Puffy Parka

I have to say, there's something particularly fitting about having a snowy Exhibition room tucked away inside the Grand Exhibition. The Frosted Heights displays bring together some of the biome's most recognisable resources, and I really enjoyed seeing everything gradually come together. For me, this exhibit has the best of the companion houses so far - I love the theming and the lights, and if the game permits, I think it's something I may use over in the Wishing Alps, perhaps in Delver Dale or Wishing Way. 

It's also been fun watching this collection of rooms grow with each new biome. What started with Peaceful Meadow and Dazzle Beach has slowly turned into a much bigger showcase of the Valley - and I'm looking forward to completing all of the Valley biomes and seeing what rewards the remaining rooms provide.

If you're working through the other exhibits too, you can explore the Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, Glade of Trust and Sunlit Plateau guides for their full requirements and rewards here.

I'll continue adding Exhibition guides as more rooms become available. With the next free content update dropping sometime toward the end of September, I'm looking forward to seeing the final two Valley rooms being added! Thanks for stopping by and reading through, and I'll catch you in the next journal entry.

✨ The Grand Exhibition: Sunlit Plateau



✨ The next journal entry will take you into the Sunlit Plateau exhibit, another room that was recently added to Olaf’s Grand Exhibition.

With its warm colours, rocky landscapes and unmistakable savanna-inspired atmosphere, Sunlit Plateau has always had a personality of its own. The Exhibition gave me a reason to visit the biome to bring together some of the resources and collectibles it had to offer - though I did a little planning for this one ahead of time, collecting a bit of everything each day before the update dropped to make completing the room a little easier and quicker.

In this guide, I’ll walk through each display, everything you’ll need to complete it, and the rewards waiting at the end.

What is Olaf’s Grand Exhibition?
(Click on any image to enlarge)



The Grand Exhibition is a special hub where you can display items collected throughout your Valley. Each biome has its own dedicated exhibit room, with displays built around different categories of items associated with that area.

As more rooms become available, the Exhibition continues to grow into a lovely collection of spaces that showcase the progress made throughout the Valley.

Sunlit Plateau Exhibit Overview

The Sunlit Plateau exhibit is made up of three displays: the Aquarium, Diorama and Habitat. Each display has two stages to complete, with the room gradually coming together as the required items are added.

Most stages are simple collections, while the Diorama displays require a little more gathering and preparation before everything can be completed.

🐟 Aquarium (Gems & Fish)


To complete the Aquarium:

Step 1: Collect all gems found in Sunlit Plateau
(Shiny Citrine, Citrine, Onyx, Shiny Tourmaline, Tourmaline)

Step 2: Collect all fish available in the biome
(Bass, Carp, Perch, Salmon, Tilapia, Walleye)

All required gems and fish are highlighted in the image above.

🌺 Diorama (Flowers & Blueprints)


The Diorama follows its own two-stage progression:

Step 1: Collect all flowers from Sunlit Plateau
(Orange Houseleek, Pink Houseleek, Pink Bromeliad, Red Bromeliad, Yellow Bromeliad)

Step 2: Complete four blueprint builds using gathered materials
(See image above for the full list)

The second stage requires a selection of gathered materials, so it’s worth checking the full list before getting started. By this point in the Exhibition rooms, I’ve become familiar with the process and what resources are generally needed, so there are no real surprises with each upcoming exhibit.

One resource I noticed was missing from this exhibit was Cotton, and I fully expected to see it pop up somewhere in these blueprints, given that it can be found in Sunlit Plateau. All required flowers and resources are highlighted in the image above.

🐦‍🔥 Habitat (Food & Companions)


To complete the Habitat:

Step 1: Collect all food items tied to Sunlit Plateau
(Chili Pepper, Cherry, Cocoa Bean, Vanilla, Soya, Zucchini)

Step 2: Unlock all sunbird companions from this biome
(Emerald Sunbird, Golden Sunbird, Orchid Sunbird, Red Sunbird, Turquoise Sunbird)

All required food and companions are highlighted in the image above. Before adding the sunbirds to the exhibit, make sure they’ve been unlocked in your collection.

🎁 Rewards


Each completed display comes with its own reward, with one final reward waiting once all three sections of the Sunlit Plateau exhibit have been completed.

Aquarium Reward: Sunlit Plateau Aquarium
Diorama Reward: Set of 4 Sunlit Plateau Dioramas
Habitat Reward: Sunlit Plateau Companion Home

Exhibit Room Completion Reward: Sunlit Plateau Robe

There’s something satisfying about seeing each Exhibition room gradually take shape, and I think Sunlit Plateau is a lovely addition to the collection. I really enjoyed putting this guide together, too. The warm, earthy feel of the biome comes through in the finished display, making it another room I’m happy to have tucked away inside the Grand Exhibition.

If you’re working through the other rooms too, you can also explore my Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust exhibition guides here for their full requirements and rewards.

I’ll continue adding Exhibition guides as more rooms become available, and I expect Frosted Heights to be added in the next few weeks! Thanks for stopping by and reading through, and I’ll catch you in the next entry.

✨ The Grand Exhibition: Glade of Trust



✨ Today’s journal entry takes you into the mysterious Glade of Trust exhibit, the fourth room available in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition.

Filled with winding waterways, towering trees and hidden corners, the Glade of Trust has always had a unique atmosphere. This exhibit celebrates everything that makes the biome memorable, while rewarding you for completing another collection of displays.

The Grand Exhibition is a special hub where you can showcase the items you've discovered throughout your Valley. Each biome has its own dedicated exhibit room, featuring collections inspired by the resources, wildlife and discoveries unique to that area.

As additional exhibits are introduced over time, the Grand Exhibition continues to grow into a rewarding way to revisit earlier biomes and celebrate your journey through Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Glade of Trust Exhibit Overview

The Glade of Trust exhibit is divided into three main sections: the Aquarium, Diorama and Habitat. Each display is completed across two stages, gradually transforming the room as you contribute the required items.

Whether you're gathering resources, catching fish or unlocking companions, every completed display brings you one step closer to finishing the exhibit.

🐟 Aquarium (Gems & Fish)


To complete the Aquarium:

Step 1: Collect all gems found in the Glade of Trust
(Shiny Emerald, Emerald, Onyx, Shiny Citrine, Citrine)

Aquarium Reward: Glade of Trust Aquarium
Diorama Reward: Set of 4 Glade of Trust Dioramas
Habitat Reward: Glade of Trust Companion Home

Exhibit Room Completion Reward: Glade of Trust Umbrella

One of my favourite things about the Grand Exhibition has been how it encourages me to slow down and appreciate each biome again. The Glade of Trust has its own quiet charm, and completing this exhibit felt like another enjoyable reason to spend some extra time exploring everything it has to offer.

If you're catching up on the earlier rooms, you can also browse my Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, and Forest of Valor exhibition guides here for complete walkthroughs.

I'll continue adding new guides as future exhibit rooms become available. Thanks for following along, and I'll catch you in the next journal entry.

 Today’s journal entry takes us into the Forest of Valor exhibit, one of two new rooms available in Olaf’s Grand Exhibition, added with the 'A Hero's Journey' update.

With its towering trees, hidden pathways, and abundance of resources, the Forest of Valor has always felt like one of the Valley’s most distinctive biomes. This exhibit captures that atmosphere beautifully while offering another collection of rewards to work toward along the way.

✨ The Grand Exhibition: Dazzle Beach



✨ Today’s entry is all about the Dazzle Beach exhibit, part of Olaf’s Grand Exhibition in Disney Dreamlight Valley - a space that lets you showcase your progress in a more visual and rewarding way.

With each biome bringing its own set of collections, the Exhibition continues to feel like a cozy extension of the Valley itself. In this guide, I’ll walk through the Dazzle Beach exhibit, how to complete each display, and what you’ll unlock along the way.

What is Olaf’s Grand Exhibition?
(Click on any image to enlarge)


The Grand Exhibition is a hub where you can display items you’ve collected throughout your Valley. Each biome has its own dedicated exhibit room, designed to highlight your progress across different categories.

At launch, two rooms are available: Peaceful Meadow and Dazzle Beach. Each room follows a similar structure, making it easy to understand while still rewarding to complete.

🐟 Aquarium (Gems & Fish)

Exhibit Room Completion Reward: Dazzle Beach Button-Up
