About Temple Square

Temple Square is the most popular attraction in Utah with several million annual visitors. It occupies a full city block in the heart of Salt Lake City. High walls surround the complex, with wrought iron gates providing ingress on all four sides. Within is the magnificent Mormon Temple, the Mormon Tabernacle and Assembly Hall, as well as various monuments, statuary and two visitor centers.

The Mormon Temple

With a gleaming white quartzite facade and multiple spires that soar heavenward, the Mormon Temple is a truly inspiring building. Only LDS members are permitted within, but you may admire it from outside. This building is a worldwide icon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the heart of Temple Square. The massive granite edifice was constructed in a neo-gothic style over the course of an astounding 40-year period between 1853 and 1893; the pioneers who settled the valley sacrificed both time and material goods to the building of the temple, which stands as a testament to their faith and devotion. Please be aware that only members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are permitted to enter the temple, but all visitors are welcome to peruse the grounds and admire the stunning workmanship of the building and the serene beauty of its immediate surroundings.

Mormon Tabernacle

Adjacent to the Temple is the intriguing domed Tabernacle, home to the world renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the 12,000-pipe Mormon Tabernacle Organ. Though the building has a somewhat understated exterior, it is truly splendid inside. It has such extraordinary acoustics that a pin dropped on stage with a full crowd can be clearly heard in back -- 170 feet away. You can witness this demonstration and a more purposeful demonstration of its acoustics at the regularly scheduled daily organ recitals. The choir also performs on a weekly basis.

Assembly Hall

Across from the Tabernacle is the attractive, gothic Assembly Hall. It boasts a beautiful hand carved wood interior and its own impressive 3,500 pipe organ. It is now mainly used for concerts, specifically the Temple Square Concert Series on Friday and Saturday nights.

South Visitors Center

This building, just south of the temple, contains exhibits on the building of the Salt Lake Temple and on the family. Here you can also view pictures of the temple interior. The Visitors Center is staffed by volunteers who answer visitors' questions about the temple or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

North Visitors Center

Complete your walking tour of the center of Temple Square by stopping at the North Visitors Center, which offers the same hours of operation as the South Visitors' Center. This building is home to an impressive, 11-foot statue of Jesus Christ known as The Christus. Visitors can also view films about Mormon history and beliefs as well as other exhibits and works of art.

Family History Library

From the North Visitors' Center, cross West Temple and go south to the Family History Library, which gives visitors access to the world's largest collection of genealogical resources. If you have time, plan to spend an hour or two researching information on your own ancestors; volunteers are on hand to help you through the process if necessary. The Family History Library is open Monday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Tuesday-Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Temple Square is open daily 9-9. You can expect to be greeted by eager, cheerful, young Mormon women at every gate. You may also be encouraged to take one of the tours of the grounds that depart from the flagpole every 10 minutes. (You can expect to hear some polite Mormon proselytizing.)
