Short, informative tours are offered every few minutes in different languages and I highly recommend taking one. In addition to walking through the beautiful grounds with lovely flower beds, great architecture and art, we were able to enter the Tabernacle and listen to an organ concert.

Salt Lake Temple

The original granite temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Reviewed By prchearing

The Salt Lake Temple is a very special and beautiful place. The building is magnificent, and its history is fascinating. It was built by pioneers who had been driven out of the United States and established their home in the desert valley of the Rocky Mountains. The massive stones for the building were cut from a granite quarry in the canyons and hauled by ox cart. What an amazing feat. The grounds are always beautiful, and the Christmas lights are spectacular! However, I think the best feature of this place is the sweet peaceful feeling that rests on you when you enter. The temple and the grounds are expected to be closed for four year for refurbishment.

The staff/docents were welcoming, accommodating, informative, and warmly received us. The architecture is gorgeous, particularly the stained glass. Would love to hear the huge pipe organ sometime!
