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.

Beautiful gardens with a nice variety of plants and flowers along with great views of SLC. We got in free since we are members at the Dallas Arboretum and they have a reciprocal arrangement. So, not sure on the value.

Washington Square

This is a nice little park for walking around. A very small homeless population, but very pretty with the building and fountains. The library is nearby, which was a nice stop, too.
