Temple Square

Info

This beautifully landscaped 10-acre plot of ground in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City is one of Utah's most visited attractions. Centerpiece of the Square is the 6-spired granite Salt Lake Temple, and adjacent to this imposing edifice is the domed Tabernacle, home of the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the great Tabernacle organ. Two visitors' centers with interactive videos, films, Old and New Testament paintings, and an 11-foot replica of Thorvaldsen's Christus are additional attractions. Enjoy a free concert in the Assembly Hall, a charming Gothic-style building on the southwest corner of Temple Square. International and local artists perform every weekend and some weekdays. View the Mormon Handcart statue, the Seagull Monument, and other statuary and fountains throughout the lush flower-filled grounds. In the North Visitors' Center during the winter months, the public is invited to attend a series of family concerts entitled, "Saturday Family Night at Temple Square." Christmas on Temple Square is a special delight to enjoy, with hundreds of thousands of lights sparkling on trees and shrubs around the Square, a life-size Nativity scene, and musical groups performing nightly throughout December.

This is one place we could stay at all day and not get bored. It has lots of things to do and see. We love walking around Temple Square and sitting by the reflection pond or going to the Church history museums or viewing the films. One of the visitor centers has a huge model of the Salt Lake Temple. It is very neat to see the different rooms that you aren't able to go into even with a recommend. Temple Square is a very pretty place year round

We went here on a weekday and were surprised to see all the brides! We had fun watching them take pictures as we wandered the flowers and sights around the temple. The family genealogy info was amazing inside the visitors center.
