Oh my goodness! The quality of this tour has grown 10O0% better now that the Church history department has taken the reigns from the missionary department.I highly recommend this. You get the historical aspects of the home and of the period. Polygamy is not hidden or glossed over, but stated as a matter of fact way of life.The guides are knowledgeable and accurate and there is no missionary pressure or out of the blue testifying that can turn off non-members who are there for the history and asking members for referrals of their friends which has been a guilt-ridden staple of historical sites in the past.Such a pleasant and professional change!

It was a very enlightening experience. The missionaries are so knowledgeable and insightful. I recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Ive been living here for months and finally walked across the street. Should have done it earlier. I had a great time and learned a lot. Their historical memorabilia is to die for. Will be back with more time and bring friends next time.

You can see how the leaders then and now live so much better than the people theresuppose to represent. Doesnt that tell us something.

A very interesting historical location to check out. Close to the downtown shopping center that gives you a pretty cool glimpse into the local history of this area. All can be completed in less than an hour too.

Cool house, slightly awkward tour guide. They lay the preaching on pretty thick about their religion and what the LDS represents which I guess given their reputation as missionaries is expected. We also missed a room because another group was in there and asked if we could go back since they werent there anymore, they were quite apprehensive and you could tell they didnt want to which was odd we had to push them a little to take us. Seemed like they were not flexible and pretty strict, but again not unexpected. The tour itself was okay, aside from the preaching they kept throwing in I would have rather just looked around. I suggest asking them about some of the more controversial subjects that Brigham Young was known for if you wanna make it more interesting.

I have lived in Utah 20+ years and FINALLY did the tour. So worth it to learn more about the early settlers. If a big group (over 10), get a reservation ahead of time, otherwise you can pop in any time and get a tour. Tours are about 30 minutes, but theyll spend more time with you if you ask questions. Grateful that this gem has been preserved over the century!

It was an amazing tour of Brigham Youngs home, As well as many other prophets who lived there after him! It was very interesting, but also made me very grateful I didnt live back in that time period. I love electricity and plumbing! Brigham Young was very creative as well as hard working and whenever we had questions the tour guide was always able to answer them.

Just a short distance from Temple Square, youll see this lovely 2-story house and Eagle Gate. Even knowing this former home of Brigham Young is filled with history, I had to skip the free tour and failed to see the interior of the house. But the garden in front of the house had impressed me already.

This is another historical place that should he visited and is amazing. It is beautiful and is something that you can learn so much about Brigham Young and his life.

Loved the tour. It is done by guides now who know their history and we are able to get a feel about what it would be like to live there back in the day and the busy lifestyle they all had. Tour was nice and quick and they were able to get through quickly since we were on a tight schedule.

Our family loves museums and historical sights, and this was another fun visit. Weve been here year ago, when we used to live in Utah, and the tour is always a bit different depending on who is guiding it. Even if youve seen it before, you may want to stop by again.

Great place to learn some history. It is perfectly preserved great job on that.

We stopped in to see the house and ended up going on a free tour of the home which turns out to have been Brigham Youngs residence in SLC. We also learned a significant amount about LDS history that was very interesting. I would recommend stopping in if you have some time.

A fun free educational tour of Brigham Youngs home and the beginning of Salt Lake City. The tour starts every 30 minutes with the last one at 530pm. It is not long and kid friendly. I recommend it to anyone religious or not as a great history lesson.

Im not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but was interested in visiting Beehive House for its rich history and to learn more about Brigham Young. However, what I didnt anticipate was how impressive and beautifully preserved the house itself would be. I absolutely love touring historic homes, and this one is truly memorable.

Beautiful home. Fun guided tour.

Beautiful historical building. A must do if you are from UT or if you are downtown visiting from outside the State.

This place is awesome to behold in quality workmanship in the Intermountain West expansion time period. The restaurant is always serving scrumptious food items with an in-home atmosphere. People are very personable and the positive vibes abound.

Its a historical building that has been around for a long time. The society that owns it has put in a small eatery inside. The food they serve is good and filling. We went with family and enjoyed the food and company.

It was nice. Definitely shouldve been during spring or summer but its more if a one time thing.

Very informative and super friendly. 40 minutes well spent.

Wonderful historic place, missionaries offer tours. A must see if you are Mormon.

Really cool place to check out and learn about Early Utah history in the house of LDS prophet Brigham Young

This is a historical landmark building of original settlers. It is certainly worth a quick visit to learn more about the history of SLC.

Was interesting not sure I would do it again.

I had this cute couple girls giving me the tour, and I felt that what they were saying was true. Great experience

Its really cool place to visit for the history. Its neat a piece of Americas history. Also the craftsman is amazing.

Sure wish this place had a wheelchair ramp. Went here with my clients and could not even go in because it was not wheelchair accessible. Ended up being a failed event day.

The Sister who gave the tour was fabulous. The fact that she at 9 and her 100 year old great-great grandmother who walked the mormon trail. That story is priceless

I am a frequent visitor of The Beehive House. I hope to be back soon!

Myrle was a beautiful host, very passionate. I would recommend this 30 minute tour for everyone. Gorgeous home and history.

So interesting and the hosts and hostesses were very knowledgable and friendly!

The ladies in the house were very friendly and one of them gave us a very vivid guided tour of the house.

I think it could be better if more historical info were presented, but that would make it costly and I appreciate that they are keeping it cost effective for people to see - history belongs to everyone.

This was one of my favorite visits to salt lake. They have the house set up as it was in its prime with all of the amazing antiques. At the end of the tour they have on display the coat and cane of the prophet. Very cool.As a note, if you’re not interested in learning more about the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this is probably not the best place for you.

We had a free tour. Just amazing! Loved it. Very friendly and helpful staff.

This was such an amazing experience. Even though I am not mormon, it was a great experience. You got an in depth experience of the way Brogham Young lived. You get a great tour and see miltiple rooms with a history behind it. I definately recommend this is you are bored.

Interesting history. Fun to take a step back in time. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Awesome place to visit, beautiful view from the top, if you want to take some beautiful pictures that is the place to do it in :)

I learned so much stuff here. I got to see my great-great-uncle desk where he worked when working with Brigham Young

Interesting layout for all his wives and children.

Great tour, learned a lot about Brigham Young and his family.

Great history and an excellent tour guide

I love how the history of salt lake gets preserved and displayed. As this is a location where a former leader of the LDS church lived, I think it adds to the experience that his intellectual and spiritual descendants continue to offer the tour using the same faith promoted by Brigham Young. Great experience, and I plan on returning someday.

Well preserved historical landmark.

Historical residence of the Brigham Young family. Its a nice historical site to visit.

Very interesting. Take the tour to learn more.

Interesting historical site showcasing the high level of achievement and culture of early Utah.

Our guide kept contradicting himself on aspects of Youngs polygamous marriages. Very beautiful house though.

On search for the LOrd I enter into only holy places. GOD sure in this place. His felt inside. Id bear my testimony, of all things sure. Joseph has always had my heart. I pray to know of all things made known. These are the carnal intercorse hes testified for years now. He is beloved, as I am. Please be blessed.

I loved learning facts about the latter day prophets who lived there.

I love this place have been here 3 times. The guides every time have been wonderful and very knowledgeable. They also have had great sense of humor polygamy and all that stuff. Great place for family and the restaurant, and food is excellent.

Had a pleasant and interesting day touring all the Temple Square sites; for some reason the Mormon church chose this particular tour to really lay on the hard sell, though.For comparison, Id say the tour of the Tabernacle was 90% interesting history and 10% light proselyting, which was fine. I understand its a church, thats their job.The Beehive House tour was at least 80% proselyting. The two sisters were laying it on pretty thick with the testifying, and were quick to awkwardly change the subject when anyone asked a question about history.Brigham Young was a controversial guy. Polygamy, colonization and racism are kind of what hes known for. You cant just pretend that stuff never happened when youre giving a tour of the place where it all happened.By half way through, many people in our group were ignoring the guides and just reading the Brigham Young Wikipedia article on their phones.

We make it a point to dine here whenever we visit SLC. Great food and service!

Very interesting tour! Beautiful historic house.

Beautiful site. The tour was wonderful. They did a great job.

There is a lot of interesting history here, with a number of genuine artifacts still on site. Tours take only 15-20 minutes. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly.

We loved the tour of the Beehive House! The recreation of the original appearance and the genuine furniture/dishes are awesome to see. The detail is incredible. An amazing little piece of history!

Very interesting place to visit.

Such a cool historic building in downtown SLC. Brigham Youngs actual home. The Sister Missionaries provide a great brief tour and are very friendly.

I respect Brigham Young for leading a bunch of hot chicks and confused men to Utah. He was a badass for doing that. However, I gotta give him a 3. Why? Because he said that single men over 25 are a menace to society. A menace... to society. This is a man who had 12 wives, and he had the balls to blame single men for being single? Think about it.

Interesting place, a little misleading though. In case you just visit this place, you may think Briam Young, famous Mormon Prophet has only one wife. Take at least a brief look to the Lion House, which is a restaurant. Every window there belong according to what I read, the room of a separate wife of the prophet.

Very informative tour! Our tour guides were exceptional!

Great Free Tour. Great history lesson.

Knowledgeable tour guide.

This is a wonderfully preserved building with original furnishings and fixtures. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. Its a must do if you like to learn about history!

While in Ogden visiting relatives, our aunt took to see The Beehive House. One of our grandfathers came west with Brigham Young. The Beehive House was impressive, but I think most of the social dynamics of his spouses was lost on me. I am still not sure how it worked.

Very interesting history. Must see.

Short tour with only a few good history tips. I think it will mostly depend on guides who appear to be rotating missionaries.

Best tour at the whole temple square.

This home is filled with Utah history. It was Brigham Youngs home and it is very beautiful inside. There are 2 parlors 1 a beautiful music parlor upstairs and 1 downstairs. Its a must see.

Free tours available to see the home of Brigham Young. The tour is only about 20 minutes, but theres lot of interesting history to learn about along the way. If you want to learn more about Young, his family, and legacy in Salt Lake City, stop by the Beehive House!

Great history on Brigham Young

Fabulous history.

If youre in the area this is a great tour of Brigham Youngs home. Much if not all of it is original and restored. It served as his office as governor as well as church leader. The tour is free.

Beautiful piece of history, but wish I could have learned more instead of being harassed about converting. When my friend and I politely declined, the sister tour guides became rude and callus. They immediately showed us the door and walked away. Not very welcoming. I appreciate recruitment, but not when it’s unwanted.

Awesome place beautiful buildings great spirit

Enjoyed it, but wish they had directed us to Youngest gravesite.

We had a childrens birthday party at the Beehive House, and it was great. Pioneer games for kids, and some decent treats. Beats the typical Jungle Gym birthday party venue. Kids actually learned something different, and parents still got a break while someone else did all the work ;-)

Beautiful. Free tour.

The house is neat to see and to learn about the Beehive meaning. Sisters were nice, gave a good tour, and laid down the LDS quite thickly. But they dont bite or anything, so go for a visit.

Its an amazingly​ beautiful building with tons of history. If youre​ checking out all the historical Mormon sights in Salt Lake put this on the list. They should change the name to The Beehive Mansion, its huge even by todays standards and it was built in the 1850s

Free tour took about 30mins

A lot to learn about history there.

Basically a historic home of the many wives of Brigham Young. Its a nice house though, and they sell gifts and food.

The house is definitly worth to visit! Very beautiful piece from the past. But the visit told by 2 mormon sisters, that had a total lack of knowlegde about the place (not even the year of building!) and didnt show any interest in it made it less enjoyable. They spent more time telling tales about the prophet and their own beliefs... I guess we didnt look interested enough because our visit was shorter than the other group... too bad.

Great historical information

Worth a visit. The tour was free. Tour guides were informative. Definitely be sure to see the Beehive House when visiting Temple Square.

Went with my Grandmother who use to be a tour guide for the Beehive House just recently. The tour was a little bit of a snoozer because we only went into 3 rooms, and not upstairs at all. The sisters were nice, but they didnt really know anything about the house at all or any history about it. Just kept preaching which was ok, but not what we came for.My Grandma has Dementia, and she can still remember a month later about how disappointed she was in this tour. The LDS Church should restore the tours to what they were back in the 1980s, and get real *trained* tour guides not sister missionaries.

Having been to this place since I was a young girl. I knew more than the tour guides. I love going there and seeing all the old stuff.

A good tour and fun to area to see. Great for family and friends and its free!

Touring the Beehive House was very educational. Its fun to learn the history of Utahs first governor and the 2nd Mormon prophet.

Nice architecture but hardly anything to call it a museum, more like a pilgrimage place.

Cool for the history, but the tour felt like a recruitment tactic for the Mormon Church

You’ll learn things about the building history and the people who lived there.

Wonderful people..learned a lot. Thank you for spending the time with my family

The sister missionaries that tours you around the house are so nice and very knowledgeable!

The food is amazing. It gives you that old style taste.

Amazing place and nice history of the place.

Good food and really good roles
