While attending The National Championship Fencing tournament, I had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful church, and property. I also witnessed a beautiful couple getting married. It all was such a great experience. This was also my very 1st plane trip.

Grounds are always super clean, and even with construction going on and the virus, they have still made some things accessible.

Temple Square tour was amazing. We were guided by some very friendly and knowledgeable missionaries. We were able to view the construction work on the temple through plexiglas barriers and the temple was well lit.

Beautiful architecture and tremendous history! This wonderful temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is great representation of the church and it’s members. The missionaries were extremely helpful and dedicated people. Many were actually from other countries, how amazing! The grounds are just as beautiful with flowers and green trees everywhere and they are extremely well kept and groomed! Love this place!

A beautiful building on the outside and its equally as beautiful on the inside!!! This is a special and sacred house of God. This is an amazing building and is one of the many ways we can come closer to Heavenly Father, and deeply feel peace and the Holy Ghost. Hope the construction is fast and we can go back there soon!!! Its a must see while in Salt Lake, even though its under construction.

Had a chance to visit Temple Square while in Salt Lake City. Everything was closed and there was a lot of construction going on, but the incredible architecture was really something to behold. Worth the time to just stroll around and take it in.

Under construction for three more years but what a beautiful church

I love to see the temple; Im going there someday to feel the Holy Spirit, to listen and to pray. For the temple is a house of God, a place of love and beauty. Ill prepare myself while I am young. This is my sacred duty.Is that how the song goes? Thats how I remember it.

The Temple Square visitors center is such an amazing place. The sister missionaries are engaging and uplifting. The light is in their eyes. For many it’s easy to reach the depth of their knowledge about the temple, tabernacle or assembly hall trivia, the depth of their sincere love for the Savior is hard to reach. The buildings are amazing. The exhibits are intriguing. But the sisters and the love and spirit they convey are magnificent. I loved this picture and wish I could buy a print of it.

Theres a window into the construction site where you can see the progress on the temple. Also the Christmas lights and some of the Christmas decorations are up, ready to be turned on for Christmas. I wasnt sure if they were going to decorate this year with much of the square being closed sure to the construction and Covid. But it looks like they are.

Splendid architecture and this place gives a good insight in to the Mormon culture. I would recommend spending time in the adjacent Mormon museum which explains the origins of their travels west in to Utah in 1800’s. I tried booking their tour in their HQ but the slots were fully booked but an elderly volunteer at the entrance gave me a brief intro and was pleasant to interact with.Take your time,walk around the temple and lovely gardens with bronze sculptures. Always loved their missionary zeal when I came upon Mormons from US in Bangalore, they even took public buses and always travelled in pairs. Unlike other religion missionaries, they are not pushy and calmly explain their tenets and faith.

Now is a cool time to visit and see the foundation which hasnt been fully exposed in who knows how long

Am very thankful to be able to have steady work at the temple during reconstruction!

This was one of the most remarkable pieces of architecture Ive ever beheld in my life, and I am in awe of the craftsmanship, detail and commanding beauty of this timeless edifice. the experience of touring the Temple square and the visitor center and the conference center will be a cherished long memory. I hope to return again future, and highly recommend this experience to literally anyone and everyone.

Of course not everyone is allowed inside the temple but you can roam around the place for its beauty and architecture. Located in the center of downtown, this place depicts the Mormon culture and religion. You can park in the city center mall and walk around the place. Prayer hall is open to all which is in-fact the most beautiful prayer halls I have ever seen. It’s grandeur is amazing.

This is the worst movie theater I have ever been to. They dont even serve concession snacks. How am I suppose to enjoy? Plus, there is nudity and some kind of weird chanting that happens here. I feel like Ive entered a ritual. Definitely secret not sacred.

Pretty culty. Nice building though, must be really great and spacious inside. Though they won’t let you in unless you give them 10% of your income for a couple years. Come for the gardens, leave for the kooky evangelicalism.

Such a beautiful temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Whether visiting for religious purposes, visiting out of curiosity, or for historical tours, this is definitely a must-see when in Salt Lake City!

To really learn about the LDS Church, skip right to reading the CES Letter. I was a member for 45 years and attended weekly. I learned more about the LDS Church in 60 minutes of reading the CES Letter than I had in all my combined years of attendance. Also, they wont let nonmembers in the temple.... but you can learn everything you want to know about Mormonism on Wiki: Temple endowment, garments, polygamy, etc.

If you want feel peace go to the temple grounds with your family or by yourself. The temple is under construction right now but they were mindful and placed walls with clear windows so the people could see.

We love the temple. It’s a great place to calm down and think about christ

Beautiful temple. Beautiful grounds. Cant wait to go inside when it reopens!

I loved it. Its so beautiful and the visitors center was a great place to learn about the building of the temple. I also really liked the modal of Jerusalem and the narrative given showing the locations of the saviors last days.

The grounds are beautiful and well kept. You cant go inside the main temple building. Its a place that is nice to take in some good sights, but not a good place to spend excessive amounts of time. If you are planning a trip make this a quick stop.

Took advantage of the day off, me and my friend decided to go have a look at temples.When we got there, there were few people from the church and kindly explained to us, history and how they were built etc....it was interesting. Also Garden was well kept and tidy. It is interesting place to visit!

Beautiful temple and the grounds are meticulously maintained. Great place to take your family.

Great spiritual experience. Beautiful even under construction.

I love to see the temple, even during excavations and construction!

Temple Square is a wonderful place to visit and hear the Tabernacle Choir Sing.My Brother in Law Daniel Wilson won the Mormon Lottery and actually got to sing this morning with the Tabernacle Choir.It was awesome!

Impressive complex. Nothing open due to covid hysteria

The meal was rushed the cheese on my cheese enchilada was not even melted the whole thing way under cooked. Very soggy. My suggestion walk over to the food court and eat at Red Egana. And you dont get hassled for a tip at the register.

Absolutely beautiful! Especially at christmas time eith all of the lights

Had a great experience while visiting the Temple while in Salt Lake visiting a friend. Everyone was very welcoming. Beautiful area.

If you are in Salt Lake City near the years end, make sure to visit the Temple in the evening. It does a grand light show that brings out the magnificence of the Temple. On New Years Eve, they also offer a free musical celebration featuring well known musical groups including the Childrens Choir.The seasonal Birth of the Holy Baby installation, though, is somewhat underwhelming. So is the History exhibition. (The Temple is no museum. So, do not expect dispassioned discourse. Still, the architectural and engineering achievements offer no shortage of inspirations.) Other than these deductions, this could be a five-star tourism attraction.

Fantastic. Soon (in 4 to 5 years) the Temple will be open to the public after a preparation ritual of some sort. I meditated for over an hour near the Temple during my visit while many people had weddings on the grounds. Serene. Peaceful. Calm. This place serves a higher purpose.

Unbelievable view very kind people, perfect place to bring the family. No place better on earth

We are biased, but wow. Loved the model of the temple they had on display. We were married there, but I had no idea about much of what we saw in the model. It was busy but crowds were kind and courteous. Christmas lights were great!

One of my favorite places to visit even with all the construction going on!

Really pretty and peaceful place to walk around. Lots of Mormon history here. Went during pandemic and buildings were closed, but still able to walk around the outdoor parts. A couple of nice sisters walked by and petted our dog and were really sweet.

Pretty structure. Was allowed into the visitor center but not the actual temple. The temple is shutting down for 5 years for renovations apparently at end of year. The video inside seemed like it was a lot of carpeting and nice furniture - almost like a hotel lobby.

Beautiful ancient Church, I was so hoping to go inside but couldn’t find the parking and there was restoration work going on .

Beautiful place to visit and contemplate the things of your heart. Only members with a current recommend can enter, however it will cost in January 2020 for 2 years remodeling. The square around the temple has several buildings that you can enter, and there are missionaries from around the world that will be happy to answer any of your questions.

That is always an amazing place to be it feels good its beautiful as friendly

The most peaceful and, reverent place on earth!

Its a beautiful place lots of history a church from 1800s I couldnt see the inside it was closed for a renovations but its a beautiful place all the way around

Not LDS, you have no idea how irritating it is to hear a bunch of lds telling you you dont belong in the temple, im currently working there so its not like i have a choice, all in all i have met some excellent people there

Beautiful lights, beautiful grounds, beautiful feeling while there. Its going to be a long wait for the remodeling that is going to start soon. Looking forward to the changes that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has in store.

Take your time and enjoy the visit in this oasis of peace and concentration in the center of a beautiful time. Visit both visitor centers and let the guides/sisters talk to you and explain their religion and their attitude towards life in general. A great place in the history of the United States

As soon as you step on property its like a extreme calm that rushes over you like a wave. Its an amazingly beautiful place to be. I cant wait to go back.

A great town with great people and lots of great family heritage connected to me

This is a beautiful temple from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Visitors are welcome to wander the temple grounds as well as go inside the visitor centers on the grounds. The north visitor Center has a Christus Statue which is a very peaceful place.

The Salt Lake Temple is always a beautiful place to visit in Downtown Salt Lake City. The grounds are quiet and serene, and you can really meditate about life in a place like this. Remember, it is closed for the next 4-5 years - so all you really get to do is come down here and look at the construction as it is renovated... but when it is open, its a great place to be.

A medium-sized cathedral is set on a quite small square. The cathedral is smaller than most European cathedrals, but it has its own style.European churches have been built over centuries and often combine many styles. This architecture is distnictivly pure.

If you want to feel peace, this is the place. There are a lot of places to see history and architecture. I highly recommend you go and tour the place. Especially at Christmas time.

It is under construction for a few years but it was still beautiful and the gardens are well kept

For those who appreciate this sacred building and its history, the Salt Lake Temple is a wonderful place to visit. The only thing that detracts from the beautiful experience felt here are the people standing outside purpose fully trying to spread false rumors about The Church and its teachings.

This church is true. This temple is beautiful. Anyone can enjoy the grounds and visitor center. Inside the temple is for members only.

Beautiful place. Im sad that the remodel will take so long but looking forward to celebrating once its complete. If you havent been to temple square to see the lights, go - its worth it!!! Theres hot chocolate at the Lion House Pantry until 9 and until 10 at the Joseph Smith Memorial on the weekend.

The most beautiful place in earth that I know of. If you’re in the area you have to stop by. Everything about this place is power. Thank you Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith and the pioneers

Complete rip-off of masonic rituals and symbols from the late 1700s. The acting in the movie is terrible, and they charge 10% of your income! Do not recommend.

Our family loves visiting Temple Square during the Christmas season. It has been a family tradition for 34 years. The lights are beautiful and our grandchildren love the different nativity scenes.

Absolutely beautiful. The temple grounds are always so well maintained and so peaceful. I love coming here and walking around, or sitting and pondering. The inside is absolutely incredible. Faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may receive a recommend from their local leader (Bishop) to enter and participate in sacred ordinances. All guests are welcome in the waiting area and visitors area of the temple. Id encourage those not participating in temple ceremonies to visit the Visitors center directly south of the temple.

Spread the love of Jesus Christ here...“The temple to crush all temples” and I agree whole heartily

Awesome place, great architecture and well maintained public space.

Hubby and I were married here, lots of family history (marriages and craftsmanship).Its a beautiful place, I just wish it was surrounded by so much busy-ness.

There is so much to see here. It is a must see. The buildings are beautiful and the landscaping is peaceful.

Nice grounds and architecture.

Beautiful the house of god that we all need

Iconic landmark that is a no-doubt must-see if youre in Salt Lake City. This temple is a true architectural marvel that deserves to be enjoyed by everyone. Looks beautiful even on a cold and grey winter day.

Awesome temple, very understated. Almost as cool as the Hartford Connecticut Temple.

Always such a place of peace and comfort. I love the salt lake temple and how beautiful it is inside and outside. Its breathtaking. My husband and I were sealed there in December and even though it was insanely busy, we were shown where to go and there was always someone there to answer our questions. Such a beautiful place and cant wait till it opens again.

The history and beauty of this building is astounding. The grounds, the exterior, and the delicate, intricate detail put into everything blows me away. No wonder it took 40 years to build, every detail is perfect. Just standing in the grounds outside, you can feel the spirit of the pioneers who traveled hundreds of miles on foot for the chance to visit it.

This picture will be outdated in a year or so. With all the changes announced, we had to take a trip up to see it. Absolutely beautiful building! Inside and out.

Beautiful, Historic, Sacred location to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This building took 40 years to build. I always enjoy visiting when I am in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Beautiful grounds, beautiful flowers, peaceful.

Just recently went with our youth to do baptisms here at the Salt Lake City Temple. It was the first time for a lot of us to go into this temple and do baptisms here. I just have to say that you can feel the history of the Saints in this temple. The spirit here is strong of faith and fortitude and you can also see it in the architecture and intricate details of everything inside. It was a really great experience and I cant wait to go back.

It was under construction but still looks so good and giant

The temple and temple grounds are a terrific place to visit during the holiday season. If you find yourself near Temple square after a nice dinner or once youve finished shopping, its a great place to visit before heading home.

Inside and out, this is an inspiring building that draws you to God. I love this place.

Beautiful, and very peaceful place. We only had about 1-2 hour to soak in the AWESOMENESS but it was enough to enjoy the grounds and review some church history. The visitors center closed early but we were able to walk around the grounds until 10pm. We than walked to get late night good at the Cheesecake factory. It was a wonderful experience. Next time we will also visit the Catholic Cathedral that was nearby.

Beautiful, especially after Thanksgiving and before New Years with the lights. Everything is so clean and everyone is so friendly.

Always 5 stars before, but only 4 right now (because except for the grounds, its all closed du to covid19).

This place, temple, culture, architecture, art, gardens are amazing. If your in the Salt Lake City area this is a must visit.

Such a beautiful place. The lights are amazing every year!

The most beautiful building in all of Utah, reflecting the very best in workmanship of the 19th century and the high ideals of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This building is a religious masterpiece. The interior is as beautiful as the exterior and the grounds. Although only practicing Mormons are permitted inside, there is a nice miniature showing the interior of the temple in a vistor center just south of the temple. I am partial to the Salt Lake Temple because I was married there; the staff of the temple was so gracious and accommodating to us. Stunning views of the temple from all angles and all times of year--one of the most photogenic buildings in the western United States.

Such a lovely place to visit with information on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. I go there for THE FLOWERS! Everyone is so friendly.

Where to start. The first time visiting here I really felt something different. Something deep in my heart. There is a special comforting spirit about the SLC Temple i cannot explain. Its a warm, happy, relaxing and glowing joy you get while visiting. You have to visit here. No matter what faith you are.

Even outside has info for you to read. Salt lake city is lucky to have this here! Wondrous and breathtaking!

Best sight in Salt Lake City! The beautiful architecture, flowers, trees, and facilities are amazing. There is so much to see and learn about nearby as well! The temple square is a place for both growth and learning. It is a place to make all feel warm and happy inside. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This is a must see if you are visiting! There is such history behind this temple and so much work was put into it! There are missionaries on the site who can tell you about it. And there are two informative visitor centers. One of my favorite parts besides the temple is the Christus Statue.

A really incredible temple located in Temple Square which you must visit if in the Salt Lake City area.

Attractive and beautiful. Great for taking pictures, specially in the morning due to sun’s angle.

I love the Salt Lake Temple! So sad they have closed for the next 4 years but I am excited for the changes that will help keep this building going for years to come! This historic building is replete with sacrifice of those who worked and put their faith forward. It is beautiful!

Historical site. Beautiful floral arrangements on grounds. Many photographic opportunities. Fountains and many beautiful surroundings.

A great place to take your Family for a Christmas experience...dress warm. Beautiful lights and manger scene...and the LDS Temple.

Temple Square is always so beautiful. Its even more wonderful with family. Henry Jones is now married! Levi, Henry, and his sister Nancy

Gorgeous temple. I saw a few guides available to give a tour. There are also museums on the grounds so you can learn more about the history of the temple and see what the inside looks like as visitors arent allowed inside the temple. The grounds were in pristine condition and it’s a must place to visit if you love architecture and are in SLC.

Walking around Temple Square became a therapy to me. Its just the time to relax and feel the love Heavenly Father has for me.

I just love to see the temple. When they get all done with the renovations Im so excited to go inside. I went to the baptistry with a church youth group for youth conference a few years ago, and it was pretty neat.

I love this temple. Its very large and the grounds are breathtaking. I definitely felt peaceful and happy at the Salt Lake temple.
