The Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10 acre  Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although there are no public tours inside the temple (because it is considered sacred by the church and its members, a temple recommend is required), the temple grounds are open to the public and are a popular tourist attraction.

Due to its location at LDS Church headquarters and its historical significance, it is patronized much by Latter-day Saints from many parts of the world.

The Salt Lake Temple is a worldwide icon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the heart of Temple Square. The massive granite edifice was constructed in a neo-gothic style over the course of an astounding 40-year period between 1853 and 1893; the pioneers who settled the valley sacrificed both time and material goods to the building of the temple, which stands as a testament to their faith and devotion.

Please be aware that only members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are permitted to enter the temple, but all visitors are welcome to peruse the grounds and admire the stunning workmanship of the building and the serene beauty of its immediate surroundings.

The Visitor Center building is just south of the temple and contains exhibits on the building of the Salt Lake Temple and on the family. Here you can also view pictures of the temple interior.

The Visitors Center is staffed by volunteers who answer visitors’ questions about the temple or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
