Temple Discovery Experiences
The Temple Discovery Experience is a collection of interactive exhibits on the lower level of the Temple Square Visitors’ Center designed to help guests understand the purpose of temples and their place in God’s plan for His children.
Through art, digital media, sculpture, and immersive experiences, visitors explore themes of family, service, belonging, and worship centered on Jesus Christ. Exhibits highlight how individuals and families are connected across generations, how temples bless lives around the world, and how following Christ leads to service and unity.
Approachable and engaging, the Temple Discovery Experience gives additional context to the Inside a Temple Tour, also on the lower level.
