Tour the Salt Lake Temple


For the first time since 1893, the Salt Lake Temple will be open to the public. Millions of people will step inside to understand what happens inside temples, see the historic craftsmanship, and feel the peace of a place that is built to honor the Savior Jesus Christ.

You are invited to see this temple in person during its six-month open house. Once the Salt Lake Temple is dedicated, it becomes a sacred space used only for worship. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experience a historic temple that symbolizes the faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
