Absolutely stunning! Must see. You can hit all the tourist spots in a few hours walking distance. They had volunteers who explained everything and gave a great tour. More

The grounds are just amazing. I couldn't believe that the temple was over a hundred years old. The gardens were beautiful, the visitor's center had some great information, and the whole area was very serene. I was very pleasantly surprised, and rather impressed. More

My husband and I enjoyed walking around Temple Square and viewing the unique and beautiful architecture surrounded by equally beautiful gardens. Highlights were a free concert in the Assembly Hall on Saturday at 7:30 pm by a children's orchestra (a different concert every week- see calendar on the Temple Square website), and a performance Sunday morning at 9:30 am at...

No matter the season the grounds of Temple Square are always fantastic. Flowers and plantings are ongoing. The Visitors Center and other venues are spectacular places to visit. So much to see and learn. There is a feeling on Temple Square that cannot be denied. A perfect place to stroll leisurely to take in all the offerings. More

You can't go Salt Lake City without having seen the temple square. It holds so much history and is a spectacular sight to witness. I decided to spend the afternoon there before I had to leave for airport. It was a great experience. They keep the area very nice and clean with flowers and fountains surrouning the temple. I was...

Staff was helpful, friendly and well informed. Buildings were very nice, especially the convention center. Everything was well displayed and organized. I learned some things about a religion that I am not part of. More

For people from outside of Utah, Temple Square is a great place to get an introduction to the LDS Church and Mormon culture. It is great during the Christmas holidays with the fantastic lights, and it is also great during the summer months with the great gardens. Nice peaceful place to spend some time in SLC More
