Beginning May 18, 2026, visitors are invited to explore the newly opened Temple Square Visitors’ Center in Salt Lake City, featuring immersive exhibits, inspiring artwork, and experiences centered on the purpose of the temple and the central importance of the Savior for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The opening of the visitors’ center represents another major milestone in the ongoing reopening of Temple Square ahead of the highly anticipated Salt Lake Temple Celebration, which will take place from April 5 through October 1, 2027.
Guests may visit daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. without charge or advance tickets. Experiences are currently offered in English, French, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish, with American Sign Language (ASL) accommodations expected to be added soon.
One featured attraction, the “Inside a Temple” guided tour, is the only portion of the experience requiring reservations. This 30-minute presentation, located on the lower level of the center, introduces visitors to the purpose, symbolism, and sacred nature of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Beginning June 1, 2026, new tickets for the tour will become available every other Monday.
Additional exhibits throughout the visitors’ center are self-guided and open without reservations, including a detailed temple model room and the “Christus” exhibit. Missionaries and trained guides are stationed throughout the facility to answer questions and assist guests.
Designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, the center welcomes families and casual visitors alike. Strollers are permitted, and guests are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes, especially if participating in the “Inside a Temple” experience.
Outside the building, visitors can also enjoy the newly designed garden and plaza featuring two statues portraying Jesus Christ.
