If you want to have a true experience of what Utah is all really about, Temple Square is the place to see. We have enjoyed our visits to Temple Square every time we have come to Salt Lake City. Temple Square is lit up with Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving, and stays lit 'til after New Year's Day. Summer,... more

We enjoyed our visit to Temple Square. It was nicely landscaped, had a lot to see, and certainly added to our understanding of US history. I enjoyed our guides (young LDS women doing their mission). I did not feel that they were proslytizing; my husband did. For me, they were informative and never tried to push their views on us.... more

You can't visit Salt Lake City and not go to Temple Square. The buildings are breath-taking. It's unfortunate that you can't go inside the temple but they don't even have church services there anyways but looks like they have lots of weddings. The missionaries on Temple Square give all the tours. They're young girls and most of them are from... more

We took a tour of Temple Square while we were in Salt Lake City to do genealogical research. The gardens were beautiful, as the multitude of flowers were in full bloom. The tour includes the Meeting House, Tabernacle, Conference Center and history of the Mormon religion. No, they do NOT try to convert you - they do want to answer... more

We went up here to take pictures around all the flowers and gardens. It was absolutely gorgeous up here. They maintain the gardens and flowers like no one else, and there is a beautiful reflection pond and water fountain. Take the tour of Temple Square, a tour of the Conference Center which has trees and water on the roof! You... more

It is an impressive set of buildings and very friendly people to show you around. It is nice to see it. Unless you are a mormon, keep your visit restricted to the architectural aspects of the buildings. The main church is not opened for visitors. more

I just recently visited Temple Square for the first time. It was a Sunday just after Christmas, and there was snow on the ground. For these reasons, or perhaps others I am not aware of, the square was almost empty, and therefore really quite enjoyable. Yes, we were greeted by a small group of young women, one of whom explained... more

First off, it is a beautiful architectural work and merits a visit purely for that reason. Second, while I appreciate some of the earlier comments, I must say that the one chastizing another reviewer by arguing that Temple Square is not a tourist attraction is unfair and based upon faulty logic. If something was not intended to be a tourist... more

I visited with my family while passing through Salt Lake. I had done some reading on here about what to expect so there were no surprises. The temple square sits on a large piece of land and has many different buildings and things to see. We did not have enough time to see everything. You can wander the grounds on... more
