    Christmas Lights in SLC

    Went here to see the Christmas lights and it was amazing! How much time and how many lights to decorate all the vegetation? I should just enjoy the atmosphere but I’m analyzing putting up and taking down the lights, lol.

    Great experience

    I learned a lot about the history of the Mormon pioneers, and the incredible sacrifices they made for their faith. What a special place, and an uplifting experience. Highly recommended.

    A Great Place To Visit.

    Temple Square at Christmas is a magical place. Lights are everywhere, music fills the air, and the nativity reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas time. If you can make it during the holidays you will not regret it.

    A visit here will let you know so much about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its history, people and mission. Plus the beauty at Christmas is fantastic with so many beautiful lights and great atmosphere.

    Loved it with all the Christmas Decorations

    Beautiful buildings adorned with a wonderful display of lights and decorations. Very enjoyable to visit during the Christmas season. Was approached by two girls wanting to talk about their religion. They were very nice, polite, and respectful of my own beliefs.

    Saturday night/sunday morning in SLC (8 Replies)
    Will be arriving in SLC around 8pm next Saturday (22nd) and want to hit the best spots for a late dinner, good beer afterwards, and brunch on the Sunday morning. Will be staying downtown, just looking for some suggestions and whether I should make reservations. Activities for Sunday will be around Temple Square, so that area would be great for brunch but I'm fine with walking for something good. Thanks everyone!

    Squatters, Red Rock and Beer Hive are three good downtown spots for late dinner and beer. Check hours on food service. Squatters and Red Rock are breweries. Beer Hive has fabulous collection of beers from around country and world. Of the three, I'm more of a fan of Red Rock beers. Do note that in Utah all tap beer is 3.2. The better craft beers will be in bottles or cans. Red Rock has a stunning lineup. Have fun.

    Hi Mattheus, A couple days for SLC should be fine. The area downtown will take a half a day or so. Bonneville Salt flats is another half a day. The Copper Mine had a huge landslide and is currently closed to visitors while they try to return to normal operations Great Salt Lake at Antelope Island could fill most of a day. You might also enjoy a drive up to Snowbird for a ride on their tram, plan half a day. Utah Natural History Museum, the Leonardo, Clark Planetarium, the State...More

    Brief stay--and on Sunday at that (4 Replies)
    I've been to SLC myself many times, however my husband has never been. The last time I went, Sundays were a very SLOW day in the city...nothing opens or if it does, it opens late. My husband and I are travelling to Yellowstone, arriving in SLC on a Saturday around 2PM....and we'll take off north on Monday AM. That gives us one full day in SLC...Sunday.

    I would suggest looking around Salt Lake on Saturday when more things are open. If you want to see the Tabernacle Choir broadcast on Sunday morning, you will need to go to the Conference Center instead of the Tabernacle, because the Tabernacle is being renovated. I don't know if that will conflict with your church services or not. You might find it enjoyable though, and the conference center is ENORMOUS inside, so it's kind of cool to see. If you do your park city/provo drive on Sunday,...More
