Historic Salt Lake Temple to Open Doors for Six-Month Public Tours
After years of seismic upgrades and interior redesigns, Salt Lake Temple—the LDS Church’s iconic six-spired temple on Temple Square—will open to the public for six months starting April 5, with timed online tickets from September 1, allowing millions to tour its redesigned interior and new underground wing; the project, costing an estimated over $2 billion, aims to showcase openness while spurring visitor traffic and downtown economic activity, though it drew critique over lost original murals and features as part of modernization.
