A HISTORIC SQUARE AND VIBRANT DOWNTOWN
Hosting three to five million visitors every year, Temple Square receives more visitors than Utah attractions like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park. If you’re planning a trip to the region, you should consider booking Temple Square hotels in advance. The plaza is home to many historic sites open to the public, including: Salt Lake Temple, the largest LDS temple in the world, which was built from 1853-1893; Salt Lake Tabernacle, home to the award-winning Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square; Salt Lake Assembly Hall, a 1,400-seat congregation hall for meetings and occasional free weekend music concerts; and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, the historic home of Brigham Young that’s nicknamed “The Beehive House.”
Two visitors’ centers provide tourists with information—the North Visitors’ Center and South Visitors’ Center—each with LDS interactive exhibits and artwork. The area features plenty of local dining options, including three restaurants in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building: The Roof Restaurant, The Garden Restaurant and the Nauvoo Café.
Downtown Salt Lake City and the outlying areas offer an incredible array of attractions. For music and the performing arts, there is Abravanel Hall (home to the Utah Symphony), Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, Capitol Theatre, Ballet West and The Depot. Art enthusiasts can visit the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Science and nature destinations include Clark Planetarium, Discovery Gateway children’s museum, Hogle Zoo and Loveland Living Planet Aquarium.
For indoor and outdoor activities, options include: City Creek Park; Pioneer Park; Lagoon amusement park; Vivint Smart Home Arena (home to the state’s pro basketball team), Smith’s Ballpark; Seven Peaks Waterpark Salt Lake City; and the Maverik Center.
