I didn't go inside, but I think you can schedule a special tour in advance from what I recall reading the sign. I saw neighbors walking around so they're probably used to seeing visitors.

They are not churches or ward buildings nor are they open to the public. This Temple doesn't have a Visitors' Center (as some Temples do - like the Los Angeles California Temple) - but if it did, members of the public are much invited to take a look inside the Visitors' Center to learn more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Temple grounds are open to the public (and so beautiful and majestic!) - and I would definitely recommend stopping here to experience the peace and joy and comfort the Temple brings.

You know what the real nightmare on 13th is? The amount of time you spend waiting in line, only to be swindled in, back to back with other patrons through the haunt. Enter Dead City, a relatively new haunt (within the past couple of years) that serves as the antidote to Nightmare on 13th. As usual, I really only knock stars because I wish the hands on experience was a bit more intense, but I get it, Dead City is brand new and probably not eager to get a lawsuit. No pun intended, there is a little bit of "dead space" where it's a bit thematically dull, and the scares are in short supply. But my God, when these people scare you they SCARE you. I came on Halloween, and I don't know if it was the last day of the season or what, but those actors were insane. Lots of rooms are really creative, and the end is essentially a maze. Where the actors will not help you out just to rush you along. Last night we went for "Krampus" night, which was festive as all get out. It was essentially a 2 for 1 experience. You got to have some scares, and see some Christmas lights. What's a word for something that's both fantastic and terrifying at the same time? Nonetheless, loved the creativity. As far as I know, they're the first of the haunts to ever do anything like this, and hopefully they make it a tradition. See ya'll next year!

Very grateful to have this resource! 67 year old woman here. I wish there was a way to give this…read more10 stars. 1. HEALTH. For my health, I drink a minimum of 1.5 liters of spring water daily. I try to drink over half of that before I get to have my first cup of coffee in the morning. I think it's the best thing I've done for myself in reducing pain and promoting significant healing. 2. HELP OTHERS!!!! I hope this review helps someone - if not you, then I hope you keep this in mind for someone you know that may benefit from this. The doctors won't be telling you what I'm going to share here..... 3. REVERSE OSMOSIS BAD! I have painful nerve damage in my face for the past 7 years. One mistake - probably the worst thing that I did to myself in trying to heal this thing - was that I was drinking reverse osmosis water. I was thinking that getting rid of all of the impurities of city water would be a good thing (and it is)... but the bad thing that I didn't realize was that I was also robbing my body of all of the minerals (especially magnesium!) by drinking filtered water! 4. NO "FILTERED". Almost all bottled water is just "filtered" and you are not (IMO) doing your immune system any favors by buying and drinking that stuff! 5. SHINGLES, TN & PHN. Trigeminal Neuralgia (or also called Post Herpetic Neuralgia) is the technical term for this outrageously painful condition. Mine was caused by getting shingles in my face without a rash (shingles can happen anywhere in your bod and does not have to present a rash!!!!).... and mine was misdiagnosed for 6 months - leaving me with a horrid damaged nerve that serves 1/2of my face. I couldn't talk for 3 years - too much pain. I've tried hard to not get on the slippery slope of taking more and more prescription drugs for this. There is no such thing as living pain free with it - so might as well let a little pain happen and then my brain has a crack at figuring out what nerve needs healing. And I've accomplished that! So my doctors are shocked that I'm doing much better every year - instead of getting worse. So please share this info if it can help someone. 6. SPRING WATER ONLY. So a year ago, I had the good fortune of tripping across a doctor talking about this on AM radio when I was doing a boring drive from Denver to Omaha to see a neurosurgeon (that was a total waste of time and money!). I started to have spring water (NEVER just "filtered" water) delivered when I lived in Denver. Here, in SLC, the only company that delivers 5 gallon jugs of spring water also charges $13 service fee every time they come by. It gets expensive - quickly. 7. JOINT PAIN To anyone with joint problems, I also found out those crinkly cheap water bottles are very, very bad for you. Do your own homework. I had pain in both knees and one hip starting to happen from me drinking about 75 bottles of the cheapo drinking water bottles from a warehouse store over the course of a little over a month when I was too broke to buy the RO filters that needed changing! Once I heard that doc on the radio, I went to drinking spring water from glass on roadtrips. Pain went away in about 2-3 weeks completely - a year ago. I plan on skiing this winter!!! I'm aware of the perchlorate issue - so I just revisit that issue every 6 months or so. But the benefits (for me) far outweigh that risk that exists from this source. I truly hope this helps someone. Only negative is finding a place to park sometimes. But saving $80-100 a month for my family is worth it.

I'd never heard of it until I discovered that they were playing Rocky Horror Picture Show-the live version. Since our annual pilgrimage to Tower Theater didn't happen this year (thanks Covid) I was eager to find an alternative. It wasn't until my wife and I pulled into the parking lot, 30 minutes before showtime, that we realized this wasn't the movie, this was a real honest-to-goodness play. Gulp. How was this going to be? Fast forward a couple hours...it was AMAZING! I know this review isn't about the show itself, but rather the venue. So I'll say that the theater itself was beautiful, very comfortable and spacious. It accommodated a large audience nicely, with plenty of legroom and aisle space. I didn't feel cramped, like I do in other local, small theaters. Parking is plentiful, and free. I felt like our car was safe in the lot, and it was well lit, providing extra security. Now that I know this little gem is here, I'll look into what other plays they have coming up and will very likely return.

It occupies five city blocks in downtown Salt Lake City with historic sites, exhibits, gardens, monuments and statues. The highlight of our visit was seeing the beautiful Tabernacle, an engineering marvel that needs no microphones. Its acoustic qualities are so perfect that you can literally hear a pin drop. Oh yeah, our tour guides demonstrated that amazing quality for us. Our guides were young Mormon sisters who walked us through the grounds and gardens and talked about the four statues spread around the property. Without a doubt, this is a "must see" if you ever visit Salt Lake City.

We then continued our tour around the grounds and saw many wonderful plants, trees, bushes, flowers and more. The grounds are beautifully manicured! There some educational areas where you can learn more about irrigation, landscaping and design. To walk around the garden takes about 30mins, but we spent 1.5hrs here as we took a lot of pictures and asked some questions from the workers. The workers and volunteers were very gracious to answer our questions and teach us more about the garden. You can tell they love their job and they love visitors. At the end of the tour, I made sure to drop a little cash in their donation box. Thanks Conservation Garden Park for the great time!
