Exhibits featuring Jesus Christ and his mission. Interactive storybooks and hands-on children’s activities. Even video projections on the ceiling of the famed Salt Lake Tabernacle.

These are a few of the new attractions the millions of annual visitors to downtown Salt Lake City’s Temple Square, already one of Utah’s most popular tourist spots, soon will be able to see.

A host of new experiences will be available to guests before, during and after next year’s much-anticipated, six-month open house of the renovated Salt Lake Temple, according to a news release from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The exhibits, presentations, videos and more will be located in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, the Conference Center or the Salt Lake Tabernacle.

“These new Temple Square experiences have been designed to help all guests learn of Jesus Christ. He is the focus,” apostle Dale G. Renlund said in the release. “We hope and pray that the millions of guests who come to Temple Square every year and engage with these new experiences will be inspired and come to know their Savior better.”

The ceiling of this domed building will showcase five- to eight-minute projections about Jesus Christ and his ministry.

Showtimes will be announced on the Temple Square website or in the Temple Square app.

Joseph Smith Memorial Building

Ever wonder what a Latter-day Saint worship service is like? In a chapel on the mezzanine level, guests can learn about those meetings, including the role of the sacrament, or Communion.

A new theater with surround-screen imagery and sound will invite guests to imagine the life of Christ.

There will be a dedicated area for children and families, where young guests can learn about faith through interactive storybooks and other hands-on activities.

Attendees also can rest in a new “Life of Christ Lobby,” touted as a place to reflect while viewing scenes from his life and ministry.

Conference Center

New exhibits will also grace the Conference Center, where the faith’s worldwide General Conference gatherings convene every six months.

Galleries and exhibits discuss Latter-day Saint prophets and how they are appointed. A replica of Bertel Thorvaldsen’s “Christus” statue, which is found on the church’s official logo, is also on display.

If visitors take the stairs to the center’s balcony, they will enjoy views of the iconic, six-spired Salt Lake Temple, which will welcome public tours from April 5 through Oct. 1 in 2027.
