Tabernacle Choir & Salt Lake City Guided Tour

More about Temple Square

Temple Square sits at the heart of Salt Lake City, a ten-acre haven of granite spires, manicured gardens, and serene plazas that has anchored Utah's capital since the pioneer era. This Salt Lake City tour brings you straight into Temple Square at one of its most stirring moments, the live broadcast of the Tabernacle Choir, where the voices of more than 300 singers fill the historic Tabernacle with sound. Temple Square is more than a backdrop here, it is the stage, the setting, and the reason the morning feels different from any other sightseeing stop in the city.

Your time at Temple Square begins with the choir's "Music and the Spoken Word" broadcast, the longest-running continuous network program in the world, performed beneath the Tabernacle's famous self-supporting dome. After the final note, your guide walks you through Temple Square itself, sharing the stories of the pioneers who hauled granite blocks from the nearby canyons to build the temple at the center of the grounds. You will pass reflecting pools, seasonal flower beds, and the Assembly Hall, with its gothic windows and pioneer-era craftsmanship. The hush of Temple Square contrasts beautifully with the modern downtown skyline visible just beyond its gates, giving you a real sense of how the city grew up around this spiritual core.

This experience is ideal for music lovers, history enthusiasts, and travelers who want a meaningful, unhurried morning rather than a rushed checklist of sights. Families, solo travelers, and older guests all tend to feel at home at Temple Square, where the pace is gentle and the storytelling is rich. If you are visiting Salt Lake City and want one outing that captures both the soul of the place and a truly unforgettable live performance, a guided morning at Temple Square is hard to beat.
