Tabernacle

Address: 50 West North Temple, Salt Lake City, 84101, Utah UT, USA
Tel: +1 801 240 4872
Once the central place of worship for the Mormon Church, this historic religious site is otherwise known as the Mormon Tabernacle and is home to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, who hold regular recitals and have appeared on the radio many times, performing around the world. Constructed partly from native white pine, the pine benches and pillars were painted over by the builders to resemble oak and marble so as to offer only the best to the Lord (who presumably wouldn't notice). Boasting outstanding acoustic properties and a unique three dimensional ellipse roof, the Tabernacle is still used today as an overflow for those attending the General Conferences held by the Church every six months. Salt Lake City's famous Tabernacle on Temple Square is located in the city center and other highlights at the Salt Lake City Tabernacle include popular daily recitals on the church's enormous pipe organ, impressive acoustics and extensive guided tours of the building.
Open hours: daily - 09:00 to 21:00
