St. George Utah Temple

We missed our chance to visit the newly renovated St George Utah Temple during its open house. So the hubby and I went and did some temple work the first week it re-opened. It was a beautiful place and we had such a fulfilling experience within its peaceful walls last month. It was a privilege to renew our covenants at such a historic temple.

Such a beautiful and welcoming place. I came here as I travel from Southern California and was amazed at the stunning and bright whiteness of the temple. The grounds were meticulously maintained and then environment very peaceful.

The temple is closed for now till March or May. I went to visitor Center for more information. So I was guided through introduction of Latter Day Saints or Mormon religion and temple's history, I learned quite a bit from short introductions .

The foundation of the temple was laid by lava stones pounded by a huge canon, so it has or would resist earthquakes after 140 years, the white color was chosen by their script for purity, when they enter the temple they will change to white robes or clothes. LDS believes separation of body and spirit, death is a temporary separation of the spirit from the body.

We were here for the Open House after the recent renovations. Everyone was very helpful and kind, and the temple itself is beautiful, with amazing attention to historical details. The Open House is continuing through November 11, 2023. After that, the temple will be dedicated and the public can still visit the Visitors Center on the grounds.

Beautiful place to visit. This is my favorite place to find peace and solace in this crazy world. We walked through the visitor center and are looking forward to the temple reopening so we can go regularly. The temple will be dedicated on December 10, 2023 and open for temple work shortly after.

We were lucky to see this place for the open days (I think they last until the mid of November 2023), it is amazing, very beautifully renovated and huge! As non believers we've never seen a temple before, it was impressive! We were just visiting as tourists, but the people there were all very friendly and welcoming. We could join the tour, at the beginning you see a short film. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures inside. If you get the chance visit it before it's not possible for the public anymore. It's a unique chance for people of a different religion!

Religious recommend required to go inside but not to enter the grounds or visitor center which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Super peaceful environment even on more crowded times. Many areas to sit and reflect or read or just have a moment to Be! The Visitor Center is so informative about history of the structure and so many fun interactive activities for all ages and several movies free!!! ALL are welcome and it is such an inviting environment there

We were fortunate enough to be in the area during the last week of the open house. What an amazing and beautiful building. They did such a good job with the restoration. I look forward to going back again not that it’s been dedicated.

Peaceful place..House of the Lord...as my side trip from salt lake city to las vegas..i am fortunate stopping by in st.george temple got lucky there is an open house..

Beautiful building, during the open house we got to see the inside and it was gorgeous. I can’t believe this was during a time before heavy equipment.

Any Temple of the church is a place that you can find a peace on earth. Go to grow. Inside of the temple is absolutely beautiful.

If you get the opportunity before October 11, 2023, this temple is amazing and beautiful. Be sure not to miss the visitor center also which is regularly open to anyone.

The Temple and grounds are absolutely stunning. The bright white against the red desert backdrop is breath-taking. The feeling there is so peaceful, and everyone is so happy and kind. I can't wait for the openhouse when it is finished. I would love to see what it's like inside.

Beautifully restored! Truly a place where you can feel peace and feel close to God.

What are the most beautiful buildings in Southern Utah?

Still under construction but still an exciting place to come to. So much history and so impressive to see the craftsmanship of old still standing strong. Obviously needed some updating but all in all a house built upon a firm foundation stands the test of time. I am so looking forward to entering it when it reopens in November 2022. The Visitor Center however is open as of April 1st and that is not an April fools joke. It truly is open and has some wonderful exhibits for everyone. I will definitely be back and look forward to it.

Incredible place!! If you haven’t been it’s a must. If you have been good again.

Although the temple was closed, the visitor center was open, and we stopped in. The temple is beautiful and the grounds are so clean. Even though we couldn't go into the temple, we appreciated the view!

Unbeleiveable experience each time...I can’t wait to go back!!!
Everytime I attend this temple I can’t believe how full of love and light the temple workers are. Any question I have or direction I need they are ALWAYS so pleasant and thoughtful and have gone out of their way to assist and help me. Bless you, for bringing a piece of Heaven here to St. George. I’m So grateful to you all…

It’s a sanctuary. Nothing like being in a holy place and at peace. The grounds are beautiful with paths to walk on and flowers to smell. Nice photo opps. The Visitor’s Center is lovely and a great place to take visitors to. Family friendly.

It’s undergoing a renovation right now. Worth still seeing ❤
