  • Certainly a stunning work if architecture. The fact that they opened it to the public for free tours for a month from Jan 15 to Feb 15th is a very nice act of goodwill. Being curious of religions in general, we decided to check it out. We went online to the Temple website and reserved two tickets for yesterday (Sat) for the 145pm tour. We tried to reserve 4 tix, but only 2 spots were available. We had the idea that they were taking in small groups, which made sense given how holy a temple is in the Mormon faith. What actually happened: We showed up around 140pm to crowds of people the likes of which I haven't witnessed since going to Disney World during March break! There were THOUSANDS of people lined up everywhere trying to get in. We asked one of the dozens of helpful ushers where the forward thinking "reserved ticket holders" skip the huge lines and we were directed to the end of a different extremely long line. We were told from the point we entered would be about an hour wait! I don't wait in line for ANYTHING longer than 20min. Nothing short of front row seats to an Eagles concert or an intimate evening with Morgan Freeman will have me stand in line that long excepting of course airport security or Customs. No amusement park ride, concert, club, Black Friday sale, restaurant, movie, Broadway show, grocery line, car wash, bank, coffee shop, NOTHING! Once I hit 20min or it's obvious it will go at least that long...I'm out! Then we saw another massive line outside the actual Temple. You see this was a two building your starting in a different building. The Temple was part two. Turns out according to the Ushers there would be yet another 30min wait to get in there as all comers had to don white booties to save the carpets inside. Again my 20min rule applied. So needless to say we left and headed to an olive farm instead. I suppose I could try to make another reservation during the week on my own as my wife works days, but it's a really long drive and I've seen enough pictures of the breath taking interior on the internet. It really is amazing work. All of is to say, if you have about 2 hours to fill in your life waiting in massive lines and finally getting in it's a day trip not to miss!
