Editorial Review for Temple Square at Christmas – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
This 10-acre block located in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City is one of the most popular tourist spots in Utah. Within its 15-foot walls are two visitor centers (one houses an 11-foot marble replica of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen's "The Christus"), the Tabernacle, the Assembly Hall and several monuments and statues.
The Appeal
At Christmas, Temple Square is packed with lights (more than 300,000) and visitors (too many to count). Stroll through the grounds and take in the scenery or hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearse on Thursday evenings. If you get tired of walking, cuddle up under a blanket enjoy a ride around town in a horse-drawn carriage. You can usually find one near the south entrance of Temple Square.

This is the one thing I love best about living in Salt Lake City, the chance to see temple square!! There's nothing like bundling up and going out into the cold and walking around looking at the lights!! We usually combine it with christmas shopping, it's such a great experience to get you in the holiday spirit!
