As Utah's most popular tourist attraction, the square attracts five million annual visitors. Two visitor centers at the temple offer free admission daily, showcasing exhibits related to the church's history, operations, and culture. The temple's gardens and grounds also host a wide variety of annual public special events, including a Christmas lighting ceremony that showcases over 100,000 lights throughout the square.
