Temple visitor’s centers

[sljjhatc]

The Young Women and Men in our ward are learning about the temple this year. I was wondering how to find out which temples outside the wasatch front have visitors centers? I have looked in the temple section at lds.org, but there doesn’t seem to be information of that type there. I would like one relatively close to SLC, but I don’t know if there is one. I have to visit one and bring back a brochure from the visit.
Thanks!

Very few Temples have Visitor’s Centers here in Utah. Many of the newer, smaller temples do not have visitor’s centers because they are difficult to staff. Some visitor’s centers have been converted to Beehive Clothing or Distribution Centers of a sort.

AFAIK, Salt Lake Temple is the only temple here with a Visitor’s Center. I’ve been to Provo, Timpanogas, Logan, Jordan River, and Bountiful temples, and they do not have visitor’s centers.

According to at least one site, Manti does have a visitor’s center, but I’d call to find out for sure. I’ve been to Manti, and I don’t remember a visitor’s center, though there could have been one. I’d call them if I were you.

St George does have an operating visitor’s center.

Here is a list of LDS Visitors centers, temple and non-temple.

Another website with information that may be of use to your temple activities is LDSChurchTemples.com. Lots of good information.
