1. Rather than viewing the introductory video at the Pioneer Chapel, we invite all guests to view the video online (see above) prior to their temple tour.
2. FOLLOW THE SIGNS TO THE TOUR ENTRANCE AT THE NORTHWEST GATE OF THE TEMPLE GROUNDS (tours DO NOT start at the Pioneer Chapel building).
3. To limit exposure, we urge the use of face masks inside the temple and wherever social distancing is not possible.

The open house experience will be a walking tour through the inside of the temple. The tour entrance is on the northwest side of the temple grounds. Please look for signs. You will enter the temple on the west side, and exit on the east side.

After the tour, you are welcome to explore and take pictures of the temple grounds and gardens. Volunteers are available to answer questions or take photographs for guests.

ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES

We expect the event to bring thousands of people daily to the temple, which, due to its location and tight physical layout, will create challenges for attendees. LeSueur will be closed to traffic between Main Street and First Avenue. Traffic on LeSueur between First and Second avenues will be restricted to southbound travel only. Please note: Parking on LeSueur will be prohibited.

The following are options for arriving at the Open House and suggestions for making this as hassle-free as possible:

• Light Rail:  Strongly suggested! You may take the Valley Metro Light Rail from any station on the system to the Mesa Dr/Main St Mesa Temple station. Closest to the temple, free parking for light rail is available at Park and Ride lots at Gilbert Road/Main St to the east and Sycamore (Dobson)/Main St or the Loop 101/Apache Blvd stations to the west. You can purchase fares from ticket vending machines located at the train stations or at Circle K stores. Buy a full-day fare, which costs $4 for adults, to provide round trips on the rail. (Children 6-18 are $2; ages 5 and under are free).
• Driving: Parking will be limited and traffic around the temple will be restricted. On-street parking will also be available. For the most current parking information click here.
