The Mesa Arizona Temple Gardens were featured online recently in “梅薩 AZ 終極願望清單.”

The post stated: “The 梅薩神廟 has been a landmark in Mesa for nearly 100 years. Opened in 1927, the temple has quickly become a beloved centerpiece of the community and an outdoor gathering place for all residents. “The 20-acre lot is filled with beautiful gardens and reflecting pools, making it a perfect place to take photos, stroll with family and friends, or enjoy a moment of quiet reflection in a very peaceful setting,” shares Jill Adair of the Mesa Temple Events Committee.”

在梅薩神廟的花園裡漫步被列為梅薩遺願清單上第六件事，僅次於在寺廟學習新東西 亞利桑那自然史博物館 並在熟悉之前 梅薩藝術 場景。

遺願清單活動還包括散步 梅薩市中心，支持當地企業和餐飲場所，享受仙人掌湖和 博伊斯湯普森植物園，在尋寶 梅薩市場互換大會 並探索戶外活動 烏瑟里山地區公園.

該榜單由全國房地產平台Redfin編制並推廣。

“With its adrenaline-pumping outdoor adventures and treasure trove of local shops and festivities, Mesa has to rank as one of the best hidden gems in Arizona,” wrote Jeremy Steckler, adding this bucket list helps readers uncover “all that this city has to offer.”

The Mesa Temple grounds host a couple of public events throughout the year, including the beloved tradition of the Easter musical presentation, “Jesus the Christ,” on the north lawn, which draws nearly 100,000 visitors annually during the two weeks before Easter, and breathtaking Christmas lights displayed during the holidays, which are turned on from the day after Thanksgiving though New Year’s Eve. Also during the holidays, the nearby Visitors’ Center hosts the International Nativity Exhibit of nativity displays handcrafted from around the world.

一年中的任何一天，遊客都可以在佔地 20 英畝的寺廟花園中漫步，花園裡種植約 100 個不同品種的 100,000 多株植物和 30,000 朵鮮花。花園旨在成為一個休息、思考和安靜反思的寧靜場所。

寺廟場地上優雅的倒影池風景優美，已成為受歡迎的拍攝地點，因為它們是捕捉梅薩寺廟花園美麗景觀和波光粼粼的水面的理想場所。在泳池邊拍婚紗照是很常見的。

歷史悠久的梅薩神廟（1927 年開放）及週邊地區被許多人認為是亞利桑那州風景最優美的景點之一，也是觀賞日落的最佳地點之一。這裡是自拍、合照、全家福和特別活動的好地方。歡迎遊客在場地內拍照錄影。

While the temple itself is not open to the public — is used for worship throughout the week by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — the Visitors’ Center welcomes all to learn more about the purpose of temples throughout the world and the religion’s central focus on Jesus Christ.

The Mesa Temple Visitors’ Center, at 455 E. Main St. at the northwest corner of the temple grounds, is open every day of the year from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. A variety of events happen here year-round, including Sunday Evening Recitals, Heritage Series presentations that feature history of the area and the great diversity of people who live here, family history classes, children and youth activities and much more! Everything here is free and open to the public.

Inside the Visitors’ Center there is an amazing 3D replica of the Mesa Arizona Temple located on the main floor. Upstairs is a FamilySearch Center where helpful volunteers help connect visitors to their ancestors. Early indigenous people and early pioneers and builders of Mesa are honored with interesting historical displays. There is an interactive children’s play area to learn more about all the temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and children can watch a Biblical puppet show.

The Mesa Temple Visitors’ Center is the TripAdvisor 上梅薩排名第 1 的景點玩樂 (共 127 個) and is the winner of their Traveler’s Choice Award.
