The grounds themselves are beautiful just to walk around or for a photo-op (including views of the Salt Lake Temple itself as well as reflecting pools and countless gardens) but there are a number of attractions to visit and/or tour, too. Some of the highlights:
- Joseph Smith Memorial Building — Two restaurants, tours, and a free showing of Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration at the Legacy Theater.
- The Beehive House — A home of Brigham Young (second president of the LDS Church and first governor of Utah). The home is well-preserved and the tour is very interesting. It really gives you a feel for 19th century living (of a statesman, of course).
- Church Office Building — great view of the Salt Lake Valley from the observation deck of this 26-story building.
- Salt Lake Tabernacle
- North Visitor's Center — the highlight is a beautiful replica of the Christus.
