We had a chance to tour the new Provo City Center Temple open house with Breann and Henry. We went early, because the lines get really long later in the day. 30,000 people attended it on Saturday. Wow! Our 9 a.m. appointment was perfect to start out the week. Although built within the walls of the old Provo Tabernacle that burned five years ago, underground parking, facilities, and baptistry make for much more room.
The glass stained windows are in abundance along with spiral staircases and gorgeous wood throughout. Many art pieces draw your attention to Christ, the countryside as the sun shines in during the day and the temple shines outward at night.
They say 500,000 people will visit the new Provo temple during the open house. My son-in-law wants to come from Washington to see it. I'm sure plenty of others are traveling from out of state as well. A large fountain that my grandson, Henry, insisted tossing a coin in was a great backdrop. A beautiful day and sunhouse was all we needed to make the day complete.
The hours to visit are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. You don't need tickets. All are welcome. Just watch for the signs of where to park and you will be glad you did. It's open until March 5th, but don't wait. The sooner you go the faster you will get in.
