Church guide

Guests come to #IdahoFallsTemple for many reasons—for the beautiful gardens and architecture, to learn about Church history at the visitors' center, and feel closer to Jesus Christ. What has brought you?

"Placed around the world, temples have their own unique look and design on the outside, but inside they all contain the same eternal light, purpose, and truth." —Neill F. Marriott Visit the #IdahoFallsTemple and feel the Savior's peace and light. Friends of all faiths are welcome to walk around the temple grounds and explore exhibits in the visitors' center.

When you feel like heaven is far away, come to the #IdahoFallsTemple and visitors' center to eliminate distractions, feel peace, and reconnect with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They love you! #Home

A visual highlight of the #IdahoFallsTemple is its central spire. Three LDS temples dedicated before the Idaho Falls Temple were built without any towers or spires (Laie Hawaii, Cardston Alberta, and Mesa Arizona). You can see the spire, reaching for the sky, as you pass by on the freeway. Want to see it up close? Take the Riverside Dr./Center Street exit off of Highway US-20 (exit 119).

The statue of Christ stands at the center of the Idaho Falls Temple Visitors' Center, portraying how Christ is central to God's plan for His children. With hands outstretched, the invitation is for all to come unto Christ. Christ speaks through an audio feature, available in over 30 languages, and promises that all who "listen to [His] words … shall have peace in [Him]." Experience His peace at the #IdahoFallsTemple.

Spend an evening at the #IdahoFallsTemple to see Idaho's gorgeous sunsets light up the sky! Sunset is about 9 p.m. until the end of July. Bring your friends and family to enjoy one of God's beautiful creations, then walk over to the visitors' center to learn about the blessings He offers us in temples.

A new MEET THE MORMONS film, "The Craftsman," is now showing at the visitors' center. The 20-minute video documents the story of Danny Sorenson, a former bishop and airplane pilot from Bountiful, Utah. It took Danny 14 years to build a plane. He said, "The whole time that I thought I was crafting this airplane, my Heavenly Father was crafting me." The visitors’ center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. #MeetTheMormons
