More than one million tickets for Salt Lake Temple public tours were reserved in the first 24 hours, but additional slots remain available through early 2027, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The high demand reflects both member interest and public curiosity about the landmark's five-year renovation. Tours run daily and are free, with tickets released in waves to manage capacity.
