Built at a cost of $35 million in the early 1990s. The ceiling of the sanctuary of this supersized ice cream swirl is so high that you are asked to sit before you look up.
Across the street from the Temple is what's known locally as the Mormon Visitors Center, but even though both it and the Temple are owned and operated by Mormons, don't assume that they're part of the same attraction. They're not. The Temple is owned by the Community of Christ Church, while the Center is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who hope to build their own temple here one day. Two different denominations of Mormons, who don't really talk to each other. If you're not a Mormon, this is probably confusing.
