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. Even though the Temple LOOKS kinda like a Mormon temple, it is in fact the #1 temple of the Community of Christ Church, which split from the Mormons some years ago (The CCC still holds to some Mormon beliefs, and their sense of temple design). Don't assume that they're part of the same religion, or attraction. They're not. The Visitors Center is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), who hope to build their OWN temple here one day. If you're not a Mormon, this is probably confusing.
