Welcome to the Washington DC Temple Visitors' Center
Open Daily From 10:00 am - 9:00 pm
Come enjoy spring at the Visitors' Center. Blossoms are opening on the temple grounds and inside, we have musical performances, artwork, and an 8' statue of Jesus Christ with hands outstretched.
Join us on May 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM for an inspiring evening of music with the American Festival Chorus. Under the direction of Dr. Craig Jessop, this uplifting performance will feature a powerful blend of spiritual and patriotic selections that celebrate the American spirit through song.
You can get Church materials and clothing at the distribution center. There is a large selection of Bibles, copies of the Book of Mormon, and Triple Combinations. We also have hymn books, “Come Follow Me” and self-reliance manuals, children’s story books, Church magazines, small pictures, and more.
The Washington D.C. Temple was the first Latter-day Saint temple to be built on the East Coast of the United States. Completed in 1974, it is the third-largest temple in the world.
Visitors from all over the world come to this sacred site for its beauty and religious significance. Members of the Church gather inside the temple for sacred religious ceremonies that bring them closer to God, while tourists come to view the temple grounds and enjoy the Visitors’ Center. There is something for everyone at the Washington D.C. Temple.
