This temple is stunning. Both architecturally in spiritually beautiful with beautiful grounds. We visited on a Sunday and ate lunch outside on the grounds and enjoyed the wonderful view.

I'm not sure this is still open to the public, but if it is, it would be worthwhile to take a tour. The architecture is spectacular.

A favorite San Diego Landmark. Such unique architecture. The lighting enhances the grounds and makes this structure stand out, kind of like a beacon. I love walking around the Temple at Christmas, with the family. The Holiday lights are quite amazing!

just like that, you can't get in if you are not a mormon. I was just curious to see how it is inside- but couldn't go in

This place looks straight out of a story book and is an excellent place to take pictures during your trip to San Diego. Take your kids here, have them play on the lawn and snap pictures of them with the Mormon temple behind. People will think you were in Europe somewhere

The architecture is awesome and the grounds so beautiful. It is too bad there are not tours of the interior.

Mormon Temple is really quite amazing site. Even more so at night when it is lit up. Hard to miss it as you drive on interstate 5 north or south.

Worth the stop. Beautiful grounds and an architectural masterpiece. Religious symbols and white exterior against the azure sky is breathtaking. Peaceful and calm surroundings. Happy and clean people. Courteous visitor guides who answered questions about the faith and history of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the area. Also went the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center in...

The San Diego Temple just shimmers when lit up at night and can easily be seen from the freeway. We love to visit whenever we are in San Diego. The grounds are perfectly maintained and very peaceful.
