Temple Square is always open, it is actually literally an open couple of blocks area. Inside the "square" are various buildings like the Beehive House--Brigham Youngs home, Joseph Smith Memorial building which is beautiful, a couple visitor centers and various other fascinating historical buildings & restaurants. Most everything is free admission. Check out their website for more info.

The above answer is correct. In addition the Thursday evening rehearsal is free also.

Rehearsals are open to the public every Thursday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. From July through August, and during the month of December, Thursday rehearsals and the weekly broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word will be held in the Conference Center. There are occasional exceptions to this Thursday night schedule. For example, major holidays, recording sessions, or when the Choir is out of town. These exceptions are posted on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir website as soon as they are known.

Hello We went to a lunchtime recital and did not have to queue and there were plenty of seats. The recital was free. We found details on the website.

We only went to the free rehearsal.

Sometimes you can get in the standby line and hopefully can get in. The Christmas Concert is tickets only. If you want are asking about the Christmas Spoken Word there are no tickets required. The Thursday Christmas Concert is a rehearsal but tickets are required. If you are from out of town and go to the standby line you may be able to get in. Hope that helps.

It opens at 9 am- 9pm, the last tour is about 8pm, open 7 days a week, everything is free, Tabernacle organ playing at noon, Tabernacle choir rehearsal on Thursdays in the evening, Life Broadcast Sunday morning at 9.30 Am, be in your seat no later then 9 Am, doors will close and no-one comes in. Because they are life on tv and have to start on time, children under 8 with their family are put in the special room, so their cries and talking will not disturb the Broadcast.
