We did a brief walk through Temple Square one morning while in Utah. The Temple Square is home to all things related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). The Temple itself is currently undergoing renovations, but there was still a lot to see.
There are gardens, reflecting pools, galleries, restaurants, and more spanning 5 blocks.
We got there quite early as we had plans later in the morning, so some places were still closed, but we did get to learn a little more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while exploring the area and all the outdoor exhibits and statues.
One of the highlights was the Tabernacle, where the renowned Tabernacle Choir performs. The day we visited they were no performances going on, unfortunately, but we could still visit inside and listen as they demonstrated the acoustics and played the organ - even dropping a pin that could be heard from the back of the hall.
Parking is plentiful, and there are restrooms on site (the nicest restroom building I've ever seen!).
