At the end of October, the Orem Utah Temple will officially be done with construction and open for the public to take tours. Tickets and reservations are available online as of Wednesday.

President Russell M. Nelson announced the temple in October 2019. However, construction was delayed due to a fire in September 2022.

An update on the temple’s construction was posted on the temple’s Facebook page in late August, which shows most of the building and some landscaping complete.
