Lonely Planet review

The egg-shaped 1867 Tabernacle is again the highlight after the completion of an extensive seismic retrofit and renovation in 2007. Some preservationists grumbled about the replacement of its pine pews, but a few rows of the originals were left in the back. To show off its fabled acoustics, pin drops are held every 15 minutes - the sound can be heard all the way in the back, more than 200ft away. It's also home to the world-renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and visitors can drop in on rehearsals ( Thu, choir broadcast Sun) accompanied by the 11,000-pipe organ.
