Parking for Temple Square Dining and Private Party Hosting

The Joseph Smith Memorial Building is currently under renovation and is not currently hosting events or providing restaurant services. We hope you’ll join us for events and dining when we re-open.

Where to Park

Parking is available at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building underground facility. The entrance is located on South Temple Street, between the City Creek Center and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. To access the garage, enter South Temple heading westbound, then proceed down the center ramp and make a right turn at the bottom.
